Backend Software Engineer
About Mosey
Mosey makes employment compliance a breeze so fast-growing companies can hire and operate anywhere—without the administrative burden.
What's so hard about hiring people in multiple locations anyway?
Each country, state, and municipality has its own employment requirements that need to be maintained on an ongoing basis. Those requirements span HR, tax, accounting, and legal which is complicated and requires deep expertise. As a result, keeping up with the differences and the sheer volume of obligations makes hiring people in many locations expensive and painful.
