Frequently asked questions

What counts as an async Lead/Principal job?

Every Lead/Principal role listed here is fully remote and asynchronous-first: you collaborate mostly in writing, meetings are kept to a minimum, and you're measured on outcomes rather than hours spent online.

Do these roles require set hours or a specific timezone?

Rarely. Async-first teams keep required real-time overlap low or zero, so you can do focused lead/principal work on the schedule that suits you and hand off written updates for teammates to pick up in their own hours.

Where can I apply from?

Each listing shows exactly which countries or regions it's open to — many are worldwide. You apply directly on the hiring company's careers site, which Working Async links you straight to.

How current is this list?

Openings are synced from async-first companies on a regular schedule and expired roles are removed automatically, so this reflects live lead/principal vacancies, newest first.
