(While this role is not primarily a client-facing role, we expect it to involve direct interaction with clients from time to time. Please note that some of our clients use proprietary communications tools, e.g., Zoom, Google Docs, Slack, etc, and therefore applicants need to be willing to use such tools when interacting with those clients.)We anticipate this work to be about 15-20 hours per week. The exact amount may vary based on skills, experience, and your own availability.

We negotiate rates based on experience and skills. We value having a diverse team and strongly encourage members of groups that are underrepresented in software technology to apply. OTS is committed to open source philosophically and as a business strategy. We work in public repositories using open source tools.
