U.S. EXPORT ADMINSTRATION REGULATIONS
Ross Video complies with the U.S. Export Administration Regulations, which place limits on sharing certain technologies and source code with individuals from countries under U.S. embargo.
How this impacts our hiring…
As part of this compliance, we must consider a candidate’s citizenship and permanent residency when evaluating eligibility for roles that involve access to specific technologies. Due to these legal restrictions, we’re unfortunately unable to proceed with candidates whose current citizenship or permanent residency is in a country under U.S. embargo (currently Cuba, Iran, Syria, or North Korea).
We appreciate your understanding as we meet these important legal requirements.
