#42We're hiring Java wizards to work on the core of Tropo. http://tropo.com/ We're a distributed team (China, London, Orlando, Philly, Phoenix, and Bay Area) so we're adept at working remotely. Somewhere in the Bay Area preferred, but we'd also love to talk to you if you're located near any other large US city or technology hub (Seattle, Boulder, Austin, Chicago, Boston, NYC, Philly, etc).

What kind of working environment do you have that in a team of less than 25, a member of that team can be that far off-base?
