My current employer, Rigetti Computing, has I think 100-200 employees and has a few that are working from the UK, Australia, or Canada. But I think they would have to be especially interested in you to let you work from abroad as a new hire.

#12Curious question: does that also mean you get US salaries between $100K - $120K?

#13The arangement is a third party hires me as an employee in the UK, where I receive all the British employment rights (holidays, etc), and I just work for the US company. This is a fairly new thing for them, previously they had only taken on non-US persons through contracting companies.
I would guess that if larger companies were going to hire abroad, they would either have a local setup to manage payroll or do something similar to where I am now. No idea how many are really offering something like that.

#16Actually, for us they are contractors. We only have W-2 employees here in the US.

#18Where do you find your contract US startup jobs? All I see is full time jobs on angel list. Maybe I'm not looking in the right place?

#20I don't know if this counts, but I had to spend two weeks in Juarez Mexico last month for my wife's green card interview, and I spent a majority of that working for a US megacorporation. We're all remote-first anyway, so most of my coworkers didn't know/care about where I was located geographically. Only thing that was a bit irritating for me was having to work in a different time-zone.
