AngelList

Top Pro

Easy to match/connect with employers

AngelList works almost as you'd expect from a dating app. You can click "Interested" in a position or company. If the company does the same with you, an introduction email will be sent to both parties. This helps save time applying for jobs as you know who's interested. See More

Top Con

Not a hotspot for remote jobs

Currently there are a couple hundred remote jobs listed (in total, not specific to backend). While that is still a good number to look through, it's nothing compared to many of the remote-specific job boards. See More

Top Pro

All salaries are listed

Every job post must include a salary range for the position, which saves you from wasting time applying to positions that aren't offering the salary you're looking for. See More

Reddit

Top Pro

Variety of freelance and salaried positions

There is a good variety of job types so you're able to find what fits your schedule and lifestyle best. See More

Top Con

Not specifically a job board

Reddit is not specifically a job board, so may lack some of the features you're looking for (such as a strong search feature). See More

Top Pro

"For hire" posts get a lot of attention

Where many of the current remote job boards are specifically for employees looking to apply to positions, reddit is a good place to post "for hire" ads and allow the employers to contact you. See More

We Work Remotely

Top Pro

High quality, serious job posts

The cost to post a job on We Work Remotely is $200/30 days. Being such an investment for the company insures that all job posts are from serious employers. See More

Top Con

Not that active

We Work Remotely is fairly quiet, with often only one or two new job posts a day. This is likely due to the $200/month cost for employers to post the job ad. See More

Stack Overflow Careers

Top Pro

All positions tagged remote allow fully remote employees

Some job boards will allow a position to be tagged with "remote" if the job only includes some work from home days. Stack Overflow requires that candidates be allowed to work entirely remote for the remote tag to be added. See More

Top Pro

Very developer focused

The job postings are all for programming or tech related positions, so there is no need to filter out other job types (such as customer service). See More

score 2 · Answer 5

Working Nomads

Top Pro

Large and active board

Working Nomads scrapes jobs from other job boards, so there are plenty of new listings each day. See More

Top Con

No way to filter job types

The filter is limited to the field (development, design, customer service etc.). There is no way to filter things like permanent, freelance, part-time, salary etc.. See More

No Fluff Jobs

Top Pro

Great filter/search feature

You can select from preexisting categories (such as Frontend, fullstack, mobile, and backend). Plus the amount of remote time you want, holiday time, salary etc.. See More

Top Con

Young board

No Fluff Jobs is still is beta and is not that well known yet, which means fewer postings. For example, there is currently around 11 postings for 100% remote positions. See More

Top Pro

Clearly displays all the important details about the job and company

Everything is listed at the top of the job ad so you can easily glance over it and figure out if the job matches what you're looking for, rather than having to get that information reading through a long job posting. Things listed include salary, company size, project team size, and holiday time. See More
