Remote work is no longer a perk — it is how many of the world's best companies operate. Whether you are a software engineer, designer, marketer, or customer success specialist, there are established companies hiring remote workers across every time zone. Here are the top 10 companies offering remote jobs in 2025, along with what makes each one stand out.

1. GitLab

GitLab is one of the largest fully remote companies in the world, with over 2,000 team members across 65+ countries. They have been remote since day one and wrote the book on it — literally. Their public Remote Work Handbook is one of the most comprehensive resources on building a remote-first culture.

Why it stands out: GitLab provides a $1,500 home office stipend, co-working space reimbursement, and transparent compensation adjusted for location. Their async-first communication culture means you are never expected to be online at specific hours.

The company behind WordPress.com, WooCommerce, Tumblr, and other major web platforms. Automattic has been distributed since its founding in 2005, with over 1,900 employees in 90+ countries.

Why it stands out: Automattic provides a $3,000 home office setup budget for new hires and a co-working allowance. They famously have no set work hours and evaluate performance purely on output. Annual company meetups (Grand Meetups) bring the whole team together in person.

3. Zapier

Zapier, the automation platform connecting 6,000+ apps, is fully remote with team members in 40+ countries. They are known for a strong culture of documentation and written communication.

4. Shopify

Shopify declared itself “digital by default” in 2020 and has since built one of the most sophisticated remote work infrastructures in e-commerce. With over 10,000 employees, they prove that large-scale remote work is not just possible — it can accelerate growth.

Why it stands out: $1,000 home office stipend, flexible hours, and a focus on asynchronous communication. Shopify also offers access to physical office spaces for those who want them, creating a true hybrid model where remote is the default.

Buffer, the social media management tool, is a pioneer of remote work and radical transparency. They publish their salaries, revenue, and even equity formula publicly. With a team of around 80 spread across 15+ countries, they are small but deeply committed to remote culture.

Why it stands out: Four-day work weeks, transparent salaries, profit sharing, and one of the most thoughtful approaches to remote team culture. Buffer also provides a home office and co-working stipend plus annual team retreats.

7. Doist

The company behind Todoist and Twist has been remote since 2007 with team members in 35+ countries. Doist is one of the most intentional companies when it comes to async-first work — their own product, Twist, was built specifically as an alternative to Slack's real-time messaging model.

Why it stands out: 40-day minimum PTO, no mandatory meetings, and a deep commitment to sustainable work. Doist believes that great work happens when people have long, uninterrupted blocks of focus time — and they structure everything around that principle.

10. Airbnb

Airbnb's “Live and Work Anywhere” policy allows employees to work from 170+ countries without a change in compensation. CEO Brian Chesky has been one of the most vocal advocates for flexible work arrangements among major tech leaders.

Why it stands out: No salary reduction for relocating, quarterly in-person gatherings, and the unique perk of Airbnb travel credits. Employees can move between locations freely while keeping their role and pay, making it one of the most nomad-friendly large employers.

How to Land a Remote Job at These Companies

Competition for remote roles at top companies is fierce. Here is how to stand out:

• Build a strong online presence: A portfolio, GitHub profile, or blog showcasing your work is often more valuable than a resume.
• Demonstrate async communication skills: Remote companies value clear, concise written communication. Your application itself is a test of this.
• Show self-motivation: Highlight projects you completed independently, side projects, or open-source contributions that demonstrate you can deliver without constant supervision.
• Invest in your setup: Having a professional workspace signals that you take remote work seriously. A reliable internet connection, proper audio/video for calls, and an ergonomic setup are not optional at this level.

If you are based in Bali or planning to work remotely from the island, Monis can help you build a professional home office with rental monitors, ergonomic chairs, and Starlink internet — everything you need to compete for and excel in top-tier remote roles.

The remote job market in 2025 is thriving. These ten companies represent the gold standard of distributed work — offering not just flexibility, but genuine investment in their remote employees' success. Whether you are looking for your first remote role or upgrading to a company with a stronger remote culture, the opportunities have never been better.
