Kiwi here, I work for a large US company, full time remote, nearly all of my team is in Europe - UK, Germany, Italy, Spain, Slovenia, Czechia, but I often collaborate with staff in Australia and their NZ sales teams also.

I'm employed by their NZ subsidiary so tax and employment law is all straightforward.

My initial salary offering was above local market, but definitely not SV levels.

In terms of timezone alignment, most communication is async, but there are some evening video calls, but 1 - 2 a week at most.

If you've got a way I can contact you - a reddit account would be fine, can see if my company might be up your alley.
