I’m an enthusiastic advocate of remote-first employment for workers who prefer it.
To help you find remote-first employers, I created this list. I’ll add to it over time and delete any employer who stops supporting remote employment. To be included here, the employer must be fully remote or remote-first, meaning most employees can work from home. This list does not include hybrid employers who expect most employees to come into the office every week, so if you discover one of these employers has switched to a mostly hybrid model, please contact me so I can remove them.
Please use this list at your own risk. I recommend you research each employer as I don’t know the details about them, just that they advertised their commitment to remote-first work.
