When and where do you work?

This role works standard business hours (Monday through Friday, 8 AM – 5 PM). This role is locally based in Williamstown, Kentucky. Most of your working day will be spent working remotely, yet we meet regularly in-office for design meetings, interaction, and other team-building exercises.

We recognize the best talent might not live within a commuting distance to our office (ideally within 45 minutes). We offer a generous relocation package for candidates outside the local area. If you’re our top candidate, we’ll help you move here!

Does this sound like a good fit?

We hire the best fit, but there’s a lot more that goes into “best fit” than a laundry list of previous experience.

If you love our mission, values, and model the humble, hungry, smart ethos we aim for at A2U, we encourage you to apply – we’d love to hear from you! We respond to all applicants, so you’ll definitely hear back from us.
