Freelance Full-Stack Web App Developer

Freelance Full-Stack Developer at Mindrift - Remote — Chicago This role is essentially a digital nomad's dream setup. It's a fully async, part-time freelance contract with no stated timezone requirements, meaning you can work from Lisbon, Bangkok, or Medellín without any scheduling friction. The 10–20 hours/week commitment gives you the freedom to stack multiple income streams or simply keep travel days flexible. Compensation context: At up to $35/hour, a 15‑hour average week yields roughly $2,100–$2,800/month gross. Consider how this stacks up in popular nomad hubs: Lisbon, Portugal: Comfortable monthly budget ~€1,800–€2,500 — this income covers it, especially with the D8 Digital Nomad Visa available for non‑EU residents. Bangkok, Thailand: Monthly budget ~$1,200–$1,800 — leaves meaningful savings; Thailand's LTR Visa or a simple tourist visa rotation works well. Medellín, Colombia: Monthly budget ~$1,000–$1,500 — excellent value; Colombia offers a digital nomad visa valid up to 2 years. The role requires only a laptop and stable internet — no hardware stipend is mentioned, so factor in co‑working costs (~$100–$200/month in most cities). Since this is a global open role with no country restrictions stated, visa limitations are primarily determined by your own nationality. The part‑time nature also means you can maintain residency ties in your home country more easily while traveling.
