Remote tech jobs with stock options
Where to find remote tech roles that still meaningfully grant equity.
Equity grants on remote offers compressed in 2023-2024 and have partially recovered since. The companies that still grant meaningful equity remotely cluster in identifiable categories.
## Pre-IPO scale-ups
Series B through F companies remain the strongest source of meaningful equity grants for remote engineers. Senior equity grants at this stage typically vest over four years.
## Public companies
RSU grants at remote-friendly public companies are real income. Senior grants commonly cluster between 100 and 400 thousand USD per year vesting over four years.
## Startups
Pre-seed and seed equity grants for remote employees are typically too small to value meaningfully despite percentage figures.
## Verification
Always verify the strike price, total options outstanding, and current preferred share price before treating an equity grant as material compensation.
