FAQ

Do I need to know how to code?

Yes, but don’t worry if you’re not a pro! We already have technically focused content; we are ideally looking to add someone with more of an educational focus to the team in this role. If you’ve done a short course, or picked up a little in your own time, you’re probably all set!

Is this a full-time position?

This is intended to be a full-time position, at 40 hours/week for a twelve month period. However, for the right candidate, some accommodations could be made.

Can I work remotely?

A reasonable amount of working from home (or a café, whatever works for you!) after a settling in period is fine, though we’d still like to see you in the office (in Dublin, Ireland) from time to time! However, for the right candidate, we are open to a more remote working arrangement (other countries/continents) that works for both parties.

What is the intended start date for the position?

March 2017.

Is this a paid internship?

Yes. Salary will be determined based on the candidate and will be subject to PRSI and other taxes.
