Which remote roles are hiring
Software engineering has the most openings, with 2,127 roles (20% of the board), followed by Sales & partnerships with 1,325. Roles are grouped by the words in their job title, so a “Data Engineer” counts as data and an “Engineering Manager” as software engineering.
| Role family | Open roles | Share | Open worldwide |

The level companies hire at
Remote hiring leans senior. 48% of open roles are senior, lead, manager or director positions, against 3% for interns and junior or entry-level staff. If you are early in your career, filter the board for those titles and expect more competition for each one.
| Level in the job title | Open roles | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Intern | 38 | 0% |
| Junior or entry level | 250 | 2% |
| No level in title | 5,151 | 50% |
| Senior | 1,798 | 17% |
| Lead, staff or principal | 1,156 | 11% |
| Manager | 1,336 | 13% |
| Director and above | 652 | 6% |
Experience asked for
54% of listings give a minimum number of years. Of those, 55% ask for five years or more. A stated minimum is usually a guide rather than a hard rule, but it tells you which level the company has in mind.
| Minimum experience | Open roles |
|---|---|
| 0–2 years | 1,269 |
| 3–4 years | 1,261 |
| 5–7 years | 1,912 |
| 8 years or more | 1,136 |
| Not stated | 4,803 |
Full-time, contract or part-time
| Job type | Open roles | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Full-time | 5,284 | 51% |
| Not stated | 3,472 | 33% |
| Contract or freelance | 1,095 | 11% |
| Part-time | 446 | 4% |
| Temporary | 55 | 1% |
| Internship | 29 | 0% |
“Not stated” means the company’s own posting does not say. Contract roles are often the easiest to take from abroad, because the company pays you as a business rather than putting you on its payroll in its own country.
Where applicants can live
“Remote” rarely means “anywhere”. Most remote roles can only be done from the country where the company already employs people; United States leads with 3,568 roles. Roles open worldwide are the ones to look at first if you live outside the big hiring countries. We track them separately for applicants in Nepal.
| Applicants must live in | Open roles | Share |
|---|---|---|
| United States | 3,568 | 34% |
| Not stated | 2,649 | 26% |
| Worldwide | 1,415 | 14% |
| United Kingdom | 677 | 7% |
| Canada | 470 | 5% |
| India | 296 | 3% |
| Brazil | 167 | 2% |
| Europe or EMEA (several countries) | 151 | 1% |

How we count
- Source. Open roles collected from employers’ own career pages (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby and Workable boards). A role leaves the count when the company takes it down. Listings from partner job boards are not included.
- Role family and level come from keywords in the job title. Titles with no recognisable family are counted as “Other roles”.
- Where applicants can live comes from the location the company gives for applicants, or the job’s region when no applicant location is given. “Not stated” means neither names a country or region we recognise.
- Published in the last seven days uses the date the company published the role when its board gives one, and otherwise the date we first found it.
