Many people do this. You must pay US tax. You will not be gateway eligible and will have to get to and from your base on your own dime. However, once you arrive in the states they will buy you a ticket to your base. You may have some luck getting them to alternate travel you from home directly to base, but it’s completely their discretion.
I know of one who lives in NRT based in anchorage. Easy commute on a company jet. I know one in HKG, which would also make ANC easy. I know two living in Austria. They try to bid on work starting and ending in europe.
