to add to the post, our humans are all over the world but we have folks in the States, Latam, Philippines, and other SE Asian countries. they primarily do accounting/bookkeeping tasks today (for us at APM Help which I'm the founder).

sigh. hate having to do this but i've exhausted all other efforts. really hope airbnb can get back to its glory days as my experience is nothing short of embarrassing.
Yes, people who do the same work should be paid differently based on where they live. It makes complete sense.
sorry it's not the same work and most of the time no where close to same effort. there are timezone, culture, language, and many other differences that have to be bridged so when I can hire an engineer in the US for $200k and an international engineer for $200k (with all of the differences), the reality is, i'm going to hire a US engineer doing the "same work".
> we're very happy with international engineers but if you come to me asking for a US engineer comp, it takes away the primary reason why we'd consider international in the first place
So engineers outside the US are fine if you can get them at a steep discount compared to their American counterparts? This sounded quite appealing until this line. Now I feel like the company is overly stingy. In the future you may want to leave this line out and simply tailor offers to the candidates when the time comes.
meh. it's just the reality and the last time i posted (and hired a few from HN post), it was a recurring thing. we actually pay above market locally but when someone in Brazil is demanding $200k/year USD to start... it unfortunately turns into a non-starter.

Howdy! APM Help is silently one of the largest SFR (single family rental) operators in America with over 300k units we help manage. We see ourselves becoming the operations layer (back office) of every local (boots on the ground) property manager in America. We have big challenges we think can be solved with tech/automation/AI in the areas of leasing, accounting, maintenance, finance, insurance, and compliance because every single rental unit is effectively a small business.
We're effectively bootstrapped ($7M+ ARR), cash flow positive, operating close to the Rule of 60 and we're looking for engineers who are maybe tired of the hype and wanting to solve real fundamental problems in housing in America.
Email me directly with more than just a resume if interested! taylor at apmhelp dot com
Side note - we're very happy with international engineers but if you come to me asking for a US engineer comp, it takes away the primary reason why we'd consider international in the first place.

ACE score of 0. Based on the questions, I had a gifted upbringing. I need to do more with my life considering.
We're integrating robots in and around buildings (focused in America for now). Example usecases:
- security guards, doormen, receptionists (low mobility using humanoids)
- security patrol around perimeter of buildings (high mobility using dogs)
- moving things/packages within a building (last step package delivery)
We are building on top of Unitree's hardware and there's lots to do.
- abstraction layer similar to Swift for iOS and Kotlin for Android
- appstore
- example reference apps (think mail, calculator, camera, maps)
996 work environment due to collaboration/communication requirements with folks in China and insatiable demand for deploying robots.
