Can I work remotely for a US company from the UK?

On 22 October 2026, 3,035 of the 42,920 remote jobs listed on Remotejobify (7%) were open to people in the UK. How we check.

Yes, if the job is open to the UK, but most US remote jobs aren’t. Today about 1 in 3 of the 42,920 remote jobs we read only hire people in the US, while 3,035 (7%) are open to people in the UK.

How to tell if a US company will hire you from the UK

Read the location and the description. “US only”, “must be based in the US”, “authorised to work in the United States” or a US state means no.
“UK”, “Europe”, “EMEA”, “worldwide” or “anywhere” in the location means yes.
Many US companies hire people abroad as contractors, or through a company that employs you for them. The listing or the first call will say which.
Or skip the checking: every job on Remotejobify has been read this way, and shows the line that proves it’s open to you.

How we counted

We read each remote job from the company’s own job board and work out who it’s open to. A job counts as open to the UK if it names it, a region that includes it, or says you can work from anywhere. These numbers are from today’s list and change as jobs open and close.
