With a small, fully remote team of engineers and support staff, Ghost operates at a scale that impacts thousands of independent publications and commercial sites globally.

Ghost's Spain presence consists of a fully remote team, with the company legally operating from the UK but its workforce distributed across several countries, including Spain. The company values a calm, focused, and asynchronous work environment, making it an attractive option for international professionals seeking remote work. For those in Spain, Ghost offers a pathway to join a truly distributed team with competitive compensation, no-fuss culture, clear output expectations, and no insistence on being in an office.

Company History

Ghost launched in 2013 with a successful Kickstarter campaign to create a modern open-source publishing platform. It was initially built by a small team, later adopting a not-for-profit corporate structure and now relies on sales of its paid hosting service to sustain development. The platform has since grown into a widely used system for individual creators, startups, and established media outlets.

For International Professionals

  • The team is fully remote and global, so no relocation is necessary; the company supports remote work from Spain.
  • The company culture is highly independent: they hire engineers who are self-motivated and productive, as stated in their careers page.
  • They value writing and transparent communication, which may require good written English skills.
  • Compensation is location-agnostic, with salaries based on role and experience, not geography.
  • They are a non-profit organization, so profits are reinvested into the product and community.
