Introduction

This is a repository listing companies which offer full-time remote jobs with Spanish contracts

Why

When considering a remote job, it's natural to think that you can work for any company in the world. However, if you live in Spain, working for companies abroad means becoming self-employed, which has several drawbacks:

  • Your employer can end your contract at any time
  • You need to do extra paperwork compared to a regular full-time job
  • There is no clear legal framework. Apparently it is not OK to be self-employed and work for a single Spanish company. There seems to be no clear messaging from the government that doing the same for a foreign company is OK

There is a significant amount of resources to find a remote job, but we have found none targeting people living in Spain. As we believe that the number of companies allowing remote work in Spain are limited, a list seems a good approach for those seeking a remote work; they can simply go through the list and look for open positions.

Conditions

Remote

We will only list companies which allow working fully remotely (e.g. you can work from anywhere in Spain and you do not have to set foot in an office if you don't want to). Some occasional travelling for onboarding, team building or similar purposes is fine. Also the companies must also hire people using Spanish full-time contracts (i.e. not self-employment). For example, the following scenarios are OK:

  • A completely Spanish company that hires in Spain with regular, non self-employed contracts people living in Spain
  • A foreign company, with a Spanish legal entity to be able to hire people living in Spain, using regular, non self-employed contracts
  • A foreign company, using an intermediary to hire people living in Spain, but the contract must also be Spanish, not requiring self-employment.

Offers

Please provide a stable URL which lists all offers that meet the conditions for being listed in this page (or a simple way to filter/locate them).

We recommend:

  • Not using an URL or page that seems to be for a specific offer (e.g. /blog/backend_python_dev). People browsing the list might not feel confident that the offer is still available and up to date
  • Showing clearly when offers were posted
  • Highlight clearly which offers fulfill the criteria for this listing or that all offers do. For instance, indicate clearly which offers are remote, etc.

Adding a company

If you are a company or an individual, send a PR which adds the company to the list (in alphabetical order). Try to be brief to keep the list manageable.

The GitHub "edit file" button automates the process of forking and submitting a PR.

Please make a note in the offer if:

  • You have specific travel requirements (monthly onsites, etc.) which happen more than 3 times a year
  • You require language knowledge other than Spanish and/or medium English

or anything you feel might be important to users of the list, especially if this is not clearly stated in the offers in your listings.

Tag your offer with:

  • (All offers are remote) if the job listing does not offer any indication that all offers are remote, nor marks clearly remote offers, but all jobs are remote.
  • (All technical offers are remote) if the job listing does not offer any indication that all offers are remote, nor marks clearly remote offers, but all technical offers are remote.
  • (View individual job offers to check for remote) if the job listing does not offer any indication that all offers are remote, nor marks clearly remote offers, so you need to check individual offers to see if the position is remote.
  • (Async friendly)/(Async first) if you do not have specific availability requirements. This is especially interesting for workers who might be interested in working on a different schedule or timezone. You can also add details like (Preferred overlap of 3 hours with US Eastern office hours), (Night shift every 4 weeks), (4 day week), or (Requires availability 8-9 Europe/Madrid).

Support

It is our objective for this list to remain useful and effective for job searchers. If you use this list and notice that a company listed below is no longer useful (broken URL, not clearly listing remote offers which fulfill the criteria for the listing, etc.), please send a PR removing it (along with a justification) or open an issue.

Their #hiring-job-board Slack channel is an automated channel where people and companies post job offers. Those with the Remote tag are truly remote, however some offers might be for freelancers/contractors.

The following sites list remote jobs. Some offers list explicitly Spain, which likely mean hiring with permanent contracts in Spain. However, offers that do not show a location, or that list many countries, are likely freelancing roles.

You can search for legal entities in Spain using tools like https://opendata.registradores.org/directorio. This might give you some clues whether a company offers a Spanish contract. However:

  • A company offering Spanish contracts might do so under a third party or the legal entity might not match the company name in the offer.
  • Even if a company has a Spanish legal entity, they might still not offer Spanish contracts.
