Senior Frontend Engineer at Phantom - Remote Web3 — Columbus
Traveler-Friendly Insight
Phantom is fully remote with flexible hours — a strong signal for async-friendly work. There are no stated timezone restrictions, which makes this role genuinely accessible to digital nomads traveling across LATAM, Europe, or Asia. The explicit mention of a "long-standing, supportive remote environment" suggests this isn't a recent pivot to remote, but an embedded culture.
Visa considerations: Phantom hires across the US, Canada, Europe, and LATAM. If you're a non-US citizen working remotely, popular options include Portugal's D8 Digital Nomad Visa, Spain's Digital Nomad Visa, or Colombia's Digital Nomad Visa — all viable for earning USD remotely. US citizens can leverage tourist visas in most nomad hubs for shorter stays.
Cost of living vs. salary ($180K–$220K USD):
- Lisbon, Portugal: ~$2,500–$3,500/month comfortable — this salary offers exceptional purchasing power.
- Bangkok, Thailand: ~$1,500–$2,500/month — extremely favorable ratio; popular crypto community present.
- Medellín, Colombia: ~$1,500–$2,000/month — LATAM eligibility aligns perfectly; strong nomad infrastructure.
Travel-relevant perks include a WFH/remote setup stipend (laptop, headphones, gear) which can offset nomad gear costs, plus unlimited PTO to extend trips. No coworking or meetup budget is explicitly mentioned, but the wellness benefit may cover some of those costs.
