I think this is a very interesting point. Why is the WMF so dependent on being able to hire staff in one location?
A quick scan of the staff page shows more than 60 "international" employees. (A fair number of employees are also inside the US but not in SF.) Some teams, like Technical Collaboration and Technical Operations, have lots of remote employees. Some, like HR and Finance and Administration, do not (probably not a huge surprise).
The WMF still has plenty of work to do on this front, but I think they're moving in the right direction: almost all of the currently open jobs at the WMF include "remote" as an option.
