FarAwayJob was born out of frustration — too many job boards, too little signal. We built the platform we wished existed when we were searching.
FarAwayJob started with a simple question: why is it so hard for PHP and Java developers to find quality roles in Ireland?
We were developers ourselves. We spent weeks wading through generic job boards filled with outdated listings, inaccurate salaries, and roles that had nothing to do with our skill sets. We deserved better.
So in 2021, we launched FarAwayJob — a focused, curated portal dedicated exclusively to software developer roles. No recruitment spam. No irrelevant listings. Just real, vetted PHP and Java positions from companies that actually want to hire.
Today, FarAwayJob has placed over 18,000 developers into roles across Ireland, the UK, and remotely across Europe. We're proud to be the first stop for serious developers looking for their next career move.
— The FarAwayJob Team, Street 1, Ireland
Founded in Ireland with a simple mission: build a better job board for PHP and Java developers. Our first month saw 50 listings and 200 registered developers.
Word spread quickly among Ireland's tech community. We hit 500 partner companies and expanded our listing quality verification process. Developer satisfaction scores hit 4.7/5.
We expanded beyond Ireland to include fully remote roles across Europe, and launched our skill-based matching engine — reducing irrelevant applications by 60%.
FarAwayJob celebrated its 10,000th successful developer placement. The platform now hosts 850+ verified employers and 2,400+ live job listings at any given time.
With 18,000+ placements, a 94% match success rate, and a 12-day average time to offer, FarAwayJob is the trusted platform for serious PHP and Java developers in Ireland.
These principles guide every decision we make at FarAwayJob.
We only list jobs that are verified, accurately described, and genuinely open. Quality over quantity, always.
Remote work has no borders. We champion flexible and remote-first roles for developers everywhere.
Salaries published upfront. No "competitive" cop-outs. Developers deserve to know what they're worth.
Our 12-day average time to offer isn't luck — it's by design. We optimise every step of the hiring process.
