Remote developers do not have to only work on contract, sometimes better roles are available on a long-term\u00a0basis, or permanent employment which may be more practical as an arrangement or for career progression than contracting.<\/p>\n

Here are a set of terms for permanent remote development I have sent to a prospective employer.\u00a0 Of course, any such deal must benefit both parties and an employer wants stability and to build a team.\u00a0 This sometimes works, although our sprint basis for contracting works better, for some developers this may not be appropriate.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The main thing with perm roles is that I would need to be able to maintain my IP in my own projects in my company without difficulty. I do not want to throw away years of work or be obliged to assign it to an employer – so contract roles obviously are better for me. I worked out to successfully replace my daily rate with a livable solution a perm role would have to fulfil certain criteria: \u00a3XXk annual, the right to maintain my existing web business development ideas (which are cloud hosted) and clients (a small handful – really not much work – mainly support these days – but only in my own time!)<\/p>\n

A two-year employment contract with mutually flexible terms would seem appropriate – when I take on an assignment – I take it very seriously. The opportunity to progress to be able to do significant time in remote development on company projects is also important as my partner has a house in Italy.<\/p>\n

The other thing is simply the tech stack has to be progressive for me and my technical path needs to be good for the employer. Laravel and VueJS\/Angular and\/or GOlang, and\/or NodeJS are areas of interest.<\/p>\n

It needs to be a proper Agile environment and\/or CI. I am happy to introduce modern methodologies to the company or act as a Lead or Second Lead or Solo developer with some dev ops responsibility. Lastly, it needs to be a role that I love or a company that means something to me.<\/p>\n

I hope this clarifies. I do believe there are good contract opportunities in the market right now. And you never know – if you specify what you want there may be an opportunity for it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
