Application Question(s):
- If you are selected for the job, when will you be able to start?
- This is a contract-only position. We’re a Singapore-based company, and we won’t be engaging an Employer of Record in India. That means you’d be engaged as an independent contractor, responsible for your own taxes and any statutory or government-related paperwork on your side.
