If you don't mind me asking, how many employees?
lewisj489··on Ask HN: How many females do you work with?
Yes it's not down to companies at all, the best fit should always get the job.

I would say the UK is quite good at not gender shaming roles (Except nursing for males unfortunately)

Not sure why you're being downvoted. Telemtery can be a invaluable tool for a whole bunch of reasons. It should, of course, be optional.
