3 Fully Remote Jobs That Are Hiring Now In 2024

Remote jobs aren’t going anywhere. Although, it is true, there are not as many currently available as there used to be in the heat of the pandemic, there is still a sizeable number of companies advertizing fully remote jobs, while others are making the switch to a new kind of remote—the hybrid model.

If you’re looking for a fully remote job that pays exceptionally well, check out this short list compiled below. Some of these roles are quite unique and interesting in their nature and are well suited to specific personalities or interests.

Therefore, as with any role, but especially with these, you should think critically about what transferable skills and experience you have to offer, that you can showcase on your resume as indicating that you are the perfect match for the job.

1. Fully Remote Founding ML (Machine Learning) Engineer

What could be quite as thrilling as being one of the founding engineers of an exciting mission-driven start-up, while making between $150,000 to $200,000 plus equity options?

Meet Meaningful Gigs. Its mission? To be a changemaker in the creative freelance industry, offering opportunities to African creative freelancers and pairing them with top organizations as clients. On their careers page, they say that their goal is to “advance human creativity by eliminating mundane tasks that stifle innovation.”

Remote working is engrained in the Meaningful Gigs’ company culture, it seems, as through analysis of their current open roles, all the vacancies listed (senior front end and backend engineers, and senior UX/UI designer) are advertized as being fully remote as well.

It’s essential to bear in mind, however, that working at a start-up requires a different set of skills, work ethic, and attitudes compared to your regular job at a well-established organization.

The company is keen to indicate here, at least for their founding ML engineer role, that they are looking for someone with bucket loads of ambition and determination; someone who ideally has experience working at a VC-backed or successful early-stage company, and who can keep things moving at a fast pace. They want someone with “a maniacal sense of urgency” as speed and time is of the essence with a bringing a product to market, as any professional with previous start-up experience would know. This employer also clearly specifies that they want a candidate to fill this role who is not only driven but proactive, “raising your hand when you have questions.”

Think about creative ways you can demonstrate that you have the go-getter, driven mindset that this company is looking for. This can be work-related, or sometimes you can pull from experiences not directly related to your work, such as volunteering.

You could think about times you have voiced a different opinion or challenged the status quo in meetings and how your contribution redirected the conversation and led to an alternative, positive outcome for all stakeholders involved. Be sure to quantify what that specific outcome was.

2. Fully Remote Dementia Care Navigator

Another exciting fully remote job that is hiring right now (at the time of writing), is that of a dementia care navigator at CareYaya. It’s pretty much an unheard of and brand new function, and we will begin to see just how essential it is in the near future.

This unique role is inspiring and fulfilling because it operates within a healthcare technology start-up, that was launched by an ex-hedge fund manager who, after a two-year hiatus to become a family caregiver for a cancer patient, decided to start a company focused on elder/dementia care tech.

This position has become available thanks to the Medicare GUIDE program for dementia care, Neal Shah, CareYaya’s founder and CEO says.

Speaking of these fresh remote job opportunities, Shah says: “Dementia care navigators play a crucial role in providing individualized assistance to patients with dementia and their families. These navigators help overcome healthcare system barriers and facilitate timely access to quality health and psychosocial care throughout all phases of the dementia care journey. This emerging role in the healthcare industry is becoming increasingly important as the number of people living with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias continues to grow.”

Amongst other things, the dementia care navigator role entails giving healthcare system guidance, making referrals, and providing emotional support.

The role is being advertized as paying between $80,000 to $100,000 per year.

To succeed in this role, having personal or lived experience of being a carer of a family member or other persons with dementia, or having a background in social work, community services, healthcare, and even counseling can prove extremely beneficial. To provide this personalized assistance to patients with dementia, you need strong empathy, listening and communication skills, and customer care skills.

3. Fully Remote Senior Software Engineer—People Manager

Finally, Payara, an global infrastructure software company headquartered in the UK, is hiring for a remote position that can be based anywhere globally, as a senior software engineer/people manager. The company is remote-first and currently has employees across 13 countries, according to their website.

What makes this company unique is their unique approach to onboarding as well as the inclusivity of their remote work, with plenty of opportunities to hang out with your co-workers in Teams chats, retreats, and monthly meetings to replace the lack of in-office banter and socializing.

Additionally, Payara currently boasts a 4.7 star rating on Glassdoor by employees, which is quite an impressive feat and a good indicator to look out for, and this clearly demonstrates the people-centric culture of the organization.

This is just a handful of remote jobs that are currently hiring, which showcase just how varied, exciting, mission-driven and life-transforming these opportunities can be, when you actually dig for them and evidence that you are an excellent match.
