Everything you need to know about 4-day week jobs

We currently list 946 open engineering roles at companies committed to a 4-day work week or an equivalent reduced schedule with full pay. Roles span entry-level through to senior and staff positions. New roles are added daily as employers open positions — the count above reflects live listings only, with expired or filled roles removed within a day. Use the filter panel to narrow by seniority, location, or specific schedule type.

Employers hiring for engineering roles on this page include Airbnb, ClickHouse, and Klaviyo. The mix skews toward companies that have publicly published their schedule policy — often software, consulting, and progressive product organisations. Every company on 4dayweek.io goes through a review process before their roles are listed, so the schedule policy on the listing matches what's offered at the job offer stage.

Companies listed here commit to full salary parity — engineering pay on a reduced-hours schedule should match what you'd earn at a traditional 5-day employer of comparable size. Specific ranges vary by seniority (entry, mid, senior, lead, staff) and location. Expand any listing above to see the exact salary band; many employers publish these openly. If you see a role missing a salary range, that's usually because the employer shares it on application rather than publicly.

Yes — many engineering professionals negotiate reduced hours successfully. The strongest positioning is to propose a time-bounded trial (3–6 months), point to the UK 4-day-week pilot results (92% of companies continued post-trial), and commit to delivering the same output measured against specific outcomes. Frame it as a productivity experiment rather than a perk request. If your employer declines, the companies listed on this page already operate this way — applying sideways is often faster than a long negotiation.

The split varies by role but tech-heavy engineering functions (engineering, data, design) tend to be remote-first, while sales and customer-facing roles lean hybrid. Filter the list above by 'Remote' in the sidebar to narrow to fully-remote listings only. Note that 'remote-friendly' on 4dayweek.io means the employer has publicly committed to hiring remote — not just that they allow occasional work-from-home days.
