I maintain a GitHub repo of companies that hire remote devs: https://github.com/nmajor25/companies-hiring-remote-devs . Could give you some additional sources for your job board.

This is awesome, I might use that list in the future! I used HN's "Who is Hiring" as a starting point and added more jobs from the companies that posted there.

You can see the list of companies here: https://remotefriendly.com/companies/

Job boards need to focus on signals and data that matters. - remote definition plus remote where? Not everyone is US based. Timezones may be important - salary currency, benefits, rays, bonus, etc. Salary based on geo or wherever you are? - tell me about culture without a team ping pong photo - why is the company worth applying to, what's the growth rate and funding, how long in business - leadership info and views t…

- Business sector (so I can filter out every crypto/NFT shop) - Tech Stack - as searchable data, with "mandatory" requirements included. "Senior Software Engineer" means nothing if it's in a language I have never worked as a senior with, and just wastes everyones time (and also for some reason they put these requirements at the end of the descriptions).

I'm working on adding a tags field to list key info like tech stack/tools and will make it searchable.

The salary ranges are very misleading, unfortunately. For example, posthog will only pay 120k gbp for a senior full stack in London, while they’ll pay 220k usd for the same role in Seattle. Ramp also doesn’t pay 200k+ for roles based in EU.

I don't get this pay disparity between Europe and the US. It's totally crazy to me as someone who has lived and worked in both the States and Denmark (and citizen of both). We work the same hours. If you're in a major metropolis you're paying the same amount of money for food, a home, etc. You're getting taxed at a much higher rate, on average, in Europe.

Why do we put up with this? I think EU employees should just say we will take the same pay you're paying your US employees or we won't take the offer. Giving in to the insane expectation is what keeps us underpaid to our US counterparts.

Looks great, I love the minimalistic design! Would it be possible to provide a filter which enables you to list jobs that do not have a physical location requirement? For instance, if I live in Sweden, how can I see which remote jobs I am eligible to apply for?

As someone from a third world country, I had this problem with other remote job boards too. I was disappointed when they say remote but only in certain location.

I created a Github repo to aggregate and curate location independent remote jobs. I hope it can be helpful to you also.
