How we pick jobs

  • Every job is fully remote. Hybrid and office roles are not listed.
  • Every job shows a salary. We use the annual range published by the employer, in US dollars. We do not invent or estimate the numbers.
  • We look for roles that pay about $120,000 a year or more, or that are clearly senior (for example Senior, Staff, Principal, Director, or VP in the title).
  • The apply link on each job goes to the employer's own page. We do not take applications on this site.

Two senior jobs in this snapshot have a published minimum under $120,000 (a Senior Customer Success Operations Manager at GitLab, and a Senior Customer Support Operations Readiness Program Manager at Mercury). We kept them because the titles are clearly senior and the published range goes above $120,000. A non-senior job under that floor was not counted and is no longer on the board.
