Remote-first companies that actively hire

I wonder how this works tax- and social security-wise. Normally, the employer must pay social security in the country where the employee is physically located. Also the employer must adhere to any employment laws for that country.<p>At least that’s what HR tells me in my current job, as a reason why they won’t let me go full remote.<p>Are they right? How are full-remote companies handling this?<p>Edit: Context is EU&#x2F;UK.

1Password is remote-first. We do have 2 office buildings but even the headquarters has less than 20 people in it on a given day. During COVID I’m pretty sure that number has gotten even lower. I’m not even in the same country so I’m never in :)<p>And yes we’re hiring a lot <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;jobs.lever.co&#x2F;1password" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;jobs.lever.co&#x2F;1password</a>

Heap¹ is virtual-first and actively hiring (not to mention, scaling like crazy). I have colleagues in North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. We have an excellent engineering culture and need more hands on deck. :)<p>Hit me up (email in profile) if any of the roles listed here² look interesting to you.<p>¹ <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;heap.io&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;heap.io&#x2F;</a><p>² <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;grnh.se&#x2F;d7ce9bfc1us" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;grnh.se&#x2F;d7ce9bfc1us</a>

Odd not to see DigitalOcean on this list, given at least when I left (before covid), remote was ~55% of the company and very much a first-class citizen. They certainly are actively hiring at much higher rates than most of the companies on this list.

Canonical is another company that has been remote-first since it was formed in 2004.

These lists need an asterisk for companies that do location based pay, so we know to ignore them.

&gt; Basecamp ... a company that offers 100% remote jobs, their employees are scattered across 32 cities in different time zones.<p>I&#x27;m guessing this is no longer accurate.

I wonder if any of these companies would be interested in paying Monero and just avoiding taxes entirely. Taxes are such a huge headache for both parties. Of course it&#x27;s illegal, but hard to trace if done right. I think it would be worth being exposed to a wider variety of talent.
