Senior Magento Engineer - Remote Global via Lemon.io — Columbus
Traveler-Friendly Insight
Highly nomad-compatible: This Lemon.io Senior Magento Engineer role is one of the most travel-friendly arrangements available. The platform explicitly offers async work with only a small timezone overlap required, and there are no screen trackers or micromanagement — a strong signal for location-independent professionals.
Timezone flexibility: Since clients are primarily US and European-based, a small overlap with those hours is preferred. Nomads in Lisbon (UTC+0/+1), Medellín (UTC-5), or Bangkok (UTC+7) would generally need to be available for a few hours of overlap, but the rest of the workday is yours to manage freely.
Cost-of-living context: Lemon.io doesn't publish fixed rates, but Senior Magento contractors typically earn $60–$100+/hr on platforms like this. At even $60/hr full-time, that's ~$120k/year — very comfortable in Lisbon (~$2,500/mo), Medellín (~$1,500/mo), or Bangkok (~$1,800/mo), leaving substantial savings potential.
Visa considerations:
- Portugal's Digital Nomad Visa suits EU-adjacent contractors earning this level.
- Colombia's Digital Nomad Visa is straightforward for non-Colombian residents.
- Thailand's LTR Visa (Long-Term Resident) targets remote workers earning $40k+ annually.
Note: Lemon.io does not provide visa assistance. As a contractor, you are responsible for your own tax and immigration arrangements. The 75+ country talent pool means most nationalities are welcome to apply.
Lemon.io helps companies in the US and Europe hire experienced engineers, from funded startups to teams like Klarna, Retool, and Pinterest. We've been doing this since 2015, and more than 1,500 companies have hired engineers through us.
New roles for Senior Magento Engineers come in all the time, and several are open right now.
Two ways to work with clients
- Contract: most roles are contract-based. You join the client's team and work as part of it.
- Direct hire: some clients hire engineers full-time, and we support you through the process.
Because companies trust our vetting, applying through Lemon.io is often a shortcut. You get to the client faster than going through their full hiring process on your own.
What you get
- Competitive rate, based on your seniority and skills
- We find the projects. No client hunting or rate negotiations. We match you manually based on your skills and preferences.
- Flexible schedule. Work async or with a small overlap with the team's hours.
- No micromanagement, no screen trackers
- Direct work with clients, most of them with technical backgrounds
- Ongoing support from your application through every project, plus a community of engineers from 75+ countries
Who we're looking for
Senior Magento Developers with:
- 3+ years of commercial experience with Magento

- You own problems end-to-end: you spot the issue, design and build the solution, and ship it to production
- You can show the business impact of your work with concrete results (e.g., faster processing, lower costs, more users, fewer incidents)
- Advanced English: you discuss business tasks, explain your decisions, raise issues early, and present yourself and your results well on client calls
- You work full-time remotely and deliver without supervision
- You onboard quickly and start shipping in your first weeks
