Any chance you can remove that European salary ceiling? You are missing on a lot of great talent, including Europeans, who work remotely for US shops.

Pretty interesting tech.

For anyone curious as to what local-first means, this is an architecture where APIs and state transfer protocols like REST / GraphQL are replaced by a local copy of the database.

Their thesis is that APIs that can only be consumed over the network will inherently be slower than the super low latency of a local database.

ElectricSQL handles the syncing of local databases and transparently resolves any conflicts that may arise to a central Postgres database (in the cloud).

You can read more about use cases they can serve as a drop-in replacement for: https://electric-sql.com/docs/intro/real-world

Cool tech indeed. However:

> Applications close at 12 noon CET on the 3rd April [sic] 2024.

Plus the 110k salary ceiling for a staff engineer.
