Instead of listing position options as elsewhere, it might be possible to localize to the user's own location, using the user's IP to detect where he or she is, and render in the site copy.

This would help make possible remote workers feel encouraged to apply.

This is nice!
Did you forget to remove the API Key ?

@leovarmak good call out! I removed the API Key. @prichodko, I added a comment in location.js about including an API key if this were to be merged. Here is what it looks like with the API key all set up properly.

Hey @azilnik, thanks for you contribution! Although it's a neat feature I am afraid it could confuse people into thinking there is a Microsoft office hiring in their city, which probably is not true.

What do you think?

It's a good call-out @prichodko! I think it would work if there are remote opportunities. Hmm I wonder if there's a way to get the user's location data and match it to open roles, and indicate whether you're hiring in that particular location. Thoughts?
