Our company culture is a team of rugged adventurers out to make a difference in the world. We are a distributed company, but the majority of us are in Central Texas. Those with a life-attitude of being on an expedition in the back-country will like working in this environment. This is a full-time work from home position where you determine your own hours and have your own equipment. The ideal candidate for this position lives within 45 miles of Red Rock, TX because we like to get together to party sometimes (but close proximity is not a requirement).
Are You Good with Servers and Sweet Peas?
