Remote tech jobs in Portugal 🇵🇹

Introduction

This is a repository listing companies which offer full-time remote jobs with Portuguese 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 Portugal, 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 a significant amount of resources to find a remote job, but none targeting people living in Portugal. The number of companies allowing remote work in Portugal 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

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

A completely Portuguese company that hires in Portugal with regular, non self-employed contracts people living in Portugal
A foreign company, with a Portuguese legal entity to be able to hire people living in Portugal, using regular, non self-employed contracts
A foreign company, using an intermediary to hire people living in Portugal, but the contract must also be Portuguese, 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). Recommendations:

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. 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 Portuguese 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/Lisbon).

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.
