49 hidden remote jobs hiring this week

Yep, the Golden remote GOAT award is new. And Kit is the first winner. Congrats!

I love, love, love Kit. We had been using the for years at Beach Commute, but didn't even realize that they were also an awesome WFA company. Have you EVER heard of this perk that PAYS you for taking time off?!

"Paid paid vacation: An after-tax bonus of $1,000 for taking five consecutive days of vacation where you’re fully unplugged from work"

Also, this is something everyone should consider when applying for a job: You do NOT need to meet 100% of a companies job requirements in a job listing.

"Research tells us that applicants who are female or non-binary, as well as applicants who are people of color, are less likely to apply for roles they do not feel 100% qualified for. If you think you meet more than 50% of our requirements but fewer than 100% of them, please apply. We’re imperfect communicators, so think of our job postings as the starting point for discussion rather than proof that you shouldn’t apply."

Here's some stuff I really like:

✅ Strong Peer Reviews: 5.0 Glassdoor score (23 reviews). While it is just an indicator, it's a pretty strong one.

⏰ Flexible hours: Offers flexible hours and schedules.

🏝️ Vacation bonus: Never heard of this one! "Paid vacation bonus. $1,000 bonus when taking 5+ consecutive days off with three-month advance planning."

✈️ Sabbatical: After five years with Kit, you get a four-week paid sabbatical.

💵 Transparent salaries: Still, something we shouldn't have to celebrate, but here it is!

🔌 Tech stipend: "$4,000 equipment budget upon joining and $3,000 every two years (US core team only)."

🏥 Medical: Comprehensive insurance. Health, dental, and vision.

Thank you to my lovely, devoted readers who send in these companies for review. I've got some genuinely mixed vibes on Uberall. Here's my scoop:

The careers page jumps straight into two panels of corporate platitudes that nobody reads. And I NEVER want to read "Be Customer Obsessed" anywhere employee-facing. What I do like is that they offer a remote work policy:

"The choice is yours: work from one of our global spaces or remotely. We offer great locations for collaborating, but coming to an office is not required."

And a clear hiring process:

Trust me, that's rare. And as you look through their careers page, use a discerning eye as many roles are location-specific, which can either be for timezone, or cost arbitrage. I'll keep an eye on this company, but they don't get an immediately high rating.

Dude, I cannot say enough good things about this company. They have a permanent spot in the top 1% of Beach Commute Atlas companies.

MailerLite has downloaded my brain, extracted everything we know about creating a perfect careers page that emphasizes taking an employee-first approach, and published it. Seriously, everything is perfect. And how about the flexibility and trust?

Oh, and of course they have an employee map, which really fires me up. We recommend that every company publishes the perks and benefits they offer employees - MailerLite has published an entire page dedicated to their P&Bs. You're over-delivering, big time. There are so many great policies in here that we want to share, but honestly I would have to copy/paste the entire page.

Boom.

They have a GREAT careers page, check it out. Here's a few things I like:

🏝️ Work from anywhere: "We're autonomous, async heavy, and hire globally. Pick a place, a base, or any space. We're happy wherever you are."

📚 Learning stipends: "Buy books. Learn skills. You're helping us grow the company, and we hope the company can help grow you."

🏥 Healthcare: "Universal Healthcare wherever you are. 99% coverage. United Platinum. Done. Don't worry about it."

✈️ Retreats: "It's nice to see each other every now and then to not talk about work, align, meet each other, and have a good time."

🧘🏾 Minimum PTO: "We value your space. Some companies tout unlimited PTO, pff. With us, you NEED to take minimum 2 weeks and 1 full week at a time."

🔌 Tech stipend: "We trust you. Buy what you need to be effective. This is your company as much as ours."

Update October 9th: They're sooo goooooooood. Go work here!

🏥 Medical coverage: "We provide 100% health coverage for employees and 80% for dependants. It's important to us that you & your family have health care covered."

🏝️ Paid Retreats: "We believe in the value of in-person time, so we all come together annually for a week. Each year we pick somewhere different in the world. It's a highlight of the year!"

🔌 Tech stipend: "Use this budget for any technology you need for your work setup."

📚 Learning budget: "An annual allowance to spend on professional development and education. Use this for courses, books, conferences, or anything that supports your continuous learning."

What a week, huh? Only the best of the best today.

You all know Zapier, but before we even get into the working conditions for employees, as a product, we use Zapier for EVERYTHING. Zapier's automations literally make our business function. The tools you can integrate and automate is absolutely WILD. In terms of working for Zapier, they check every box. Check out their Total Rewards page on benefits and perks for employees.

Also, they have a wildly self-aware Next Play Program. Here's what it's about:

We're true partners in hiring, retaining, and growing our talent. Through our Next Play Program, we support all Zapier teammates and alumni in landing their next big role—internally or externally. We equip teammates with growth plans, an internal job board, defined career pathways, and personalized support.

They will help you find your next role. That's unbelievably confident and secure, especially when every other company out there wants you to pretend that you're never going to leave the company, like you're working for a Ford production plant in the 60s.

Also, check out their entire resource guide on how to manage remote work.
