Dublin
Dublin is the EMEA HQ city for US tech — Stripe, Intercom, Workday and Meta run large engineering orgs with mature CSEP pipelines and same-day filing infrastructure. The shared UK/IE timezone means zero adjustment cost, and the Critical Skills route reaches Stamp 4 (no permit needed) after two years.

What your team owns to relocate Fauzul to Dublin
Your filing runs on the EPOS portal at enterprise.gov.ie, and CSEP is exempt from the Labour Market Needs Test — no four-week ad. The one number that governs everything is the no-degree experience tier of €68,911, which Fauzul's band clears.
Open or own the EPOS employer account, issue a job offer mapped to the Critical Skills occupation, and attest salary above the experience tier. Trusted Partner status, if you hold it, drops processing to a few days.

Relocation support to line up
- →IRP / immigration registration and a PPS number after arrival
- →A pointer to initial housing and help opening an Irish bank account
- →Shared UK/IE timezone — zero working-hours adjustment
Family & dependants
Spouse and children join, with a dependant route to work; the CSEP holder reaches Stamp 4 — no permit needed — after two years.
What trips sponsorship up
- ✕Filing against the €40,904 degree tier by mistake — the no-degree route sits at €68,911
- ✕Not using Trusted Partner status when filing volume would justify the faster track
- ✕A job description not mapped cleanly to the Critical Skills occupation
Dublin shares Fauzul's existing EU client timezone, making it the lowest-adjustment relocation on the board — he intends to be onsite fast and the route reaches visa-free Stamp 4 in two years.
The numbers that make the Dublin case before a single interview.
What lands in the first quarter
- →Scale cross-border payments + multi-tenant SaaS — the Jamahook checkout + ELO multi-tenancy parallel.
- →Ship customer-facing AI agents with product taste, not just code (NewScriber orchestration).
- →Run platform teams as a hands-on EM — ELO's remote-first scaling + CI/CD discipline already proven.
Where the demand is
Tap any sector to ask who's hiring and how Fauzul fits.
Cross-border payments and multi-tenant SaaS. Direct parallel to Jamahook checkout + ELO multi-tenancy work.
Customer-facing AI products need engineers with both code chops and product taste. NewScriber agentic orchestration is the proof.
Large eng orgs need EMs with hands-on technical chops. ELO's remote-first team scaling and CI/CD discipline check both boxes.
No-code security automation overlaps with the agentic workflow patterns Fauzul ships daily.
Pick the route — and we file
Two doors into Ireland. The recommended one is built for Fauzul's profile; the alternative is there if speed or an accredited employer favours it.
