How to land one

  • Apply in the first few days. Remote roles draw applicants from a whole country, and many are reviewed in the order they arrive.
  • Show you work well without a desk next to your manager: written updates, projects you shipped on your own, teams you worked with across time zones.
  • Check the location line before you apply. Many remote roles are open only in certain states or countries.
