"Baba is You" destroyed my ego. 10/10 Great game

Do you offer visa sponsorships for US applicants?

There are some US citizens working at BBP. In fact, inside our section we have two people who were previously working in the US.

Even though the process to bring somebody to work in Switzerland is more tedious than for EU citizens, it is duable.

I would still fully recommend to apply if you are willing to relocate, without worrying about the administrative factor.

Yes they do. It makes the process more complex and lengthier though, so they'll most likely focus on Swiss/EU/EEA candidates.

Got it. Thanks!

I really like the design and, of course, the mission! Good luck!

Thank you!

For interest, we also just submitted our annual report to our regulator, if you'd like to read about the first year of our parent charity https://www.kale.charity/reports

How are the developers compensated? Are you all doing this for free? Love the project but interested in the practicalities behind it.

There are currently 3 trustees of the charity, including myself, and no employees. It’s illegal for trustees to be compensated for work relating to the charity. We’re careful to pick problems (and solutions) that we can make and maintain.

I focus on the engineering, my partner focuses on anything design related, and our third trustee manages finances.

We do it because we’re passionate about it, and the legal structure gives us a lot of weight and ability to negotiate reduced rates with services we depend on. It also sets us up to pay other developers, if/when we decide there’s too much for us to do as a team. Folks might want to donate their time as well, but we will need to be mindful of properly compensating people for their time.

Thanks for the response! Sounds interesting. I’ll have to look more into it. I love the idea of building software as a charity
