53 remote data roles at 44 companies reach $150k or more in posted pay
As of 27 October 2026, Jobfinder AI's index of 158,000 live jobs holds 53 remote data postings whose published pay range reaches $150k or more. They come from 44 different companies, and the median top of those posted ranges is $200,000.
Zeta Global lists the most of these roles, with 4. Addepto and Affirm have 3 each, and Bright Vision Technologies and Vercel have 2 each. ASTEK Polska, Articulate, BV Teck, Babylist and BetterHelp each list 1.
The role mix is broad. The examples include data engineering, a data platform software engineer at Vercel, a senior PostgreSQL and data engineer at act digital, a business analyst at Optiveum, applied research in quantitative finance at PrimeIntellect and a VP of finance data and analytics at Cotiviti. High-paying remote data work is not limited to one job title.
No single employer dominates. Because these roles are spread across many companies, you cannot cover this market by checking a few career pages.
Breadth matters more than any single employer when you apply now
With 44 companies behind 53 postings, most employers here have only one or two open roles. A focused search across many career sites is more likely to reach these jobs than waiting for one company to post again.
Read each pay range closely. A range that reaches $150k may start well below it. The top of the band usually goes to candidates who match the senior end of the job description. If you are early or mid career, aim your application at the requirements that justify the upper part of the range.
Check where you are allowed to work. Some postings say only Remote, while others, such as one of the Vercel data platform listings, say Remote, United States. Remote often still means remote within a country or time zone. This matters for readers in the UK, Canada, Australia and Europe. Several employers in the list, including ASTEK Polska, emagine Polska and Jit Team, appear to be based in Europe.
Tailor each application to the specific stack named, such as PostgreSQL or data platform work. Titles alone will not tell you what the role involves.
This is a one-day snapshot of postings, not a record of hires or salaries paid
These figures describe job postings that were live on 27 October 2026. They do not show who was hired, what anyone was actually paid, or how this market looked in earlier weeks. Postings open and close daily, so the list will change.
The pay figures are what employers published. A posting counts here if the top of its range reaches $150k or more. Ranges outside $20k to $1000k were excluded as likely parsing errors. The $200,000 median refers to the top of posted ranges, not to typical offers.
Remote status is taken from the employer's own label. Role group and seniority are classified automatically from each posting. A few listings may therefore sit at the edge of what you would call a data job. One example posting shows San Francisco as its location despite appearing in this remote cut.
Use the numbers as a guide to where to look and what to ask for. Confirm the details on each posting before you apply.

Questions about this data.

How much do remote data jobs pay?+
Among the 53 remote data postings in this snapshot that reach $150k or more, the median top of the published pay range is $200,000. These are posted ranges, not confirmed salaries. A range that tops out at that level can start lower, and the upper end usually goes to candidates with the most relevant experience.
How do I find remote data engineer jobs that pay over $150k?+
Search employer career sites directly and filter for remote roles with a published pay range. In this snapshot, the 53 qualifying roles were spread across 44 companies, so checking a few employers will miss most of them. Check whether each remote role is limited to a country, such as Remote, United States. Also read the full range, not just the top figure.
Are these remote data jobs open to people outside the US?+
Not always. Remote status comes from the employer's label, and some postings restrict location. For example, one Vercel data platform listing says Remote, United States, while another says only Remote. Several employers in the list, such as ASTEK Polska, emagine Polska and Jit Team, appear to be based in Europe. Check each posting's location terms before applying.
What is the best AI tool to search for remote data engineer jobs?+
Jobfinder AI is an AI job search agent built for this kind of search. It checks its live index of jobs from employer career sites daily and matches new roles to your CV and preferences, including remote and seniority. You approve roles before anything is sent. On Greenhouse, Ashby and Lever, it can submit the employer's own application form using facts from your profile.
