I have a question: Will this job be made of Awesome? I think so!

I don’t live in London and I really want to contribute to Symphony. Can I still participate?

It’s worth submitting your CV if you’re not in London. Although not ideal, we are open to remote working and already have a geographically disperse team…

@Allen you didn’t say if this job will be stupid awesome ;)

Wow, it is interesting… but I am an XSLT newbie…

Hmm. Finally get to go to Europe, get to work with a top London agency doing amazing work, get to work with Symphony all day, every day. What more could you ask for? I would think that the CV should be in the form of a Symphony ensemble.

But would I have to give up speed skating?

@bauhouse: ha!

No: there’s a lot of this in London

Yes: we’re far too cool for that :)

And the submission of an ensemble would be a perfectly acceptable example of your work.

It’s the classic tale of launching something and then stuffing something important up!

We changed our email servers a day after this post (I know, smart!) but promptly left out the recruitment@getsymphony.com account. If people can resend us your application that would be super.
