Share of live postings open to remote work, by role group, in the US.
Customer-facing roles are the most remote-friendly in the US right now
Of the 10,198 live US postings in this snapshot, 31.9% are open to remote work across the 10 role groups. The top of the chart is dominated by roles that work with customers and buyers. Customer success leads at 38.8%, with 146 remote postings out of 376. Sales follows at 38% and marketing at 36.4%.
Sales matters for volume as well as share. It has 2,803 live postings, and 1,065 of them are open to remote work. That is the largest remote count of any group in this report, so a sales candidate filtering for remote still has a wide set of openings to work through.
The middle of the chart sits close to the overall figure. Security is at 31.3%, product at 31% and data at 30.3%. In these groups, roughly the same share of postings is remote as in the market as a whole, so remote is common but not the default.
If you work in customer success, sales or marketing and want a remote role, this snapshot suggests that a remote-only search is a realistic starting point rather than a narrow one.
Software engineering has many remote openings but one of the lowest shares
Software engineering is the largest role group here, with 3,113 live US postings. Only 27.5% of them are open to remote work, which places it near the bottom of the chart. Because the group is so large, that share still adds up to 855 remote postings.
Technical neighbours sit in a similar range. AI / ML is at 28.5% remote and design at 28.7%. Finance has the lowest share of the 10 groups at 23.5%, with 60 remote postings out of 255.
What this means if you are applying now: in these groups, most live postings are not marked remote. If you are open to hybrid or on-site work, including those roles in your search gives you access to the larger part of the market. If remote is a firm requirement, expect a smaller pool and plan to apply consistently as new postings appear.
For finance candidates in particular, a strict remote filter leaves a short list, so it is worth checking new postings often and applying early to the ones that fit.
What this snapshot can and cannot tell you
This is a single snapshot of live postings in the US as of 2026-10-15. It shows what employers were advertising on that day. It does not show how many people were hired, how many remote roles were filled, or how these shares compare with any earlier period.
A posting counts as remote only when the employer marks it remote. Some roles that allow remote work may not be labelled that way, and a remote label does not tell you every condition attached to the job, so read each posting carefully before you apply.
Role group and seniority are classified automatically from each posting, so a small number of roles may sit in a different group than you would expect. Market is taken from the posting's location.
Some groups are small. Finance has 255 postings, security 323 and design 356, so a handful of new or closed postings can shift their shares noticeably. Larger groups such as software engineering and sales give a steadier picture. Treat these figures as a guide to where remote roles are concentrated today, not as a forecast.
