Not-so-fun fact: Research shows that while men apply to jobs when they meet an average of 60% of job criteria, women and other marginalized groups tend to only apply when they check every box. So if you think you have what it takes but you’re not sure that you check every box, apply anyway!
This will be a remote position but we will need you to either be based in San Jose, Costa Rica or be able to travel to San Jose, Costa Rica 2-3 times per year.
