13 remote tech companies with four-day workweeks that are hiring now

You’ve heard of remote-only work. You’ve heard of the four-day workweek. Wouldn’t it be something to have a job that involves both?

The good news is that it can be done. And the challenging news is that there’s not an endless supply of positions where you get to work from home Monday through Thursday.

That being said, I spent some time searching for companies that are currently hiring and meet the following criteria:

Remote first: Either everyone’s remote or you’re not expected to go to an office
Based in the U.S.: To make the hiring process a bit more seamless
Four days means four days: A true 32 hours each week, not 40 hours crammed into four days and not just “summer hours” or rotating schedules
Tech companies: You’re in Fast Company’s tech section, after all

Who’s hiring?

After a couple of hours of searching, slicing, parsing, and filtering— including using spreadsheet software, which is one of my least favorite activities—I whittled the list down to a whopping . . . well, 13 companies.

They are, in alphabetical order:

These companies have open positions as of February 21, 2023, so my apologies if they’re no longer hiring by the time you get to them.

Aside from sharing a four-day workweek ethos, there’s a common theme of work-life balance, generous vacation days, and other quality-of-life perks that might mean these positions get snatched up quickly.

Other resources

A tip of the cap to this enormous list by Henry O’Loughlin over at Buildremote, which features careers in a broader selection of countries, on-site jobs, and jobs with 40-hour weeks crammed into four days, among others.

There’s also a great job site called 4dayweek.io that’s worth checking periodically. It, too, serves up four-day jobs from around the world, some or which aren’t fully remote.

Good luck and enjoy your free Fridays!
