    I would apply, but I don’t understand why they have “remote” but then tied to a specific country. I live in Korea and I’d understand some kind of a problem with time zones but before that I lived in Sweden and then I couldn’t have applied either.

      Usually it’s tied to employment regulations, funding requirements, the administrative overhead of dealing with a foreign tax code.

      If you really want to make it work, open a loan out company in the jurisdiction of the enploying company. The employing company hires your loan out corporation, and your loan out corporation then pays you. That way your loan out corporation does all the work of paying and managing you in a different country. And the employing organization doesn’t have to worry about any administration, overhead, legal issues. You’re taking all of that on. I’ve seen it work. But most companies don’t want to volunteer for that extra work, having a loan out is very helpful.

      Legal business contract stuff, most likely. Different countries have different employment law requirements, so Mozilla would realistically need legal representation in those places. That gets pricy fast.

      I’m also excluded, for what it’s worth.

        I mean, you can’t “employ” someone but you can enter into a contract with a business a business that happens to be a single person business.

          that too can get legally complicated, due to laws protecting people from being exploited this way

      If you like conspiracies you could ask yourself how much work on Firefox could have been done if Mozilla had invested their ad billions globally.
