Software engineering and sales lead the $150k+ remote postings

As of 21 October 2026, Jobfinder AI's index holds 1,382 live remote postings whose published pay range reaches $150k or more. They come from 526 companies.

Software engineering has the most, with 237 postings. Sales follows with 128, which matters if you assume high remote pay is only for engineers. Commission-heavy sales roles often publish ranges that include variable pay, so the top of the range can sit well above the base.

The next groups are close together: Data with 57, Finance with 48, Product with 46 and Marketing with 40. AI / ML and Design each have 32, Security has 23 and Customer success has 19.

The example postings also show a strong medical presence, especially remote radiology roles, which the chart's ten role groups do not cover. If you work in a clinical specialty that supports remote reading or telehealth, this pay band is not limited to tech and commercial roles.

A $205,000 median range top means many floors start lower

The median top of the posted pay range across these postings is $205,000. That number describes the top of each range, not what a typical hire is paid.

This report includes a posting if its range reaches $150k, so a role advertised at a lower starting figure with a $150k ceiling still counts. Before you apply, read the full range and ask where your experience places you in it. Recruiters usually expect candidates to land somewhere in the middle unless they bring something specific.

For negotiation, the published range is useful leverage. If a posting shows a top of around $205,000 and you meet every listed requirement, it is reasonable to ask for an offer in the upper part of the band.

Also check what the figure covers. Some ranges include bonus, commission or equity, and some are hourly or per-case rates converted to an annual figure, which is common in part-time medical work.

Read what remote means in each posting before applying

A posting counts here when the employer marks it remote. That label covers a wide range of arrangements, and the examples show how wide.

Some listings marked remote still name a city, such as a contract director role in London and a warehouse supervisor role in Surrey, British Columbia. These may be remote only within a country, open to hybrid work, or labeled inconsistently by the employer. A supervisor role on a factory floor is a good reminder to verify before you invest time in an application.

Others are remote but not standard full-time jobs. The examples include part-time moonlighting work, an interim finance director role, a contract transformation role and radiology shifts on set evening hours with rotating weeks on and off.

Check three things in each posting: which countries or time zones the employer can hire in, whether the role is permanent or contract, and the expected working hours. Those details often decide whether a high range is actually open to you.

This is a snapshot of postings, not a record of hires

These figures come from a single day, 21 October 2026, in an index of 148,000 live jobs from employer career sites and job boards that Jobfinder AI tracks. They show what employers are advertising, not who has been hired or what offers were accepted.

Only postings with a published pay range are included. Many employers still do not publish pay, especially outside places that require it, so plenty of high-paying remote roles will not appear here. Pay figures outside $20k to $1000k were excluded as likely parsing errors.

Role group and seniority are classified automatically from each posting, so some roles may sit in a group you would not expect. The remote label is the employer's own.

Because this is one snapshot, it does not show whether remote pay is rising or falling, or whether any role group is growing. Use it to see where high-paying remote roles are being posted right now, then judge each posting on its own details.

What do high-paying remote jobs actually pay?

How do I check if a high-paying remote job is really remote?

In this data a job counts as remote when the employer marks it that way, and some of those postings still name a city, such as London or Surrey, British Columbia. Check the countries or time zones the employer can hire in, whether any office days are expected, and whether the role is permanent, contract or part-time before you apply.
