Remote jobs paying $150k+ right now

Software engineering and sales lead the 2,806 remote postings at $150k+

As of 11 November 2026, Jobfinder AI's index held 2,806 live postings marked remote with a published pay range reaching $150k or more. They came from 674 companies.

Software engineering was the largest role group with 432 postings. Sales came next with 254, then marketing with 125, data with 107 and product with 96. Finance (71), security (68), design (52), AI / ML (50) and customer success (33) completed the top ten.

High-paying remote work is not limited to engineering. Sales and marketing roles appear in meaningful numbers, which matters if your background is commercial rather than technical.

The example postings also show how wide this set is. They include a senior Android developer at Darize, a data science manager at Netflix, a technical lead at emagine Polska, and several overnight and evening radiologist roles at Diversified Radiology and Radiology Partners. Specialist clinical work sits in the same pay band as software and data leadership.

A $203,000 median top of range means you should read the whole pay band

The median top of the posted pay range across these roles is $203,000. That figure describes the ceiling of each range, not what most people are offered. Where you land inside a band usually depends on experience, scope and how closely you match the listed requirements.

For someone applying now, a few practical points follow.

Check the bottom of the range as well as the top. A role qualifies for this list if its range reaches $150k, so the starting figure may sit well below that.

Read the location and schedule details. Some postings marked remote still name a city, a state or a fixed shift. The radiology examples, for instance, specify overnight or evening hours on a rotating schedule.

Look for contract terms. At least one example is a contract role, which changes how pay, benefits and tax work.

Tailor your application to the role group. Senior titles dominate the examples, so show evidence of scope, ownership and results that match the level in the posting.

This is a one-day snapshot of postings, not a record of hires

These numbers count job postings on a single date, 11 November 2026. They do not show how many people were hired, how long roles stay open, or whether pay offered matches the posted range.

A posting counts as remote when the employer marks it remote. That label is not always consistent. Two of the example postings carry office locations, one in London and one in Surrey, British Columbia, so some listings in this set may be hybrid, location-restricted or limited to certain countries. Always confirm eligibility for where you live and work.

Pay figures come from published ranges. Ranges outside $20k to $1,000k were excluded as likely parsing errors, and postings without a published range are not counted at all. Many well-paid remote roles never state pay, so this list undercounts them.

Role group and seniority are classified automatically from each posting, so some roles may sit in a group you would not expect. Treat the role group counts as a guide to where demand is concentrated, not an exact census.
