Dublin
Dublin is the EMEA HQ city for US tech — Stripe, Intercom, Workday and Meta run large engineering orgs with mature CSEP pipelines and same-day filing infrastructure. The shared UK/IE timezone means zero adjustment cost, and the Critical Skills route reaches Stamp 4 (no permit needed) after two years.

The numbers that make the Dublin case before a single interview.
What lands in the first quarter
- →Scale cross-border payments + multi-tenant SaaS — the Jamahook checkout + ELO multi-tenancy parallel.
- →Ship customer-facing AI agents with product taste, not just code (NewScriber orchestration).
- →Run platform teams as a hands-on EM — ELO retention + CI/CD discipline already proven.
Where the demand is
Tap any sector to ask who's hiring and how Fauzul fits.
Cross-border payments and multi-tenant SaaS. Direct parallel to Jamahook checkout + ELO multi-tenancy work.
Customer-facing AI products need engineers with both code chops and product taste. NewScriber agentic orchestration is the proof.
Large eng orgs need EMs with hands-on technical chops. ELO retention numbers and CI/CD discipline check both boxes.
No-code security automation overlaps with the agentic workflow patterns Fauzul ships daily.
