Sanctioned developers cannot receive international payments for remote work
Software engineers in Iran face a critical barrier to earning income: international payment platforms and banking systems are blocked due to sanctions, making it impossible to receive payments from remote employers even when they secure jobs. Current solutions like traditional freelance platforms, PayPal, and Stripe either don't operate in Iran or reject Iranian users, leaving talented developers unable to monetize their skills despite having global job opportunities.
