Thanks for the question, Tomasz, and for the answer,
Dan. :)
That's right - it's built into the form. I'm told it can't be removed.
Candidates based outside the U.S. are very welcome to apply! I'd guess that
the question may be relevant for some folks in the U.S., for instance
international students who do not have a work visa.
Best,
Maggie

The work authorisation question is a standard one included in job
postings,
irrespective of work location. I would assume
there are no issues with
candidates based outside the United States applying, especially since all
the new positions are advertised as "San Francisco, CA or Remote".
