Can't help but notice that 8 out of 10 of their accepted applicants' locations are in US. I've been wondering whether american startups even consider hiring somewhere from e.g. eastern europe or africa or central asia.
If you're "hiring" remote workers, you generally don't have adhere with local laws unless you have a physical presence there. What I mean by that is - they remote resource is generally responsible for their own legality.
Location: Western Hemisphere.
If you want to work remote, that's cool. If you want to work near others, that's cool too. Our team is distributed across the world because it lets us work with the best people. You don't have to be located in the USA either, you just have to be talented!
For other positions, no.
The reason this position is western hemisphere is because most of our partners are western hemisphere so it'll be much easier for you to work with them.
