What “remote at a Swiss company” actually means

Francs. Fully.

Most roles are on a Swiss employment contract, not a freelance workaround. Salary in CHF. AHV and Pillar 2 keep ticking. The payroll system you already understand keeps running. No “equivalent compensation” footnotes. No shell-company-in-Portugal math. The few that are contractor or freelance setups say so on the listing.

Your laptop, your coordinates.

Bali in February. A Medellín sublet in June. Madeira because a friend has a spare room. Bern because your mother still lives there. The contract doesn’t care.

Every role sets its own hours of availability. Some teams want heavy overlap with the Swiss schedule, some don’t care at all. Check the listing.

Remote-first by default.

Fully remote and remote-friendly roles are the defaults here. Hybrid listings are one filter click away, tagged honestly. Every role shows its actual policy, not a marketing label.

Why not just use LinkedIn?

LinkedIn shows you “remote jobs in Zurich.” What that usually means: mostly roles that want you in the office three days a week, plus a handful of San Francisco startups that don’t realize Switzerland exists.

Remotli only lists remote-first roles from Swiss employers. The kind where “remote” is written into the contract, not the kind that changes the moment a new CEO arrives.

Frequently asked

Do I need to be Swiss to apply for jobs on Remotli?
No. You need the right to work in Switzerland: Swiss citizens, EU/EFTA nationals with a B or C permit, or anyone with valid Swiss work authorisation.
Can I actually work from abroad on a Swiss employment contract?
Yes, within limits. Under the EU-Switzerland telework framework, an employee resident in a participating EU/EFTA country can perform up to 49.9% of their working time from their country of residence without changing the social-security regime. Outside EU/EFTA, Switzerland has bilateral agreements with around 50 countries (US, Canada, Japan, India, UK, others) that cover specific cases. Most Swiss employers also set their own day limits per year. The exact rules depend on tax residency, social security, and the employer's permanent-establishment risk.

Can I keep a Swiss paycheck while working remotely from abroad?
Within limits, yes. On a Swiss employment contract the paycheck stays in CHF and AHV and pension contributions stay Swiss while you work abroad temporarily: up to 49.9% of working time from an EU/EFTA country of residence under the telework framework, or whatever annual work-from-abroad allowance your employer sets. Move your tax residency abroad permanently and the setup changes completely.

Which Swiss companies hire fully remote?
A growing set. Remotli tracks Swiss companies that operate fully remote, with no office requirement, alongside remote-first international employers that hire from Switzerland, and verifies each policy before listing. The companies directory shows every tracked company with its verified work mode: fully remote, remote friendly, hybrid, or workation.

Where do Swiss remote workers actually go?
The most common destinations among Swiss remote workers are Lisbon, Madeira, Barcelona, Bali, Chiang Mai, Mexico City, Medellín, Cape Town, and Buenos Aires. The picks balance Swiss-passport visa days, timezone overlap with Zurich, monthly cost in CHF, and reliable wifi. The Guide tracks 17 destinations with full numbers for each.

What tools do I need to actually work remote from abroad?
The minimum stack: a Swiss bank that doesn't lose money on FX (Wise, Revolut, Neon), an eSIM for day-one connectivity (Airalo, Saily, Holafly), a co-working membership where you're going, and a VPN for banking from abroad. The Guide lists 65 tools across banking, connectivity, productivity, community, tax, and travel.

How often is the job board updated?
Daily. New roles are scraped automatically from Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable, and Recruitee. Stale listings are archived when they disappear from the source ATS.
Can I get notified when new matching roles appear?
Yes. Save any filtered search to get email alerts for new matches (daily or weekly). Or subscribe to the bi-weekly digest for a curated round-up of new roles.
Where does the salary data come from?
Directly from the listing. We show what the company actually disclosed. We do not estimate, average, or fill in guesses.
What if my company doesn't use one of the supported ATSes?
You can post directly via Post a Job. Standard listings are auto-sourced from supported ATSes during the launch programme. That's free for now and won't be free forever. Featured (CHF 149) and Premium (CHF 299) are available to any company regardless of ATS, and that paid model is where the board is heading long-term.
How quickly does a paid listing go live?
Within seconds of Stripe payment. The webhook publishes the listing, sends a confirmation email with a self-edit link, and the role appears on the homepage and the relevant category and city pages.
