🔥 About Win.com
Win.com is a fast-growing tech startup that brings together the excitement of gaming and the thrill of real money competitions encapsulated in an all-in-one bite-sized entertainment experience.

❓ What is it to work here
Win.com is a 100% remote company, and your colleagues are distributed around the globe. Being remote adds great flexibility, and helps us build a more diverse team. Besides being remote, we work asynchronously as often as we can. This means that our team communicates mostly using Slack. When we need it, we also have video calls.

🗓 Our hiring process
We receive a lot of applications for each position and due to a high number of applicants, we will not be able to provide individual feedback at the initial application stages of this process. We will, however, email you regarding the outcome of your initial application.
Our hiring process and timeline can vary from role to role, but typically you can expect:
Step 1. We'll review your application to screen for a variety of criteria.
Step 2. A video call with Adriana from HR so we can get to know each other a little better. It's an informal call, there's nothing to prepare.
