I make Remote OK, which aggregates most job boards for remote jobs. I have data for the last 2 years of jobs.

I quickly made this page for you to see what stacks/tags are most popular: https://remoteok.io/stats.php

Top stacks:

  Ruby		1,759 jobs	(9%)
  Node JS	953 jobs	(5%)
  PHP		779 jobs	(4%)
  Meteor JS	645 jobs	(3%)
  Python	552 jobs	(3%)
  Java		525 jobs	(3%)
  C++		374 jobs	(2%)
  Linux		313 jobs	(2%)
  C		268 jobs	(1%)
  Rails		266 jobs	(1%)
  Scala		242 jobs	(1%)
  Wordpress	226 jobs	(1%)
  Jquery	212 jobs	(1%)
  Mongodb	136 jobs	(1%)
  .NET		119 jobs	(1%)
  Drupal	115 jobs	(1%)
  Photoshop	100 jobs	(1%)
Top tags:

  Dev		8,919 jobs	(46%)
  Senior	2,619 jobs	(13%)
  Exec		2,045 jobs	(10%)
  Ruby		1,759 jobs	(9%)
  Marketing	1,469 jobs	(8%)
  Full Stack	1,293 jobs	(7%)
  Mobile	1,036 jobs	(5%)
  UI		881 jobs	(5%)
  Sys Admin	789 jobs	(4%)
  Backend	722 jobs	(4%)
  Devops	674 jobs	(3%)
  Admin		641 jobs	(3%)
  Python	552 jobs	(3%)
  Full Time	546 jobs	(3%)
  CSS		513 jobs	(3%)
  Medical	437 jobs	(2%)
  PM		426 jobs	(2%)
  C++		374 jobs	(2%)
  Cloud		370 jobs	(2%)
  Ops		346 jobs	(2%)
I think these are fairly similar to non-remote positions but I'm not sure. It's predominantly dev/tech jobs any way.

Thanks for the stats. It seems logical that Ruby is on top since Basecamp guys are probably the most influential evangelists of remote work out there.

I'm pretty sure these are not similar for non-remote positions, though.


This website is awesome! This'll be a stellar resource for me.


Hey, check your trends page, might be a bug? https://remoteok.io/trends
