Where remote developer jobs are actually posted

By the time a role reaches a big aggregator, it has often been live for days, or re-posted to look fresh. The roles you want usually appear first on a company's own careers page, powered by an applicant-tracking system.

Go one level up from the aggregator

Most companies publish their roles through one of a handful of applicant-tracking systems. Those feeds are public and updated the moment a role opens. That is what we read, which is why we can tell you how long a role has actually been open.

Always apply on the company's own page

It is faster, it is where the employer is watching, and it keeps your data out of aggregator databases that resell it. Aggregators are great for discovery; the company page is where you apply.

Set up fewer, better alerts

Five precise alerts, say, senior PHP remote-anywhere, and senior Go remote-anywhere, beat twenty vague ones. Then read them with a filter: is it actually remote?

Beware "evergreen" listings

Some boards keep dead roles up to look busy. If a recruiters' post is months old, check whether the company is still hiring at all, our freshness grades do this for you, and this checklist catches the rest.
