This is not the case, just to be clear about it. We have a bunch of folks in Canada, the UK, and Europe. We do ask for some overlap in working hours with the US, which does make it harder the further away you get, but that is the constraint, not “US only.”

I adore the clear rules Oxide has on their webpage regarding scope of where they hire from. I'll admit that to this day Github has been a bit of sore memory spot with how they publicly were all "we hire internationally and remote" but for a long time wouldn't publish that "internationally" meant "here's a small list of countries that applies to". Now if only I believed I had a chance to pass the interviews :D

Ah, that's good to know since it wasn't clear you were able to hire in Canada, as the peer comment says, I am not sure I would make it past a screening round :) (I don't currently do Rust - though I skimmed the tutorial and it looked doable), but working on a hypothetical web console written in Go has appeal. The other project I'd be interested in working on (likely as an open source, separate project) would be bringing the dx/ux and tooling to home lab level gear. Is there a Canadian subsidiary or is it a contract employee kind of relationship (if you can comment!)?

Our console is written in TypeScript on the front end and Rust in the back end, as far as I know: I'm not aware of Go being a meaningful part of our stack (other than in dependencies, like CockroachDB). > Is there a Canadian subsidiary or is it a contract employee kind of relationship (if you can comment!)? I don't personally know the answer to this, being from the US :)

    Neither in that we use Remote for our non-US employees.

      I guess my question was more related to taxation and legal structure 1. Employees (eg people who get a 1099(?)) would seem to require a green card or visa. 2. A contract employee is more of a business relationship but avoids the above requirements (if any, I am no expert which is why I asked :) 3. A Canadian entity would issue a T4 slip and also avoids any visa requirement and has none of the downsides of doing things as a contractor. But it requires the parent to have created and registered a company here. I currently work for a US parent with the 3rd option (we were acquired). Engine Yard (not me, but I knew people there) used option #2.

    No worries and whoops, I seem to have glommed the bullet point in the job description together: "Our own web console, CLI, and SDK consumers (e.g., oxide.rs, oxide.go)"

      Ahh yeah, I can see how you did that, it's all good :)
