7 Remote-First Companies That Hire Globally — Including Where You Are (Ep. 24)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Seven companies. Zero geographic restrictions. All hiring globally - and yes, that includes you.
In this episode, I break down seven remote-first companies that are genuinely worth your time as a Caribbean or LATAM professional.
Not companies that "allow" remote work - companies where remote is the foundation.
From the creative-as-a-service world of Superside to the radical salary transparency of Buffer, this is your no-fluff shortlist of employers who have already built the infrastructure to hire you, pay you, and support you across borders.
Key topics covered:
- Why remote-first culture matters more than remote-friendly policy — and how to tell the difference
- Automattic, GitLab, Zapier, Superside, SafetyWing, Remote.com, and Buffer: what each company does and what to expect going in
- Why written English is your competitive advantage — and how to sharpen it before you apply
- Three practical principles for actually landing a role at any of these companies
