Where to Search for Remote Jobs?

I used this when looking and think it needs to be shared wider. Everyone should feel free to contribute! (Not mine btw I found it during my last job hunt)

I've been working remotely for nearly 10 years now and I think it's a mistake to look for "remote" jobs. If you've got a strong skillset then most developer roles can be remote. If a company allows developers to work from home some days (which is most these days) then full remote is just a point of negotiation. I usually try to be as flexible as possible, offer to spend a couple of weeks on site in the beginning to get to know people (I prefer this actually) and make it clear that I can come over if there's team days and that sort of thing.

This has definitely gotten far easier over the last couple of years and I think post covid the trend will accelerate.

In a few hours you will see lots of fresh job postings here: https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=whoishiring

I.e. the monthly HN hiring threads. Some of the offerings will probably be for remote positions.

You will also be able to submit a “looking for a job” post there.

Yea, I'm really digging working from home. I'm nervous my employer, who I am otherwise happy with, will force me back into the office full time in a couple of months.

It actually has me considering looking around for a "true" FT remote position. If this is a permanent paradigm shift, I'd really prefer to NOT live close to any major city.

LinkedIn Glassdoor Indeed Stack Overflow Jobs (https://stackoverflow.com/jobs) Remote Ok (https://remoteok.io/)

Not sure what kind of roles you are looking for but for some particular technologies there are specific job posting platforms like Elixir Jobs (https://elixirjobs.net/)

These links come up a lot and work well.

On my last remote job hunt I have tried to find a job through the listings on different remote-first job boards but as many have already pointed out the number of applications is just too high and you might be turned down because you are asking for too much money compared to other devs.

Here's what I did instead -> Go on Linkedin, hit the search, filter to "Content" and use phrases like: "Looking for software developer", "Looking for your domain of expertise person", you get the idea. You will be able to find a dozen of fresh listings every other day from recruiters, hiring managers or even CTO's. The goal is to get to the job offer before it gets posted.

The technique worked very well for me as I've approached a hiring manager this way and got a job offer days later.

The limitation to this is the size of your Linkedin network since it searches just up to the 3rd degree connection deep.

A good alternative is Twitter where you could use the same approach but I haven't tried it much myself.

Best of luck!

I’ve heard that toptal (https://www.toptal.com/) is a good place to start, because you can get paid decently and you get in touch with serious employers.

I don’t have experience with them nor am I affiliated to them, so to take with a grain of salt.

On a similar thread these two where mentioned

https://weworkremotely.com/

https://remoteok.io/

I've found my last two jobs through stackoverflow. They have a filter for remote. https://stackoverflow.com/jobs?r=true

I think https://freshremote.work hasn't been mentioned here yet. It's a bit of a newer site, but covers all kinds of remote positions worldwide with a clean and fast interface. Also provides keyword, category and region filters to narrow down a job search.

So probably not gonna be the most popular answer here but: LinkedIn. A lot of companies have hiring needs still and are remote only and decided remote will now be at least part of the strategy going forward, if not embracing it completely.

As someone who seeks out remote positions exclusively, now more than ever, you'll be able to find remote work.

Try the dedicated remote work job boards, but also check your standard job listing companies, too.

Besides 'HN Who is hiring' I'm looking at aggregators

Also, you can find remote jobs in those decent list of companies https://www.levels.fyi/still-hiring/

In late 2020–2021 — just about anywhere :)
