Established Remote is a curated list of tech companies that offer remote work opportunities and hire globally.
The project addresses the challenge of identifying legitimate remote-first employers by maintaining a filtered directory of established technology companies where a significant portion of the workforce operates remotely. It defines "established" as companies with at least fifty employees that are either well-funded or profitable, and "tech" as organizations with substantial software development roles. The list explicitly excludes companies that restrict engineering hiring to wealthy nations, making it genuinely useful for job seekers worldwide.
Developers and engineers seeking remote employment should consider this list if they want to identify companies with proven track records in distributed work rather than startups experimenting with remote policies. The list works best for those prioritizing global hiring opportunities and willing to work for established organizations. The project acknowledges the existence of alternative resources, specifically mentioning a separate service that aggregates tens of thousands of remote job postings from multiple sources for those seeking a broader job search tool.
The project maintains an alphabetically ordered list that welcomes community contributions through pull requests. Development activity centers on curation and list maintenance rather than feature development, with the maintainer actively managing submissions to ensure entries meet the stated criteria of establishment and global hiring practices.
