About us
The Meitheal is at the core of Grow Remote, meaning we were built by many hands over the past few years. In 2019, we raised government funding so that we could dedicate a team to continuing the community’s good work. Today, the board and executive team make up Grow Remote Ireland, a Company Limited By Guarantee.
If you think you’d like to work with us at Grow Remote then we’d love to hear from you. Email your CV to [email protected]
We’re growing fast and always hiring, even when we don’t have ads live. Instead, we snap up good people when we find them.
