Traveler-Friendly Insight

This role at Remote is about as nomad-friendly as it gets — the company's entire operating model is built around location-independence and async work. There are no fixed office hours and no required timezone, which means you can genuinely work from Lisbon, Bangkok, or Medellín without friction.

Timezone practicalities: The role covers the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland), so your prospects will be in CET/CEST (UTC+1/+2). While async is the internal culture, client-facing sales calls will realistically anchor you to European business hours — early mornings from Southeast Asia or late evenings from the Americas. Nomads in Eastern Europe, Africa, or the Middle East will have the easiest alignment.

Salary vs. cost of living:

  • Lisbon, Portugal: €110k–€150k goes very far — comfortable living costs ~€2,000–2,500/month, leaving substantial savings potential.
  • Bangkok, Thailand: Even more favorable; monthly costs ~€1,200–1,800 for a quality lifestyle. The UTC+7 gap is the main challenge for DACH calls.
  • Medellín, Colombia: ~€1,000–1,500/month; UTC-5 makes CET overlap difficult — early afternoon locally aligns with European close of business.

Travel-relevant perks: Remote provides a coworking space budget, home office/IT equipment allowance, and flexible PTO — all ideal for nomads who rotate bases frequently. German fluency is required, so EU digital nomad visas (Portugal's D8, Spain's, Germany's Freiberufler) are worth exploring for longer stays.
