Senior Full Stack Laravel + Vue Developer for United States companies

I'm Ignacio Amat, Senior Full Stack Developer with 5+ years shipping production at scale. I work remote from Barcelona with US startups and corporates: 4 h US-East overlap, async-first, C1 English, B2B contractor or EOR (Deel, Remote, Velocity Global). Prior experience with US clients on Upwork.

Stack: Laravel 11, Vue 3, Livewire, TypeScript, AI-augmented (Claude Code, MCP). 5+ years in production.

Timezone & working mode

CET (UTC+1) → 4 h overlap with US-East (NY/Boston/Atlanta) at 14:00–18:00 ET, equivalent to 20:00–24:00 Madrid. For US-West (SF/LA/Seattle), 1-2 h overlap at start or end of day. Async-first reduces dependence on synchronous overlap.

Contract types

  • B2B contractor — Spanish sole trader invoicing LLC/Inc. in USD
  • US EOR — Deel, Remote, Oyster, Velocity Global, Boundless
  • 1099 contractor (via W-8BEN-E for zero withholding)
  • Full-time remote roles, project contracts or team augmentation

Why hire me from the United States?

For a US company, hiring me as a B2B contractor from Spain removes relocation overhead, visa sponsorship and healthcare/payroll costs. I handle my own tax compliance (W-8BEN-E set up, zero withholding under Spain–US treaty) and deliver with the async culture I already master. My PHP/Laravel + Vue stack is standard across US SaaS.

What I bring to an international team

01

4 h overlap with US-East

CET (UTC+1) covers 14:00–18:00 ET comfortably. For US-West, 1-2 h overlap in ET morning / late evening Spain.

02

LLC-friendly B2B contractor

Spanish sole trader invoicing US LLC/Inc. in USD. W-8BEN-E set up for zero withholding under the Spain–US tax treaty.

Verifiable C1 English

5+ years of daily English meetings with US and UK teams. Clear written communication, English code review, async-first.

04

US EOR available

If the company prefers employment, via Deel, Remote, Oyster, Velocity Global. EOR handles payroll and compliance, I handle Spanish regulation.

the United States market

The United States leads the global remote-first market: scaleups (Stripe, Vercel, HashiCorp, GitLab), corporates with digital product, and distributed SaaS (Automattic, Buffer, Dropbox) demand senior full stack profiles with modern stack and fluent English. The Spain time difference (4-9 h depending on coast) is handled with solid async culture — exactly how I work.

FAQ — the United States companies

Do you work with US startups and corporates?
Yes. C1 English, async-first, 4 h overlap with US-East. I've worked with US clients on Upwork. For permanent roles, B2B or EOR (Deel/Remote/Velocity Global) per preference.
How do you handle the time difference?
Async-first. Written documentation, detailed PRs, decisions logged. Daily syncs in my afternoon / US-East morning. For US-West roles, 1-2 h overlap at start or end of day.
Do you accept USD payments?
Yes. I invoice in USD from Spain as a sole trader, paid via Wise, Mercury or international transfer. W-8BEN-E configured for zero withholding.
What's your rate for US companies?
Indicative range $80–130/h or $130k–180k/year equivalent for full-time via B2B/EOR depending on seniority and stack. Negotiable based on role and duration.
Do you accept equity at US startups?
Yes, when combined with a fair base + ISOs/RSUs with standard vesting (1-year cliff + 4 years). I evaluate stage, 409A, dilution and cap table.
Do you work with typical Silicon Valley stacks (Node, Rails, Go)?
My primary stack is PHP/Laravel + Vue/TypeScript. I have Node, React and Astro in production and ramp fast on adjacent stacks. For Rails/Go, I read and review without friction but they aren't my strength as a driver.
