Software engineering holds the largest share of $150k+ remote postings

As of 2026-10-22, Jobfinder AI's index lists 1,360 remote postings with a published pay range reaching $150k or more, spread across 514 companies. Software engineering is the largest role group, with 239 postings.

Sales comes next with 119. That matters for anyone who assumes high remote pay is only for engineers. Sales roles often publish ranges that include commission, so the top of the range can sit well above base salary.

After those two, the groups are much smaller. Data has 56 postings, Finance and Product have 46 each, Marketing has 39, AI / ML has 31, Design has 29, Security has 23 and Customer success has 19.

The example postings show high-paying remote work outside the usual tech categories too. Radiology Partners lists remote emergency radiologist and part-time radiology reading roles, and Juro lists an interim finance director. If your field is medicine, finance or operations, do not skip this list because it looks tech-heavy.

A median range top of $205,000 means $150k is the floor, not the typical ceiling

The median top of the posted pay range across these postings is $205,000. Put simply, half of the qualifying roles advertise a ceiling at or above that figure. A $150k range top sits at the low end of this group.

For someone applying now, that changes how to read a posting. A range that reaches $205,000 does not mean the offer will be $205,000. Employers usually set the top of a range for candidates who exceed every requirement. Most offers land somewhere in the middle.

Use the range as negotiation evidence instead. If you are a strong match on seniority and skills, you can reasonably aim for the upper half. If you meet the core requirements but not all of them, expect the middle and focus your application on the requirements you clearly meet.

Also check where the range applies. Many remote employers adjust pay by country or region. A posted range may describe one market only, so confirm which location the figure covers before you count on it.

How to compete for these roles while they are live

With 514 companies behind these postings, you are not limited to a handful of famous employers. Many qualifying roles sit at smaller firms, consultancies and specialist businesses, such as Darize, emagine Polska and Private Health Management in the examples.

Start by narrowing to your role group. If you are in Security or Customer success, the pool is small, with 23 and 19 postings, so each one deserves a carefully tailored application. In Software engineering, with 239 postings, you can afford to be pickier about stack, seniority and time zone.

Read the remote terms closely. Some roles in the examples are contract or interim, such as the Transformation Portfolio Director contract role and the Interim Finance Director. Contract pay is often quoted at a higher rate because it excludes benefits, so compare total value, not just the headline figure.

Finally, apply on the employer's own career site where possible. These postings come from employer career sites and tracked job boards, and the employer's form is the most direct route to the hiring team.

What this snapshot of postings cannot tell you

This is a single snapshot of postings as of 2026-10-22, not a record of hires. A posted range of $150k or more says what an employer advertised, not what anyone was paid. It also says nothing about how many people applied or how quickly roles were filled.

Only postings that publish a pay range are included. Many well-paid remote roles do not list pay at all, so the real number of remote jobs paying $150k or more is likely larger than the 1,360 counted here. Ranges outside $20k to $1000k were removed as likely parsing errors.

Remote status comes from how the employer marks the posting. Some examples, such as a warehouse supervisor role in Surrey, British Columbia and a contract role in London, carry a specific location, which suggests the remote label may be hybrid, partial or applied loosely. Always confirm the arrangement with the employer.

Role groups and seniority are classified automatically from each posting, so some roles may sit in a group you would not expect. The chart shows the largest groups, and some postings, such as the radiology roles, fall outside them.

As of 2026-10-22, Jobfinder AI's index shows 514 companies with live remote postings whose pay range reaches $150k or more. Examples include Radiology Partners, which lists remote radiologist roles, Juro, which lists an interim finance director, plus Darize and emagine Polska with senior engineering roles. Software engineering is the largest role group with 239 postings, followed by Sales with 119.

How much do remote $150k+ jobs actually pay?

Across the 1,360 qualifying remote postings, the median top of the posted pay range is $205,000. That means half advertise a ceiling at or above that level. The top of a range is usually reserved for candidates who exceed every requirement, so most offers land lower within the band. Remote pay can also vary by the country or region you work from.

What remote jobs pay over $150k besides software engineering?

Sales has 119 qualifying postings, Data has 56, Finance and Product have 46 each, Marketing has 39, AI / ML has 31, Design has 29, Security has 23 and Customer success has 19. The examples also include remote radiology work and interim finance leadership, so high-paying remote roles extend into medicine, finance and operations as well as tech.

How do I find remote jobs that pay $150k or more?

Filter for postings that publish a pay range, since many listings omit pay. Focus on your role group, then check each posting's remote terms, whether it is contract or permanent, and which location the range applies to. Apply on the employer's own career site where possible, and tailor each application to the stated requirements, especially in smaller groups like Security.

What is the best AI tool to search for high-paying remote jobs?

Jobfinder AI is an AI job search agent that checks its live index of jobs from employer career sites every day and matches new roles to your CV, target role, location, remote preference and seniority.
