// THE DIRECTORY

remote_sites.json

Find startups, engineering roles and remote-first listings without arbitrary scores.

RESOURCE// JOB WEBSITE
↗
[ STARTUP RECRUITING ]

Wellfound ↗

Useful for startup engineering, product, design and data opportunities.

PLUS

Startup company pages make it easier to research products and teams before deciding to apply. Remote-only preferences and 'Hires Remotely From' labels help narrow the location question.

MINUS

A remote-only search still requires an employer-specific eligibility check. Equity figures are not equivalent to salary, and small-company risk varies substantially.

↗
[ MATCHED REMOTE TECH HIRING ]

Arc ↗

Good for experienced developers interested in matching and recruiter access rather than only browsing vacancies.

PLUS

Developer-focused positioning keeps attention on software work rather than every job category. A talent-matching route can connect a prepared profile with employers seeking relevant experience.

MINUS

Creating a compelling profile can take longer than scanning a public job directory. Vetting or matching steps may depend on role or opportunity and cannot guarantee interviews.

RESOURCE// JOB WEBSITE
↗
[ TECH SKILLS, BROAD CATALOG AND FREE LISTINGS ]

remotely.living ↗

Useful for developers and adjacent technical specialists who want a large set of remote roles, detailed stack searching and plenty of free browsing without committing to a matching service.

PLUS

Technical-skill filtering can isolate React, Python, SQL, AWS, Kubernetes and other stacks across numerous employer sources. Engineering, data and AI, QA, security, DevOps and product categories let technical candidates move between adjacent specialties.

MINUS

Some of the newest jobs are not immediately readable to every visitor; early-access rules may apply. A skill tag is only a search aid: it cannot replace reading a role's actual requirements or tech stack.

↗
[ BROAD SEARCH FILTERS ]

Remote Rocketship ↗

Useful for exploring a broad set of new roles with detailed filtering.

PLUS

Employer-site discovery can uncover engineering roles that are easy to miss in social-network feeds. Country and timezone options help remove technical jobs that cannot hire the applicant.

MINUS

Source freshness does not necessarily mean an employer has not already received many applications. Estimated ghost-job indicators should not be treated as objective judgments about individual companies.

↗
[ STACK-TAG BROWSING ]

Remote OK ↗

A straightforward choice if your search starts with a framework or job-function keyword.

PLUS

Tags make it easy to start from technologies such as Python, React or infrastructure tooling. Remote orientation means fewer generic local-only engineering posts to sift through.

MINUS

A tag may be a coarse categorization rather than an explicit employer requirement. A company hiring remotely can still restrict contracts to a specific country or timezone.

↗
[ ADVANCED SEARCH COMBINATIONS ]

Himalayas ↗

A strong complement if you want to combine stack, seniority, geography and salary constraints.

PLUS

Multiple skills and seniority controls help separate hands-on IC jobs from managerial positions. Salary ranges can be compared across currencies when companies publish them.

MINUS

Using a required salary range can hide otherwise relevant jobs without published pay. Skill tags do not always represent the complete engineering stack of a team.

[ A FOCUSED DAILY SCAN ]

We Work Remotely ↗

Good for quickly surveying new remote openings before doing a detailed location check.

PLUS

Programming and infrastructure categories provide quick entry points into relevant work. A remote-focused board keeps location-flexible opportunities prominent.

MINUS

Technical depth in a listing varies because employers write their own descriptions. Country or timezone restrictions can disqualify roles even when the category is fully remote.

READ FEATURES AND LIMITATIONS →
RESOURCE// JOB WEBSITE
↗
[ COUNTRY-BASED REMOTE BROWSING ]

Working Nomads ↗

Useful for people who want to scan various remote career categories within their hiring region.

PLUS

Multiple job families make cross-functional remote searches possible. Country and region browsing help narrow employers that may actually hire you.

MINUS

A broad job-family structure means highly specialized stack requirements are not always prominent. Additional discovery tools or positions may be tied to a Premium offering.

READ FEATURES AND LIMITATIONS →

↗
[ LANGUAGE AND SKILLS FILTERS ]

Remotive ↗

A solid option when you speak a particular language or need a combination of skill requirements.

PLUS

Skills and career-level filters support job searches beyond a generic 'developer' keyword. Geographic matching helps candidates focus on remote work eligible from their country.

MINUS

An access upgrade is promoted, so users should check which features or listings remain free. The same programming language can indicate vastly different functions and responsibility levels.

READ FEATURES AND LIMITATIONS →
RESOURCE// JOB WEBSITE
↗
[ REMOTE WORK AND COMPANY PROFILES ]

NoDesk ↗

Useful for browsing jobs and learning about companies and remote culture at the same time.

PLUS

Remote-work guides provide context on autonomy, asynchronous updates and distributed collaboration. Curated openings encourage closer evaluation of a few employers rather than indiscriminate applications.

MINUS

A curated selection may contain few jobs for a narrow language, framework or level. Editorial articles do not substitute for up-to-date technical requirements on the employer's careers page.

READ FEATURES AND LIMITATIONS →
// END_OF_DIRECTORY

Entries are resources rather than ranked recommendations. Verify the employer's eligibility requirements on the original vacancy.
