Bogotá (COT) is UTC-5, so Europe runs 6 hours ahead in winter and 7 hours ahead in summer. A European workday of roughly 9:00-18:00 falls between about 3:00-12:00 in Bogotá (2:00-11:00 during European summer). Since the team is async-first, the expectation is reliable overlap during the European morning rather than a fully replicated European day.𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻Competitive salary for a multinational company, aligned with senior-level experience.𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗹𝘆The Configurations Lab is managing applications for this role. #Golang #BackendEngineer #RemoteJobs #Colombia #Insurtech #Hiring
