I'll work your hours.
Then I'll move there.

Nine target cities across the UK · EU · Nordics · Canada. Each card cites the 2026-verified visa path, the gov salary floor, the realistic band for my seniority, and the companies that already file these permits at scale. From day one of an offer I operate in the destination's business hours — there is no "Dhaka schedule" to adapt to. The visa is logistics; the work starts now.

— 01b / Sponsor-ready roles in London

What's hot in London right now.

EU's largest AI + fintech capital pool. Post-Brexit sponsor caps have made senior hires slow and expensive — companies pay a premium for engineering leaders who can ship and retain.

Director of Engineering · Fintech

MonzoRevolutWiseGoCardless

Series A→C teams scaling payments infra. 97% retention + 300% TTM track from ELO is exactly the velocity-without-burn profile they hire.

AI products need engineers who sit with customers. 8 yrs of EU client delivery + LLM/RAG production builds (NewScriber, TagRamp) maps directly.

— 02 / Working in your hours

Your business day is my business day.

8+ years of cross-border ELO delivery means I already operate in client business hours — PST / MST / EST / GMT / CET / JST as the role requires. There is no asynchronous handover theatre and no "overlap window" to negotiate. I'll commit to your hours from the offer letter forward, and relocate the moment the visa lands.

09:00–18:00 JST

Tokyo is the closest band of all — JST is only ~3 hours from my current base, so the destination-hours promise is the easiest of any market to keep.

Four stakeholders. Four resolutions.

◆For recruiters

Bundle, not a sourcing project.

I arrive with the artefacts pre-compiled: passport scan, work history, referenceable ELO co-founders + EU/CA client contacts, CSPO + Google AI Agents certs, eligibility memos for every path above. Send the JD; the bundle goes out same-day. Your sponsor lawyer files in week one, not month two.

▰For hiring companies

Zero delivery downtime through the move.

I start in your hours on day-one of the offer letter, no relocation gate. Visa filing runs in parallel — Stockholm 2-wk certified-employer, Canada GTS 2-wk SLA, UK Skilled Worker 5-day priority. I show up to the office once the permit lands; by then I've already shipped a working feature and met every IC over standups.

— 04 / Hire blueprint

Day 0 to first shipped feature, in writing.

The processing layer most candidates leave for HR to invent. Here's the sequence I run with hiring managers and immigration counsel in parallel.

  1. Day 0–2

    Intro call & alignment

    30-min call. Hiring side names the geography, role band, sponsor appetite. Fauzul names compensation band and the visa path he'd run. If both agree, bundle goes out within 24 hours.

  2. Day 3–7

    Hire bundle delivered

    Single shared folder: CV, certificates, references (ELO co-founders + EU/CA clients), passport, salary expectation memo, country-specific visa pathway memo with form numbers, sponsor licence number slot pre-filled.

  3. Day 8–14

    Offer + remote start in your hours

    Counter-signed offer. Fauzul begins work immediately under his ELO entity (or as a contractor depending on jurisdiction), already operating in the destination city's business hours. First standup, first PR, no downtime on the roadmap.

  4. Day 15–60

    Visa filed & granted

    Canada GTS lands in ~3-4 wks (BC PNP Tech / Québec Arrima / Alberta AAIP run PR in parallel). UK Skilled Worker priority in 5 working days. France Passeport Talent in 2–8 wks. Ireland CSEP 4–8 wks. Sweden 2–4 wks via certified employer. Spain ~5-6 wks. Norway 1–3 mo. Germany 1–3 mo. Netherlands 2 wks via recognised sponsor. Japan HSP 1–3 mo via Certificate of Eligibility.

  5. Week 9–12

    Relocation & onsite ramp

    Travel booked once the BRP / visa vignette lands. First two weeks onsite is ride-along: every standup, every coffee, every customer call. By month four — two real features shipped, the team known by first name.

— 05 / Regional fit narratives

What each region is actually short of.

United Kingdom
United Kingdom

London — post-Brexit talent thin spot.

Director · EM · Senior FDE

What the region is short of

London is still EU's largest AI/Fintech capital pool, but post-Brexit sponsor caps have inflated senior eng salaries and lengthened time-to-hire. Series A teams need EMs who stabilise velocity and reduce burn — not slide-makers.

Specific gaps I solve

  • Sponsor frictionRestricted hiring pools push senior eng salaries up and lengthen pipelines.
  • Manual deliveryHeavy manual deploy cycles and brittle test suites slow TTM vs US peers.
  • Remote leadership churnFew EMs have structured remote coaching — fragmentation follows.

Proof & economic value

8+ yrs co-founding ELO with 97% retention and 3% churn via 1:1 coaching. CI/CD that cut TTM by 300%. Migrated to remote-first in 2020 with 50% productivity boost.

EU core (Paris · Dublin · Amsterdam · Munich · Madrid · Barcelona)

EU — compliance is the bottleneck.

Senior FDE · EM · Product Lead

What the region is short of

EU teams treat GDPR, EU AI Act, VAT, data residency as back-office tax — which freezes velocity. The capital-efficient hires they need are operators who treat compliance as a product surface.

Specific gaps I solve

  • Compliance paralysisGDPR + VAT + data residency frequently delay onboarding flows.
  • Slow startup cyclesStricter labour regs make velocity hires harder than in US peers.
  • Bilingual leadership scarcityMulti-country EU stakeholders need a bridge engineer.

Proof & economic value

Architected Jamahook's Stripe checkout for 15K+ EU users with GDPR + VAT baked into the React/NestJS state. 11 EU client deliveries since 2018. 905-day Duolingo French streak + public A2 grammar channel on YouTube.

Nordics (Oslo · Stockholm)
Nordics (Oslo · Stockholm)

Nordics — premium engineering, scarce senior IC capacity.

EM · Staff Engineer · Senior FDE

What the region is short of

Scandi tech teams pay top-of-band but face a small senior IC pool. They need engineers who can navigate strict labour regs, work in CET, and produce without manager-coder separation.

Specific gaps I solve

  • Senior IC scarcityLimited local senior pool — most scaleups recruit cross-border.
  • Manager/coder splitLeaders rarely ship code. Teams stall waiting for direction.
  • Compliance gravityNordic regulatory rigor (Schrems II, NIS2) overwhelms small teams.

Proof & economic value

Multi-year EU client delivery (Switzerland, UK) via ELO (NDA) — already operating in CET/GMT, including direct European client comms. Cleared Norway's 6+ yr special-qualifications route with 8+ yrs of senior eng management.

Five cities, one shadow — losing seniors to the south.

Product Lead · Senior Product Engineer · Fractional CTO/CPO

What the region is short of

Canadian startups operate in the US tech shadow with capital-constrained budgets, from the Toronto–Ottawa–Montréal east to Vancouver and Calgary in the west. They lose senior engineers to remote-US offers and need versatile product engineers who wear EM, IC, and QA hats simultaneously — plus the fast federal GTS permit and provincial PR routes (BC PNP Tech, Québec Arrima, Alberta AAIP) to land them.

Specific gaps I solve

  • Cross-border brain drainSenior eng talent migrates to remote-US comp.
  • Manager/coder separationEMs who don't ship code force splitting headcount budgets.
  • Coast-to-coast hoursNeed operators fluent across EST → MST → PST business days, not async-only.

Proof & economic value

4+ yrs delivery to AudioBin & SkyTracks (Toronto): Web Audio + WebSocket multiplayer. Lived 6 months in/around Toronto — know the city, the tech community, the commute. Montréal's Arrima route rewards an active 905-day French streak. Currently solo-shipping NewScriber (Milan AI Week 2026 winner) and TagRamp (Bolt 2025 selection).

Japan (Tokyo)

Tokyo — global hiring, English-rising, timezone-perfect.

Senior FDE · EM · Staff Engineer

What the region is short of

Tokyo's giants (Rakuten, Mercari, PayPay, LINE/LY, Woven by Toyota) hire globally and increasingly in English, but face a thin pool of senior engineers who can bridge cultures and ship production AI. The Highly Skilled Professional points visa fast-tracks exactly this profile — and JST is the closest band to Fauzul's base, so the destination-hours promise costs almost nothing.

Specific gaps I solve

  • Senior bridge scarcityFew engineers combine production AI depth with cross-culture delivery.
  • Compliance + scalePayments and commerce at scale need multi-tenant, regulated infra experience.
  • Timezone friction (elsewhere)APAC hiring usually means a hard overlap problem — not here.

Proof & economic value

Multi-tenant payments + commerce (Jamahook, ELO Books) and production LLM systems (NewScriber Go orchestration + Gemini TTS). 8 yrs of cross-border client delivery. JST sits ~3 hours from the current base — the smallest adjustment of any target market.
