A List of Remote Job Sites for Programmers

I recently went through the job search process, aiming to land a job at a remote first company. Here is a list of sites I found useful, and at the end one site that you should definitely not use.

Best site of them all

• Remote Leaf

Remote Leaf is a paid email subscription that curates remote jobs - easily, the best option if you are looking for remote jobs and don’t want to have to trawl the internet

Best job boards

• Remote OK

• JS Remotely

• We Work Remotely

Sites to add your profile too

Beyond the goliaths LinkedIn and Stackoverflow, it is worth having a profile on these sites:

• 6 Nomads

Got my job from here, although admittedly it was the only useful lead I got.

• Nixia

• JS Works

The below 3 are not remote specific but useful if you are from the US or UK

• Hired (Only useful for US or UK citizens)

• Vettery (Only useful for US citizens)

• Triplebyte (Again best for US citizens)

Freelancing sites

• Moonlight Work

• Toptal

• Advisable

• Turing

Here is dump of other useful sites

(Disclaimer: I have not used all of these so can’t vouch for how good they are)

• Stack Overflow

• WFH

• Jobspresso

• Remotive

• Flex Jobs

• Working Nomads

• Remote.co

• Pagian

• Solid Gigs

• Workaline

• Work From Home Jobs

• Just Remote

• Remoters

• Daily Remote

• Authentic Jobs

• Site Point

• Hacker News Browser

Lastly, do not use remoteleads .io - they scammed me

You can see the full details here but in short, I and a few others paid for their premium service and never heard back. After being very friendly, the founder disappeared, didn’t reply to my messages through every possible avenue, blocked me on Twitter and I ended up having to claim the money back through my bank.

Good luck on the job search
