Location/Hours of Working

Anywhere. Although ISC is located in the United States, most of ISC’s staff work from their homes throughout the rest of the world and ISC doesn’t have regular office space.

Hours: With staff working from many time zones, there are no set hours of work. We require that staff work forty hours a week but, within parameters set by their manager (e.g. available for meetings, having some overlap with other members of the team), staff are able to choose their own working hours. Many of the ISC staff have small children at home, so we do understand there might be some volatility in working hours.

This position is open to anyone regardless of nationality, and is suitable for home working. Note that occasional international travel will be required to attend company and team meetings and/or conferences. In the past these have been held in the USA and in Europe.
