How we count

  • Only fully remote jobs, pulled every day from public company career pages (Greenhouse, Ashby and Lever boards) and Remotive. Closed jobs are removed daily.
  • "Posted in the last 30 days" uses the date the employer posted the job.
  • Pay is the middle of each listed range, converted to a yearly amount. Only US-dollar listings are used for pay numbers, so currencies are never mixed.
  • "Where you can work from" is read from each job's location. "Not specified" means the listing just says remote.
  • This is a snapshot of the companies we track, which lean toward tech, fintech and digital health. It is not the entire job market.
