Enjoy!

And we went from spam to scam. Whoa, that was quick!

Thanks for your input, need to bring them on the list then.

Update: So actually they're mentioning profit sharing in their job ads:

(`We offer exceptional benefits - e.g., Fantastic health care, Unlimited PTO, 100% 401k match, profit-sharing, and exceptional healthcare plans.`).

I'll update the label as I'm treating both profit sharing, and equity sharing as the same things.

Good one, thanks. Will add tonight.

It's totally subjective

The market is pretty tough nowadays, so it might be some of them stopped hiring in Europe.

Anyways, will re-check them one-by-one tonight. Thanks!

Whenever I was offered to work through Remote.com or Deel it was forcing me to be employed in their local branch as an employee. Which made the whole thing more complicated (higher taxation than on the direct B2B contract, etc.) and not so lucrative anymore.

The repo contains just a list of the companies with useful details about them.

Ofc, if you want to get the jobs straight into your inbox, you have to subscribe. These job notifications go beyond that list so it's worth it, IMO.

Thanks, noted down! The list does have a few of the consultancies in there. I'll include thoughtbot as well.

The biggest problem with the agencies I see, is about keeping up with their tech stack.

No worries, thanks for your input!
rafalbel··on Show HN: Repo with a list of 80 decent companies hiring remotely in Europe
Thanks, will double-check

Technically speaking it's just a bunch of links, always direct links to the specific roles on the companies' job boards.

Few example positions from the last DevOps issue:

Senior Site Reliability Engineer (at Atlassian)

Senior Solutions Consultant (at Cloudera)

Senior Solutions Architect - DV Cleared (at Cloudera)

Senior Solutions Architect (at Cloudera)

Senior Site Reliability Engineer (at commercetools)

Senior Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) (at Cribl)

Senior Engineer (Tech Lead, OSS Committer) (at Eukarya)

Site Reliability Engineer (at Expensify)

etc.

And it's not 100+ jobs in a single message, ofc. Every stack is sent separately. The number of 100+ is what you got when you filter out US-only / on-site positions.

rafalbel··on Show HN: Repo with a list of 80 decent companies hiring remotely in Europe
Yep, this is also one of the conditions.

Forgot about that one you've mentioned though. Another one to get rid of.

Have to admit, it's sometimes hard to check. One of the companies I was interviewing with, pretended to make sports software. Later on it was just pure gambling.

rafalbel··on Show HN: Repo with a list of 80 decent companies hiring remotely in Europe
Fair point, I wanted to avoid big tech. Forgot about that one, TBH
rafalbel··on Show HN: Repo with a list of 80 decent companies hiring remotely in Europe
True, not every company is hiring actively at the moment. But having basic info (tech stack, etc.) you're able to take a chance anyways.

BTW Feel free to subscribe to the job alerts. Every email is going beyond that companies list. Sending the next batch tomorrow.

Is it a product company?

For now, the list is focused around product-based companies (while having few of the consultancies included, too).

I think it all boils down to having the remote working mode treated as a first-class citizen.
rafalbel··on Show HN: I send 100 remote jobs for Europeans every week
Hey, the job market seems to be still pretty tough. I was in search myself a couple of months ago so I know how it feels.

To help myself out back then, I created a small tool. It sends out only decent remote jobs available for Europeans.

Pick your stack, enter the email and you'll get one weekly message with the carefully chosen jobs. Quality over the quantity.

I'll send the next batch of jobs in a couple of hours from now, feel free to check it out.

If you don't want to subscribe, you can browse around the companies listed there, you can also pick your favorite tech stack.

Hey there! I'm looking for the next project. I've got 6+ years of experience working with start-ups of different sizes (early stage, bootstrapped, VC-backed). Big fan of the iterative, step-by-step approach. Introduced good practices & brought calmness to the teams I was part of.

Typically, I wear multiple different hats. Working mostly on the back-end side of things but I'm capable of jumping into other areas if needed (infra / front-end / hybrid mobile).

rafalbel··on I am done. I give up
Could you show us your products please?

Maybe other indie hackers are not the best audience for your stuff, and you're just digging in the wrong place.

rafalbel··on Show HN: Detailed list of remote companies hiring in Europe
European Remote is an alternative for most of the US-centric directories out there. It's focused on the details essential for the tech crowd, without the fluff. The aim is to help you to find a new team directly, without middlemen.

Also, I'm launching the job alerts feature soon, feel free to subscribe!

rafalbel··on Ask HN: How can I calculate my market value?
Central European fellow here. If you have a few years of experience under your belt and a tolerable English level there's no point you should continue working like this.

Consider going remote for foreign companies, you can easily double that rate.

rafalbel··on What would be your choice for setting up a new SaaS project for 2022?
Use your boring stack.
rafalbel··on Keep a Log
I can relate to that. Without my notes I'd be lost. Always trying to keep them simple and, if required, to make it accessible to others, to avoid creating tribal knowledge.
