Yes. Bitwarden is a fully distributed, all-remote company. Team members work from home across many US states and more than 14 countries, with no in-office requirement.
Roles are region-scoped rather than open worldwide. Bitwarden posts positions for the US, the United Kingdom, and the broader EMEA region. US roles have no time-zone preference but do not include visa sponsorship, so you need to already be authorized to work in the role's region.
Benefits include a company-provided computer plus up to $500 in home office reimbursement, 401(k) contributions, 20 days of flexible time off with 11 flexible holidays (an extra week of vacation kicks in after four years), and $500 a year for skill development. In the US, medical, dental, and vision premiums are covered; internationally, benefits are calculated into pay.
For US roles, yes. Bitwarden discloses a base salary range on individual job postings, noting actual pay varies by level, experience, and location. Compensation outside the US is not published on postings because it differs by market.
People who value working in the open. Because the codebase is open source and development is community-driven, Bitwarden suits engineers and other roles comfortable with public scrutiny, security-first thinking, and self-directed work on a distributed team that spans time zones.
