Work Location

This is a remote position on a fully remote team within Ireland.

Our headquarters is in Herndon, Virginia (about 30 minutes drive from the US Capitol in Washington D.C.). While our HQ is in the U.S., we are a global company! Most of our team works remotely on a day-to-day basis, and we support collaboration through a variety of online tools designed for remote teamwork.

We come together as a team in Dublin when it makes sense to collaborate in-person, usually once per month. We also hold team touchdowns in Dublin three-to-four times per year, with guests from other Expel locations and team activities.
