Its an aggregator which means its probably not perfect as its looking for keywords or something.
It’s trivial to run these posts through LLMs these days and filter out jobs that aren’t fully remote. Pure Laziness.

Never forget that taxing and social systems in Europe work very different and that's why you can get by with "lower" incomes.
Its so sad that companies arn't ok with a simple US llc wrapper. EU people can deal with their own taxes the possible tax savings are well worth the extra paper work for an EU worker so i'm sure they would be willing. But HR compliance people are so risk averse they don't want to see any non standard candidates.
Several companies have been taking this approach recently, requiring you to set up a "small one-person business" (replace with whatever it's called in your specific EU country) which is a long and costly bureaucratic process so that you can pay a shit-ton of taxes while getting less net salary than if they would just pay the taxes for you (like any other EU employer). They give you 0.75x the money they themselves would spend to employ you while covering the taxes, tell you to deal with it yourself, and wrap it in cellophane with "hey but you're saving so much on the taxes!". Of course completely ignoring that you, the employee living in your EU country, are the one who actually benefits from them.
I feel like there's a huge disconnect between salaries, job titles, and years of experience. 6/7 years experience and you're eligible for a staff software developer position at $500K a year? I've got 15 and still on 5 figures / year. In Euros, sure, but there's a huge disconnect there. I find it weird that these companies don't have more offices in Europe, given they can easily out-compete any local companies on sala…
> have more offices in Europe
This has been hashed a million times:
1. Time zones 2. Lack of candidates building FAANG scale systems 3. Employment laws are hostile to employers
That being said, I have seen a lot of recruitment in Poland lately. It may not be glamorous though as people in Poland are expected to work with some amount of overlap with US time zones, so you are going to have to be working until 9pm most days.
Cool! I had recently built something similar https://listofremotejobs.com because I was similarly frustrated. Uses gpt-4 to parse locations but still a bit noisy.
What will you do about ghost jobs? For example I see Microsoft has a bunch of generic software engineer roles listed, despite them just doing huge layoffs. If they were actually hiring they could have easily shifted existing workers into those. These aren't highly specialized roles.
Sometimes, companies shift engineers whenever they can before layoffs, and sometimes, they let go folks to rehire or hire back folks that were laid off if rehire proves difficult. I am not sure why companies do this but have seem it happens.
This looks neat. If there was a way to contribute (such as doing a PR to some repo with a new file in some integrations folder) I'd be happy to help extend it
You should probably add sort and search

Just sort by column in the table and leave search to the browser would go a long way.

One good news is that US remote companies have been expanding to Europe, which will drive up salaries there over time to attract top talents. Gergely Orosz's Trimodal Nature of Tech Compensation in the US, UK and India has info on top paying companies in UK: https://newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/trimodal
Yeah, but the expansion is usually only in a handful of places like the Dublin, Amsterdam, Warsaw and that's about it. There really isn't a remote for Europe.
For some of these reasons, it might explain why while there is remote job in US or Canada or Mexico, there is no remote job for North America, the continent for these 3 countries. This might help explain why there isn't a remote job for Europe as it is a continent.
Haven't said this, it seems to be a great advantage for companies who can overcome the challenge and offer remote for Europe if it is an appealing offer.
SWE? i thought it is a site only for swedes remotedev would be a better name
> SWE (Software Engineer) vs. Dev (Developer)
> SWE: Typically more formal; often implies engineering discipline like system design, scalability, testing. Broader + deeper in scope
> Dev: Informal short form of “developer”; can refer to any kind of coder. More general or casual.
> "Software Engineer (SWE)" → Signals higher-quality, well-compensated roles, especially to experienced professionals. Many top-paying U.S. companies prefer this title.
