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 :)

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!)?

> but working on a hypothetical web console written in Go has appeal. 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 :)
