This isn't true anymore. We switched to allowing and supporting permanent remote work (writing this from Seattle).

I applied the other month for a job that mentioned SFO or remote, then halfway through the signup it stated that they were allowing folks to work remote until COVID was better, then wanted folks to be onsite, and then prompted for a yes/no if I was willing to move to SFO at a later date. Didn't get a chance to talk to anyone and expect it was because of this, so is a bit disappointing.

That's weird. Do you have a link to the job posting?

I believe it was this one: https://discord.com/jobs/4004051002
I see a couple of Storage Engineer job links below, I should apply to one of those too... :)

Ah yeah, just tested it and it says "IF APPLICABLE, WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO RELOCATE TO DISCORD'S SF HQ? WHILE DISCORD IS EMBRACING A HYBRID REMOTE APPROACH GOING FORWARD, SOME ROLES WILL REMAIN HQ-BASED."
It is not applicable for that role. It is not applicable for most (maybe all) engineering roles.
