Ask HN: What notable companies offer remote employment?

7 points by aswin8728 12 years ago | 10 comments

I know the Wikimedia Foundation and Mozilla have remote jobs, but are there other companies that allow telecommute?

My company, probably like many, has remote work positions only because of the merit of candidates who applied for them. They hire local (Chicago) when they can but my team is in Austin because that's where we have found the skillset.

Depends on what your skills are. Most of the popular blog websites have a team of writers working remotely. Then there are the design, development and SEO types who have a lot of remote work.

I have only had remote jobs for the past 5 years (two jobs at two different companies on the opposite side of the country).

I found both of them on craigslist (and many more..that either I turned down the offer..or they didn't hire me)..maybe you can look here?
