Due to regulatory and security reasons, there’s a small number of countries where we cannot have Fingerprint teammates based. Because Fingerprint is an all‑remote company and people can join our workforce from almost any country, we do not sponsor visas. Fingerprint teammates need to be authorized to work from their home location.
