Big announcement today at @remote! We are going all in on 𝗴𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗮𝘆𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗼𝘆𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲, and opening our platform to the world. Sounds simple until you try to build it: Payroll in one country is already a dense topic. Payroll across the world becomes an insane systems problem: tax laws, social security, benefits, holidays, languages, currencies, equity, and local interpretations that change because a government updated a rule somewhere. When we started Remote, my engineer brain thought we would plug into the payroll APIs that existed around the world. They mostly did not exist, so we did the hard work. We set up entities. We built in-house payroll engines. We documented compliance country by country. We learned the local details that make payroll work in practice. It took seven years. It took a lot of investment. It took a lot of people doing important work. Today we are opening that infrastructure up. Any company, any tool, any workflow, any AI agent can plug into Remote and use the global payroll and employment infrastructure we have built. You keep your systems. We handle the hard parts: payroll, compliance, employment infrastructure, country by country. I am grateful to our team, our customers, our partners, and everyone who supports us along the way. Seven years building toward this chapter. The best is yet to come. Let’s go. Full story: okt.to/VOw785
