Hello, is this position allowed for remote world wide right now or still just for remote USA? Thanks!
axelson
Hi Luiz, it’s still remote within the US.
lccezinha
Thanks, I sent my CV just in case.

Wow, Felt looks awesome!
I’m not qualified for the position, unless you want a tester who’s just learning Elixir
axelson
Thank you, we’ll take a look and get back to you!
axelson
Thanks for the kind words! I am biased but I do think we do some pretty cool stuff at Felt
(and we have very fun internal talks given by people that are rather big names in mapping 
).

Felt looks like an awesome opportunity. Are you guys still looking? If yes, are you open to remote from India? I have been working in the US timezone for the past 4 years with total 9 years of experience.
