It’s always a shame such cool positions are US only. Would love to find some of these kind of companies in the EU (or more US positions that more easily allow non-US workers)

We're currently hiring in the US and Taiwan, where we have entities set up. We will likely set up an EU entity to open up hiring there too, but we don't have a timeline for that at the moment.

  From an Israeli: I wish you will set up an entity in Israel too! Or, more modestly, that you open ordering here.

  I suppose the gripe is more that 'CA or remote' means (typically, and as here) 'in the US'; whereas 'our US and Taiwanese entities are hiring' doesn't have to mean that (though I appreciate it's a lot simpler) - you can be British or German or whatever, in that home country, and employed by a US entity. Anyway, congrats; eagerly awaiting my UK pre-order!

  Will you be opening up any Canada positions? I would love to be able to apply in say a year.

    Maybe Linus can also present the idea to them. Since he's now a shareholder and possibly their most popular owner.

  Definitely please at least consider hiring EU remote. Really exciting positions I'd even be willing to relocate for, but chances are the US visa system will make that too difficult.

  You probably already know this, but "an EU entity [for] hiring" means very different things for EU citizens than for permanent residents or visa holders/seekers. Since the EU is not an immigration union, as a permanent resident of Germany I am only allowed to work in Germany, not in any other EU country. Granted, I could probably get a work visa for another EU country, but if I wanted to remain a German resident things would get tricky very fast. For fresh or prospective immigrants it's generally less favorable; and every EU country has different regulations as well as attitudes to immigrants from different regions. Thus I recommend, when you get to that point, that you do some research about which EU countries are most advantageous to you and your potential workforce, and open subsidiaries in the countries that make sense. Probably more than one, out of the gate. Because missing out on the pool of immigrant talent in Europe is probably not your goal. And congratulations on the funding!

  For the EU it would probably make more sense to hire remote freelance. Otherwise it is quite a hassle.

  You might want to look at Employer of Record services like Deel, if you are considering setting up country/regional entities just to enable hiring? (No affiliation with Deel, but about to start a new remote job with them as EoR)

  Super cool! I wish you good luck! Firmware engineer definitely sounds great to me, hopefully the type of job I can steer my career towards in the future! :)
