These 10 in-demand startups are hiring right now—many roles are remote and pay $100,000 or more
Startups aiming to revolutionize artificial intelligence technology and health care are among the buzziest organizations to work for right now — and many of them are hiring for lucrative and remote jobs.
Perplexity, an AI-powered search engine headquartered in San Francisco, was named the No. 1 startup in LinkedIn’s annual analysis of startups seeing rapid growth and demand.
Ramp, a New York City-based financial tech company, fell from the top spot last year to No. 2 in 2024.
Rounding out the top three, Boston-based Cohere Health leverages AI to streamline processes in the health care system with the goal of enhancing both patient care and administrative efficiency.
LinkedIn’s top startup list recognizes 50 young U.S. companies across four key metrics: how much their headcount grew in the last year, how many non-employees are viewing their page and the profiles of their employees, rising interest in their job openings, and how many hires they’ve recruited away from other LinkedIn top companies.
Many startups have been founded since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 and aim to solve problems exacerbated by the global health crisis.
Altogether, these startups represent big opportunities for tech workers, especially those with machine learning specialties. Many are also looking for workers in business development, social media, marketing, customer support and, in the case of health-care startups, registered nurses and clinical psychologists.
