25 Companies That Have Switched to Long-Term Remote Work

Sources checked: October 5, 2026. This is a dated research snapshot, not a live vacancies feed. Company policies and hiring locations can change; the employer’s current job description controls eligibility.

A company’s remote-work announcement is useful only if it still describes how the company hires and operates. Permission to work from home until the end of 2020 does not establish a long-term remote policy. Nor does an old job advertisement prove that the same opportunity remains available.

This directory replaces those pandemic-era announcements with employers whose official careers pages or workplace policies describe remote work today. It includes businesses founded as distributed teams as well as companies that subsequently adopted remote arrangements. They have not all “switched” from office work, and their policies are not identical.

Each entry gives you the working model, the hiring geography supported by the sources reviewed, an official careers link, and a verification date. Where a company does not publish a complete permitted-country list, that gap is stated explicitly.

Use the directory to build an employer shortlist. For opportunities you can apply to now, browse remote jobs on Jobicy and confirm the details on the employer’s application page.

How to read the directory

The entries are not a ranking, and inclusion does not mean that a company currently has a suitable opening for every reader.

Hiring geography needs a separate check. An employee’s country of residence, an employer’s office location, and the countries served by its product are different things. A workforce spread across dozens of countries does not prove that new applicants are eligible in all of them.

Country examples below are drawn from published employer information. They are not exhaustive unless an entry explicitly identifies a published country list. Regional labels such as “Americas” or “EMEA” also need clarification at the individual-job level.

25 employers to research

1. 1Password

• Work model: Remote-first, with intentional in-person collaboration. Expectations vary by role.
• Hiring countries/regions: United States and Canada are named in the remote developer posting reviewed. This is a role-specific example, not a company-wide eligibility list or a guarantee that the vacancy remains open.
• Official careers: 1Password careers.
• Checked: October 5, 2026.

The careers FAQ makes an important distinction: most employees work remotely, but the company does not promise the same attendance arrangement for every position. Confirm both your permitted work location and the role’s in-person expectations.

2. Aha!

• Work model: Fully remote.
• Hiring countries/regions: United States and Canada are listed on the current openings page for the advertised product and UX leadership opportunity. Other roles may have different requirements.
• Official careers: Aha! careers and current openings.
• Checked: October 5, 2026.

Aha! describes itself as an entirely distributed business and includes company gatherings in its working model. Its “work from anywhere” heading should be read alongside the country restrictions attached to the vacancy.

3. Atlassian

• Work model: Distributed work through Team Anywhere, with remote or office options for eligible roles. Some strategic roles have exceptions.
• Hiring countries/regions: Its Team Anywhere page lists Australia, Canada, France, Germany, India, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and the United States as operating countries.
• Official careers: Atlassian careers.
• Checked: October 5, 2026.

The operating-country list is not permission to take any job from any listed country. Atlassian also requires working rights, time-zone compatibility, and leadership approval for the arrangement. Check the vacancy’s designated location.

4. Automattic

• Work model: Distributed remote work, with in-person team meetups.
• Hiring countries/regions: Worldwide recruitment is advertised. The careers page does not provide a complete permitted-country list for every position; confirm eligibility in the application process.
• Official careers: Automattic work with us.
• Checked: October 5, 2026.

Automattic’s remote approach is supported by its current careers page rather than a temporary work-from-home announcement. The page also describes travel for team gatherings, so candidates seeking remote work with no travel should check that requirement early.

5. Buffer

• Work model: Fully remote.
• Hiring countries/regions: Worldwide recruitment is advertised, and the infrastructure vacancy reviewed describes hiring across the world. Confirm any role-specific scheduling or employment restrictions.
• Official careers: Buffer jobs.
• Checked: October 5, 2026.

Buffer’s careers page explicitly describes a fully remote team. It also directs applicants to its own published application forms. Use those links rather than assuming that an unsolicited message represents a genuine Buffer opening.

6. Canonical

• Work model: Remote-first and distributed, with company sprints and potential customer-site travel.
• Hiring countries/regions: International recruitment; eligibility and time-zone coverage depend on the role. The general remote-work policy does not publish a complete permitted-country list.
• Official careers: Canonical careers and remote-work policy.
• Checked: October 5, 2026.

Canonical states that most team members work remotely. It also expects employees to be willing and able to travel for up to two weeks at a time, twice a year. Read any additional customer-facing travel requirements in the vacancy.

7. Close

• Work model: Fully remote, supported by its official recruitment material.
• Hiring countries/regions: United States for the USA-only remote posting reviewed. Do not infer worldwide hiring from the company’s remote team.
• Official careers: Close careers.
• Checked: October 5, 2026.

Close illustrates why the words “100% remote” and “USA only” can appear together. Remote describes where work happens relative to an office; the country label determines which applicants can take that particular role.

8. Deel

• Work model: Work-from-anywhere is the company’s stated careers positioning.
• Hiring countries/regions: Role-specific. A complete company-wide permitted-country list was not published on the careers page reviewed. Use the location field and full description in the relevant opening.
• Official careers: Deel careers.
• Checked: October 5, 2026.

Deel’s global payroll and employment services should not be treated as proof that its own vacancies are open in every country supported by those products. Confirm whether an opportunity is global, regional, or tied to local market expertise.

9. Dropbox

• Work model: Virtual First, combining remote work with intentional in-person collaboration.
• Hiring countries/regions: Reviewed listings include the United States, Canada, Mexico, Ireland, and the United Kingdom. Some US and Canadian roles are restricted to selected locations.
• Official careers: Dropbox careers and official job listings.
• Checked: October 5, 2026.

The Virtual First explanation describes the working approach. It does not override a listing’s geographic restrictions. “Remote — US: select locations” requires a closer check than simply confirming US residence.

10. Elastic

• Work model: Distributed, with both remote employees and people working in offices. Verify the arrangement of each vacancy.
• Hiring countries/regions: Official recruitment pages show country-specific opportunities, including the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France, the Netherlands, and Australia. These are examples, not a universal hiring list.
• Official careers: Elastic careers and recruitment portal.
• Checked: October 5, 2026.

Elastic’s careers page describes both remote and on-site work. Look for an explicitly suitable location and arrangement; the company’s distributed identity alone does not establish that every advertised position can be performed from home.

11. Float

• Work model: Fully remote and asynchronous-first.
• Hiring countries/regions: Recruitment from anywhere is advertised. A complete permitted-country list is not supplied on the general careers page; check the individual opportunity.
• Official careers: Float careers.
• Checked: October 5, 2026.

Float describes a location-independent approach to hiring and an asynchronous working culture. Its careers page also mentions an annual team meetup. Confirm the employment arrangement, any role-specific collaboration needs, and travel expectations before accepting an offer.

12. GitLab

• Work model: All-remote, according to its careers page.
• Hiring countries/regions: Reviewed remote listings name the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Poland, and South Korea. Individual roles offer different subsets of these locations.
• Official careers: GitLab careers and official job board.
• Checked: October 5, 2026.

GitLab’s all-remote identity does not make every position globally available. Some listings name a city without an explicit remote label. Read the full vacancy and confirm the working arrangement rather than extending the company-level description to an ambiguous listing.

13. Grafana Labs

• Work model: Remote-first; its careers page says the vast majority of roles are fully remote.
• Hiring countries/regions: Reviewed remote listings include the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, India, Japan, France, Switzerland, Italy, and Spain.
• Official careers: Grafana Labs careers and official job board.
• Checked: October 5, 2026.

The board is particularly useful because many titles identify both the country and remote status. Some also specify a city, territory, or sales region. That additional qualifier may matter even when the role does not require a regular office commute.

14. Help Scout

• Work model: Remote-first; the openings displayed during this review were labelled 100% remote.
• Hiring countries/regions: United States only for the openings displayed on the careers page at the verification date.
• Official careers: Help Scout careers.
• Checked: October 5, 2026.

Help Scout describes an internationally distributed team, but the vacancies reviewed specified US-only eligibility. Existing employees’ international locations therefore should not be used to assume that a new opening accepts applicants worldwide.

15. Hubstaff

• Work model: Fully remote.
• Hiring countries/regions: Global recruitment is explicitly advertised. Check individual descriptions for coverage hours, contract terms, or other restrictions.
• Official careers: Hubstaff jobs.
• Checked: October 5, 2026.

Hubstaff’s careers page describes a company without a corporate campus and states that it does not geographically limit whom it can hire. Treat that as a company-level recruitment statement, then verify the practical terms of the particular job.

16. n8n

• Work model: Remote-first, with regular offsites.
• Hiring countries/regions: Its careers page describes working from almost anywhere in Europe, the United Kingdom, and sometimes the United States. Individual listings determine the permitted countries.
• Official careers: n8n careers.
• Checked: October 5, 2026.

This is a regional hiring policy, not unrestricted worldwide remote work. The phrase “almost anywhere in Europe” still requires confirmation for your country. Likewise, US availability should be checked on the specific vacancy rather than assumed for every team.

17. Oyster

• Work model: Fully remote, with work-from-anywhere positioning.
• Hiring countries/regions: Worldwide recruitment is advertised. The careers page reviewed does not publish a complete permitted-country list for its own roles.
• Official careers: Oyster careers.
• Checked: October 5, 2026.

Oyster’s employment-platform country coverage and its internal hiring eligibility are separate questions. Start with the careers page and ask about your proposed country of employment if the role does not provide a clear answer.

18. Remote

• Work model: Fully remote and asynchronous, without company offices.
• Hiring countries/regions: Most jobs are described as globally remote. Any country or time-zone restrictions are specified in the “Practicals” section of each advertisement.
• Official careers: Remote careers and openings.
• Checked: October 5, 2026.

Remote explicitly explains that job-board location labels can be used for advertising rather than eligibility. Read the full “Practicals” section before excluding yourself—or assuming that a geographic label gives you permission to apply from anywhere.

19. Shopify

• Work model: Digital by Design: remote daily work with optional use of company Port offices.
• Hiring countries/regions: Reviewed listings include Americas-wide labels and more specific locations such as the United Kingdom, Canada, Japan, India, Singapore, and Hong Kong.
• Official careers: Shopify careers.
• Checked: October 5, 2026.

Shopify’s current careers page supports its remote working approach, but vacancies distinguish regions and locations. “Remote — Americas” does not establish that every country in the region is eligible; confirm the role’s employment and scheduling requirements.

20. Supabase

• Work model: Fully remote and asynchronous, with no company offices.
• Hiring countries/regions: The careers page lists Global, Americas, EMEA, and APAC opportunities, alongside location-specific roles in the United States, United Kingdom, and Singapore.
• Official careers: Supabase careers.
• Checked: October 5, 2026.

Supabase provides a useful example of global and local hiring within the same remote company. Some roles are explicitly tied to London, New York, San Francisco, or Singapore. Match the location field to your circumstances rather than relying only on its global recruitment message.

21. TestGorilla

• Work model: Fully remote.
• Hiring countries/regions: The careers page primarily specifies time-zone bands. Reviewed openings use UTC+0 to UTC+8, or UTC−5 to UTC+3, depending on the role. These are not complete country eligibility lists.
• Official careers: TestGorilla careers.
• Checked: October 5, 2026.

Check both the time-zone requirement and whether the employer can engage you in your country. A compatible clock offset does not, by itself, establish payroll eligibility, work authorization, or an approved employment arrangement.

22. Todoist / Doist

• Work model: Remote, with unrestricted location flexibility described on the current careers page.
• Hiring countries/regions: The page says team members can work from anywhere in the world and that it does not restrict locations. Confirm the contract and practical terms of the advertised role.
• Official careers: Todoist careers. The former Doist careers address redirects here.
• Checked: October 5, 2026.

The page describes location-adjusted salaries and an onboarding arrangement involving in-person coworking with a mentor. Location flexibility should therefore be considered alongside compensation and onboarding expectations.

23. Toggl

• Work model: Fully remote, with team meetups.
• Hiring countries/regions: International recruitment with role-specific time-zone restrictions. The engineering posting reviewed specifies a main location between UTC−4 and UTC+4.
• Official careers: Toggl jobs.
• Checked: October 5, 2026.

Do not treat that one time-zone band as a company-wide rule. Check the requirements of the job you select, including the distinction between where you normally live and any temporary travel you would like to do.

24. Wikimedia Foundation

• Work model: Remote-first, with occasional travel mentioned in remote recruitment material.
• Hiring countries/regions: Its published hiring list covers selected US states and jurisdictions, plus Brazil, Canada, Colombia, France, Germany, Ghana, India, Indonesia, Italy, Kenya, Mexico, Morocco, the Netherlands, Poland, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.
• Official careers: Wikimedia Foundation jobs and hiring locations.
• Checked: October 5, 2026.

Check the full US list rather than assuming nationwide eligibility. The page also states that Kenya and Singapore hiring is restricted to citizens or permanent residents, and that non-US employees must have current work authorization in their location.

25. Zapier

• Work model: Remote-first, with a fully remote working environment and in-person events described on the careers page.
• Hiring countries/regions: Role-specific. A complete permitted-country list is not published on the general careers page reviewed; check each opening’s location and eligibility requirements.
• Official careers: Zapier jobs.
• Checked: October 5, 2026.

Zapier’s “join us from anywhere” positioning should not replace a vacancy-level eligibility check. Some official job pages found during research had already-passed application deadlines, so those pages are not presented here as current openings.

Turn the directory into a practical shortlist

Start with location eligibility. There is little value in tailoring a detailed application for a US-only role if you live elsewhere and the employer does not support your location.

Use Jobicy’s location directory to focus your search, including dedicated pages for remote jobs in Canada and remote jobs in Europe. These regional pages help you discover opportunities; the full job description still determines eligibility.

Next, choose employers that match the work you want to do. A remote policy is one useful criterion, but responsibilities, seniority, compensation, management, and career development matter too. You can explore Jobicy’s company directory for additional employer research and published vacancies.

For each promising role, record:

• The official vacancy URL and application deadline, if stated.
• Your eligible country, state, or region.
• Required working hours and time-zone overlap.
• Office attendance, onboarding, meetup, and travel expectations.
• Employment or contractor status and any stated work-authorization requirements.
• The date you last checked the vacancy.

A manageable shortlist gives you room to read these details and prepare a relevant application. Keep company research separate from vacancy tracking: you can be interested in an employer even when it has no suitable job available.

Questions to ask before accepting a remote role

“Is this remote?” is only the starting question. Ask what the arrangement means in practice:

1. Can I perform this role from my country of residence? Get a clear answer about the actual position, not just the company’s general policy.
2. Is regular office attendance required? Clarify the location and frequency, and distinguish it from occasional team gatherings.
3. What hours must overlap with the team? An asynchronous culture may still include meetings, coverage windows, or fixed shifts.
4. What travel is expected? Ask about onboarding, offsites, and customer visits, including who pays.
5. What happens if I move? Approval to work from one country does not automatically transfer to another.
6. Where is the arrangement documented? Review the offer, contract, and applicable policy before relying on verbal assurances.

Frequently asked questions

Are these companies permanently remote?

The official sources reviewed support remote work at the verification date. That is evidence of a current operating approach, not a guarantee that a policy can never change. Some entries support remote and office work, and others make exceptions for particular roles.

Does a fully remote company hire worldwide?

Sometimes, but not automatically. Help Scout’s reviewed openings were US-only, while other employers explicitly advertise global recruitment. Always check country eligibility separately from remote status.

Are all 25 companies hiring right now?

This directory does not promise an active opening at every employer. Official careers pages are the place to check current availability. An accessible individual job page may still be expired, closed, or awaiting removal.

Why are some country lists marked as unpublished?

Because a broad recruitment slogan does not establish a complete list of legally and operationally supported work locations. Stating that the list is unavailable is more useful than guessing. Ask the employer about your location when the vacancy leaves it unclear.

Why has the original list changed?

The earlier article relied heavily on temporary pandemic-era arrangements and historical job examples. This version uses current official employer material and includes companies built for distributed work as well as employers that adopted it later.

A useful employer directory should help you identify a realistic next step: a company worth researching, a role that fits your skills, and a working arrangement available where you live. Start with the official careers link, confirm the vacancy, and apply only after the location and work requirements are clear.
