FYI for 2. the “compliant with US labor and tax laws” part isn’t going to happen how you think. If overseas developers use unlicensed stuff or break a US NDA, the blame will still fall on you. Foreign citizens aren’t bound by US laws, so you would need to contact a lawyer in the foreign country to figure out how to cover your bases.

Not trying to advise against it, just laying out the liability explanation that a lawyer told me.

Think about it the other way around - if you were a contractor for some business in Poland, it’s not like you would be worrying about being dragged into a Polish lawsuit in the same way as you are in the US.
