Remote work at Valve?

Are there people at Valve who are remote working either from the US or from other countries?

This interview[www.thegamer.com], e. g., is a bit dated (closer to the peak of COVID concerns), but points toward “yes.”

Yes. Even before covid.

So I guess that anything that is more software-related can be worked from home but anything physical would need to be worked in the office. Interesting.

How do you know it was the case before COVID?

Sorry for double post, but I need to get attention for the next question.

Do they hire only US residents or can they sometimes hire people from other countries like Canada?

If you want to apply for a job at Valve, start here: https://www.valvesoftware.com/en/

This is a user forum. Nobody here can give any definitive answers.

that man works for steam he is the number 1 reply to topics all over the forum, don't doubt for he second he doesn't, he will declare himself as just a user but his topic post history speaks otherwise.

he will quickly jump on new created forums threads and be the first to reply and offer assistance, he is a pretty decent person aside from trying to keep his work relationship with steam a secret.

but thats really half the fun of steam you can't believe anything you see and most of its a lie, sometimes its better to have the filter on and believe what they tell you because the truth is far more a dirty empty room then a glamorious hotel.

Does highlight his point nicely about liars. Just a very long winded confession

I would not work for Valve. The pay is terrible.

What does this have to do with the topic?!

If he was working for Steam, wouldn't he be tagged as a developer?

For a Canadian, the salary would be awesome as 1$USD is worth more than 1$CDN. For instance, a 150k$USD salary would be equivalent to a 200k$CDN salary. That would be a dream job for any Canadian game developer... if you fit with Valve's culture.
