Manager, Technical Support - Shifted Work Week

Ping | $115,000 - $143,000

Steph's Notes:

The Careers page is thorough and informative, although the "We're looking for the Best" tripped the "We only hire the best of the best" bingo entry.

People don't come here to join a culture that's built on digital freedom. They come to cultivate it.

Getting some culty vibes here, but maybe it's fine!

The duties are well-articulated and reasonable for the role. I think it really is fine?

And the requirements are all normal too, the benefits section actually contains benefits, and the salary is great at $115,000 - $143,000, although they don't say what the work days are for this role, but that's not a huge deal.

Happy to place this is in Eh, It's Probably Fine.
