List of places to find remote jobs and freelancing projects
- ryannevius 8y agoWhat criteria were used to rank these as "best"? I personally see some on the list that aggregate high-quality jobs in small quantities (e.g. WeWorkRemotely), and then others that have variable-quality jobs in very high quantities (e.g. UpWork).
- DoreenMichele 8y agoAs far as I can tell, the title is "Remote jobs and gigs platforms." I see no indication they were ranked. Correct me if I'm wrong.
- pankmahar 8y agoYou're right.
- ryannevius 8y agoThe original title of this post (and the document) was "List of best places to find remote jobs"
- hjek 8y agoIs it possible to get a HTML or plaintext version for people who don't just run any non-free JS[1]? [1]: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/javascript-trap.html https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/javascript-trap.html
- LinuxBender 8y agoI would also like a text or plain html version of the list.
- nqzero 8y agowould you be willing to pay for a proxy service that took a url that used non-free JS and rendered it to pure dom that you could then view without JS ? any sense of whether other people that care about such things would be willing to pay ?
- softawre 8y agoisn't that close to what Reader Mode does?
- kukabynd 8y agoThese questions don’t work. http://momtestbook.com http://momtestbook.com
- hjek 8y agoInteresting idea, but I don't think anyone would pay for it. From a freedom perspective it would probably be considered SaaSS[0]. You could use wkhtmltopdf[1] for a service like that.

- danShumway 8y agoWhy not, I've been meaning to work on my vim macros. https://gist.github.com/danShumway/2c4cc6916ff8ed4d941ec64b55b2e850 https://gist.github.com/danShumway/2c4cc6916ff8ed4d941ec64b5... No guarantee that this is up to date[1] (or even error free). I realize that Github Gists are also not Open Source, but they render without Javascript enabled, and Simplenote was acting up for me and wouldn't let me publish.

- hjek 8y agoThanks. (Viewable without non-free JS is fine)
- mavdi 8y agoNo need for this really. whoishiring.io aggregates most of these already.
- mrleinad 8y agoIs there a way to filter for only remote positions there? EDIT: Yeah, there's a big switch there, didn't see it before asking. Thanks
- nqzero 8y agoyou're not even close to correct searching whoishiring for java with a filter of contract returns exactly 1 result in the usa. the same search on just upwork gives 120 results, and there are 80 other sites listed the list is very much needed
- jherg 8y agoRemotely, a job board for the remote workforce on iOS https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/remotely-job-search/id1349523816 https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/remotely-job-search/id134952...
- danmaz74 8y agoI've just started looking at the remote jobs market, as finding a remote position could be very useful in my current situation (ie, ready to leave my current position - which will require some time to find a replacement and for the handover - and to move abroad). But it looks like most of the good offers are only for US/Canada based people. Does anybody have good experiences with finding well paid, technical remote jobs here in Europe? How did you find that?
- vasco 8y agoI found my job through StackOverflow jobs filtering by "Remote". Now I work for Hotjar, and we hire mostly in Europe timezones (although also some in North America). I'm specially interested in a DevOps/SRE type person to join my team, but we have other openings too.
- ilogik 8y agoI applied two times at HotJar in the past few months, without success. Can't say I'm a fan of the video part of the interview process.
- softawre 8y agoWhat is the video part like? For a full remote position, you'd think video chat would be a common thing.
- mmikeff 8y agoFor me the video part of the process involved recording a video about 6 minutes long where I had to answer 5 questions to camera and send that video in, there wasn't a video conference part (at least not for me). After that was a telephone interview, I didn't get any further than that.
- tmoravec 8y agoYes, I recently got a remote job in Europe through https://www.remotepython.com/ https://www.remotepython.com/ . We're currently running a campaign on StackOverflow, too.
- hobonumber1 8y agoI made a website to help with this: https://www.remotejoblists.com https://www.remotejoblists.com It only shows remote jobs, and you can search by selecting certain categories that youre interested in.
- gingericha 8y agoYour filters seem to be getting stripped when you use the pagination making it impossible for a user to see all possible positions tagged in a specific category. (ie - clicking design lists 51 jobs but as soon as you go to page 2 it's now put you at page 2 of all possible (1100+) jobs. Resetting the filter still only shows you the first page of the job listings). Additionally, if you change the filter the jobs section seems to be automatically updating but your pagination isn't. (ie - click media, it lists 171 jobs, navigate to page two (which resets your filters) and then click the backend filter tag. Your pagination now says you're on page 2 of all possible backend jobs.

- mmikeff 8y agoThis is a great list, thanks. I also made a site for this, but rather than aggregating the various job boards I'm trying to track down the companies themselves that hire remotely and aggregate the postings on their own sites: https://www.mikesremotelist.com https://www.mikesremotelist.com
- valuearb 8y agoI'd like to give a thumbs up to both AngelList and my favorite former co-worker. When things went south at our workplace, a coworker and I were kvetching about how hard it would be to find a good job locally, and how great it would be to work remote. But I had no clue how to get started with finding good remote jobs, and didn't do anything other than distribute my resume to local positions. Instead she went through AngelList open jobs looking specifically for remote positions. She immediately got an interview, but midway through it she told them she was under-qualified for what they needed, and told them, "But I know someone who would be perfect for you", and a few weeks later they hired me. I'm very humbly grateful to her for changing my life immensely for the better. And the even better news is she got her own remote job, again through AngelList, a couple weeks later. Not only did we both get substantial raises, but more importantly we are getting to work on much more interesting projects and on teams that are really supportive of us.
- aantix 8y agoIf there's a job you find interesting, you can always ask the recruiter if remote is an option (even if it's not explicitly listed). Most companies are on some sort of chat system, so making it work and is becoming less and less of an issue. Most places will flat out say no, but every once in a while a recruiter responds "let me check" and there's your opening.. I've written up details on how to do this in a couple of threads : https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16747283 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16747283 "How to Get a Remote Job, Even When Remote Isn’t Advertised" https://medium.com/@aantix/how-to-get-a-remote-job-even-when-remote-isnt-advertised-286f955264a0 https://medium.com/@aantix/how-to-get-a-remote-job-even-when...
- johnvanommen 8y agoThis is right on the money. I think the 'trick' to getting a satisfying remote position is to use WFH as a bargaining chip. For instance, I was living in Seattle and I wanted to live in Portland, where it's more affordable. When I started WFH, I traded a pay cut for the opportunity to WFH. It all worked out; my place in Oregon was about 70% as expensive as what I would've paid to live in Seattle. It was a win-win; they were able to hire me at a discount, I was able to move to where I wanted to.
- anon1094 8y agoThis was a big problem I faced as a remote freelancer looking for 100% remote front-end work. Yes, there's a lot of remote work out there, but it's so spread out on various sources that you end up having to spend time every single day reading the listings in depth because many times there are constraints. For example it's limited to candidates in the USA, or it's remote but you have to live in London, or it does have flexible hours but you have to be willing to join a meeting at 3:00 AM EST. I've run into all kinds of constraints. Shameless Plug: This is the problem we're solving at RemoteLeads ( https://remoteleads.io/ https://remoteleads.io/ ). It's a paid service where you only get the jobs and projects that match up to your preferences.
- convolvatron 8y agofinding front end only work is problematic? try looking for systems programming work. most of these sites don't have have categories for any kind of software development - the closest you can get is DevOps/SRE or 'full stack'.
- PenguinCoder 8y agoTry looking for ANY legitimate role that's not programming or development oriented. Your pool rapidly approaches nil. I'm in information security and I quite enjoy it, but I would kill for a remote info sec job chance that many programmers have.
- wolco 8y agoBug bounties are remote. Probably more of a second job.
- robbintt 8y agoHi, I noticed on your pro sign up you still have 2 slots left for January, but we're in April: https://remoteleads.io/pro/login https://remoteleads.io/pro/login
- alkonaut 8y ago> you only get the jobs and projects that match up to your preferences. And then it says "web" in the first headline :D
- siruncledrew 8y agoWhy can't people just say "Thank You" to this person for taking the time to put a list together instead of spamming their own websites (some of which are already on this list....).
- ineedtosleep 8y agoThat's what the upvote button is for.
- pankmahar 8y agoIgnore them and Thank you.
- ccifuentes 8y agoWhat’s wrong with providing alternatives? Nothing against your list, but you may want to respect others’ work as well.
- neya 8y agoMeta: I personally found the published version very unfriendly to my eyes, so I chose to generate a download link for OP's spreadsheet. This is a direct link to download the spreadsheet : https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/download/spreadsheets/Export?key=1JfNAbUX_lN9K3MCNHO15GJtJ5qpk7H9Cl3xTBwv2FR8 https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/download/spreadsheets/...
- hbcondo714 8y agoJust clicked on https://www.remotezoo.com/ https://www.remotezoo.com/ from the list and received the message (in Chrome) This server could not prove that it is www.remotezoo.com; its security certificate expired 4 days ago.
- wolco 8y agoMy advice, click away. Chances are you will get sent valid html from the site you requested from.
- philip1209 8y agoOne to add that's not on the list: https://www.moonlightwork.com https://www.moonlightwork.com
- DoreenMichele 8y agoThey have a link at the top to suggest an addition. It takes you to a simple form where you type in the link and hit submit. That might be a more effective means to get this added.
- pankmahar 8y agoYes. I added all submissions.
- LogicX 8y agogreat list! I'm going to update mine ( http://lx.tc/positions http://lx.tc/positions ) to point here as soon as I confirm everything on my list is on yours.
- pankmahar 8y agoHahaha. You've nice collection.
- krob 8y agoHow do you save this list? I don't see a "copy" feature / save.
- maxnevermind 8y agoMaybe it's better to have as a GitHub repository so people can add new stuff there through pull requests and it can be indexed by Google so others can find it? I would add two missing sources myself, they are not the greatest but I found my previous remote job on one of them.
- pankmahar 8y agoGood Idea.
- bharathirp 8y agoWe are hand-curating the remote jobs from all over the web.
