Description
After living in multiple countries around the world and working remotely, I discovered that the best working cultures are asynchronous ones. An asynchronous working culture is a model where team members collaborate and complete tasks on their own schedules, without needing to be online at the same time or respond instantly. This means employees can work when and where they please for maximum productivity, often times companies who have succesfully implemented async communication have teams with employees across the globe.I created a job board dedicated to curating these types of jobs because I strongly believe that async communication will be a standard for many job types in the future. You can check out the site here: https://workingasync.ioRight now there are over 400 jobs listed (including roles from companies like DuckDuckGo, GitLab, and Docker). I’m planning to add new features over the coming weeks, and have update the blog regularly.Feedback is very welcome!
