This is a speculative opening, meaning we don’t currently have an open role that suits your skills. That’s okay, we’re glad you’re interested in working with us! We do our best to review CVs in here every few weeks, but it can take up to 3 months to get back to you… sorry, we know that’s not super speedy, but it’s because a real-life human reviews every single application. Not an algorithm, not an android, not a robot.
