This is a fair question and the answer is simple - U.S. citizen for tax and paperwork reasons - visas and foreign employees add a lot of administrative and legal overhead we are not really interested in dealing with. Living in the US is due to timezone concerns. Our team is US based and while you can work from home, we do need you to be available for conference calls during loose business hours. We've never had a lot of luck with someone that says they will do work while the rest of the company sleeps and so we treat it more like "flex time" with a core set of hours you are expected to be available.Well, I know you have mentioned it explicitly about being U.S. citizen and staying in US; but since it is Remote work - I am just curious to know why you are not considering people from other parts of the world. Some best coders exist outside US as well! ;)
What is it missing? Please call them out and I can clarify if possible. My little post was more to test the waters on this forum so I didn't get it drafted up our HR lady in charge of hiring so I'm sure I missed a fair bit. We do offer full benefits (via our partner Administaff) and can discuss stock options if the applicant warrants them. We are very flexible in negotiating when we find the right candidate. Thanks!Opportunity looks quite interesting, especially with it being in the gaming industry. If I wasn't missing two important items I'd love to apply.
