Remote-First, Compliance-First: Building Teams the Right Way
The two don't have to be in tension.
Companies building distributed teams often treat compliance as the tax they pay for going remote - something to tolerate rather than get right. But the two goals aren't actually in conflict.
A remote team built on solid local compliance - proper contracts, correct payroll, accurate filings - is more stable, not less.
Engineers who are paid correctly and on time, working under contracts that meet local law, tend to stick around. Compliance done well is retention infrastructure.
