We love being fully remote and its many advantages! The ownership, the amazing talent, the transparency, the flexibility — Amazing!
Actually hiring people from other countries is pretty challenging, but here's how we're tackling that:
Here we've got our own entities through which we can hire employees.
We work with Remote as our Employer of Record. That means that we can hire you as a permanent full time employee by a local entity on behalf of Checkly. The local entity deals with payroll in local currency, taxes, compliance etc, but your day-to-day role is with Checkly. You still get the same benefits as everyone else (e.g. 27 paid days of vacation, Standard Employee Infra budget) and we still decide on things such as promotions, pay increases etc.
Here's a list of countries Remote currently serves.
If you're in a country that Remote does not serve or you prefer to be a full time contractor, we can hire you as a contractor. (We don't like the term contractors because we view and treat them the same as our employees.) Even if you're not legally an employee, we do our best to provide you a very similar experience and also offer paid vacation, paid sick leave, personal development budget etc. Contractors are hired via our German entity, Checkly GmbH. As a contractor you have to take care of your own taxes, health insurance, etc, and are paid in either EUR or USD.
