Seeking US software developers living abroad or planning to move abroad to FIRE

Want to keep your US software career and move your life overseas?
Already living overseas as an expat and looking for work in the US?

I am seeking independent 1099 US software developers for remote work with US clients while living abroad or preparing to relocate abroad.

This is for senior builders, fractional tech leads, founder-level engineers, and product-minded contractors who can own features, communicate clearly with US teams, and ship real product work without heavy supervision.

Requirements:

  • 7+ years of software development experience building and shipping real products in a US-based team environment
  • 2+ years of demonstrable product, feature, or technical ownership
  • 1+ year of AI-assisted development experience using tools such as Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, or similar
  • Able to work as an independent 1099 contractor
  • Able to maintain meaningful overlap with US business hours
  • US Citizenship and a valid US passport

Bonus:

  • Founder, founding engineer, staff/principal, or fractional tech lead experience
  • Prior 1099 contract work with US companies
  • Experience working remotely from outside the US
  • Strong product judgment and client-facing communication

If this matches your background, let's get in touch.
