Show HN: Repo with a list of 80 decent companies hiring remotely in Europe
Tech-stack included
- uoaei 3y agoWhat, pray tell, does "decent" mean in this context?
- rafalbel 3y agoI think it all boils down to having the remote working mode treated as a first-class citizen.
- tokai 3y agoMeans they made the list. Oracle is on it, so decent can't be used in the popular sense here.
- throwaway290 3y agoJudging by the list it probably means "not gambling/crypto/laundering" so pretty good filter. Edit: nope, has got some online casino stuff in there. Ew...
- rafalbel 3y agoYep, 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.

- dorianmariefr 3y agoYou can add thoughtbot
- rafalbel 3y agoIs it a product company? For now, the list is focused around product-based companies (while having few of the consultancies included, too).
- dorianmariefr 3y agoNo it’s a consultancy
- rafalbel 3y agoThanks, 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.
- cornholio 3y agoI always wondered why US companies are almost universally interested only in Remote/US candidates when there are millions of qualified world-wide applicants ready to work remotely on US hours. There exists companies that act employers of record allowing you to hire remote workers all over the world, and other than the internet connection lag, there should be no impact for a remote employee. There must be some untapped business opportunity / startup potential here, US companies are limiting themselves to a small pool of applicants for no apparent reason. Is it because of the cultural differences they perceive? Are the existing EOR services lacking in some regard?
- DoingIsLearning 3y agoMost probably the hassle/liability of messing up taxes. If you are hiring someone abroad the simplest way still is to hire it out as contract work.
- dorianmariefr 3y agoremote.com makes it easy
- DoingIsLearning 3y agoTrue but you still need a willing employer on the receiving end.
- rafalbel 3y agoWhenever 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.
- kahnclusions 3y agoThat’s the point. You’re employed locally and do work for the remote company. If you don’t want to work as an employee, then you can enter into a contracting relationship, but employers tend to avoid this because there’s always the risk that the local government determines the contractor is actually an employee and taxes are owed.
- Olphs 3y ago"hiring", checked like 20 companies, and only found one that was actually hiring
- rafalbel 3y agoTrue, 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.
- mtmail 3y agoIs the "Show HN: I send 100 remote jobs for Europeans every week" claim from last week realistic or does it also include companies currently not hiring?
- rafalbel 3y agoTechnically 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.
- hkt 3y agoI love this concept but also find it hard to believe the Linux foundation (currently only posting US based roles) will do remuneration in equity..!
- rafalbel 3y agoThanks, will double-check
- rafalbel 3y agoUpdate: 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.
- ricardobayes 3y agoI don't know about the truthfulness of this list though, checked three randomly and none of them were hiring in Europe.
- rafalbel 3y agoThe 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!

- jenscow 3y agoMaybe you should focus more on the right to being silent.
- chillbill 3y agoWell, while the "right to be silent" is a classic, I'm all for embracing the modern twist with the "right to be forgotten." After all, who wouldn't want a little digital spring cleaning?
- kitanata 3y agoNah. My next step is talking to senators and exposing how everyone here is training on everyone’s data without their permission. I’m going to take away your toys. We have the right to say no, and walk away from the algorithm. All of us have that right. Trapping anyone against their will on a forum, when they have withdrawn consent to their data is evil. Anyone who supports that it evil. You have a right to your data. You have a right to delete your data. You have a right to be forgotten.
- AnimalMuppet 3y agoFor someone worried about your comments being permanent, you sure are commenting here a lot.
- kitanata 3y agoSeems a bit perverse, doesn’t it? I have a right to have my data deleted from this platform. Hacker News has repeatedly refused to delete my comment history from the site. We have a right to erasure.
- bityard 3y agoOne good way to get your comments deleted and your account banned is to spam the same copy/paste rhetoric to three stories in a row.
- radhika_coder 3y agoThis is exactly people are looking forward to.
- rafalbel 3y agoEnjoy!
- chillbill 3y agoThey're not posting actual jobs, you need your email to send you stuff. This is spam.
- rafalbel 3y agoThe 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.
- popey 3y ago“Decent” companies? By what measure?
- rafalbel 3y agoIt's totally subjective
- irgeek 3y agoYou can add GitGuardian - https://careers.gitguardian.com/jobs https://careers.gitguardian.com/jobs
- rafalbel 3y agoGood one, thanks. Will add tonight.
- higeorge13 3y agoChartmogul.com is a european remote company.
- rafalbel 3y agoThanks for your input, need to bring them on the list then.
