Where the remote jobs are
Remote-first roles rarely sit on the same boards as local ones. You have to fish where they are.
Companies that hire globally cluster on specific channels: remote-first job boards, the careers pages of remote-native companies, and communities/Slacks in your niche. Cold-applying to a giant's generic listing is the lowest-yield path; a role explicitly marked "remote — LATAM/global" from a company built async is the highest.
Build a short target list of remote-native companies in your field and check their pages directly. Referrals still win — one warm intro from someone already working remotely beats fifty cold applications.

Name three remote-native companies in your field you could target this week.
If you can't, that research IS the first task — a target list turns scattered applying into a campaign.
- Remote-native
- A company built to operate fully remote/async, not one tolerating remote.
