Remote Founding Engineer Jobs
Remote founding engineer roles split into two camps: companies that are remote-first by design (often Europe-anchored), and US companies that hire remote because the right candidate isn't in the Bay Area. Compensation tends to come in 5–15% below the equivalent SF on-site offer, but with a wider candidate pool the bar is high. Most listings expect demonstrable shipping history (open source, side projects, prior 0-to-1 work). Async communication is the default; synchronous-only teams tend not to advertise as remote-first.
