Hey guys, thank you for taking an interest in the job, the position is still there but with a little/big caveat, because of Mexican laws, you need to be eligible to work on Mexico under Mexican law even if you do remote :frowning: , I’m sorry if this causes any issue with the position :frowning:

I am not looking at the moment but for the purpose of forum visibility, can you give a quick list of such requirements so people know if they want to apply?

I’ll see what info I can gather to broaden the eligibility, but for now I’m told that you need to be a Mexican citizen or at least already have the needed permits to work in Mexico (I don’t have the details on that) because you need to have a kind of Tax ID that would allow Mexico to tax your income.
