This week, we're focusing on the roles that build and scale the future. From high-paying engineering management positions to foundational roles in sales and design, we've found some of the most exciting opportunities for you to make a real impact.

First, here’s a list of remote work companies (we keep this updated).

Finding work shouldn’t feel like work.

You don’t need another job board.
You need a signal in the noise.

Indy AI, a new offering by Contra, helps independents find career-defining opportunities through the networks they’ve already built. It connects to LinkedIn and X, then quietly surfaces warm, high-fit opportunities hiding in your extended network, including from people you didn’t even know were hiring.

No cold outreach. No endless scrolling. No pitching into the void. Just real opportunities, backed by real people you already know.

It’s not hustle culture. It’s human signal.


And it’s how independents grow without burning out.

Finding work shouldn’t feel like work.


Let Indy AI do the searching, so you can focus on the work that actually matters.

The Remote Edge: Beyond the Technical - The Value of Soft Skills in Hard Tech

This week's roles, from GPU Kernel Engineering to UX/UI Design Leadership, highlight highly specialized technical skills. But in these cutting-edge fields, your ability to communicate, collaborate, and lead can be just as critical as your code or design expertise.

Here’s how to showcase those often-overlooked "soft" skills, even when applying for the hardest tech jobs:

  1. Translate Impact, Not Just Features: When discussing your past projects, don't just list what you built (e.g., "Implemented X algorithm"). Explain the why and the impact for the business or users (e.g., "Implemented X algorithm, resulting in a 20% performance improvement that directly impacted customer satisfaction"). This shows you think beyond the technical execution.

  2. Highlight Cross-Functional Collaboration: These roles involve working with diverse teams (engineers, product, sales, marketing). Share specific examples of how you've successfully collaborated with non-technical stakeholders, managed conflicting priorities, or influenced decisions outside your direct team. Strong leadership and communication are crucial, especially in remote settings.

  3. Showcase Your Adaptability & Learning Mindset: In fast-evolving fields like AI and sustainability tech, the landscape changes constantly. Demonstrate your curiosity, your ability to quickly learn new technologies or methodologies, and how you adapt when faced with unexpected challenges. This proves you're not just skilled for today, but ready for tomorrow.

In the world of complex remote tech, it's the engineers, designers, and sales leaders who can bridge gaps, articulate vision, and navigate change that truly stand out.
