COMPANY SPOTLIGHT

• Akamai Technologies makes websites and apps work faster and more reliably by using a global network of servers to deliver content closer to users. They also help protect companies from cyberattacks by providing strong online security services.

• 159 open roles, primarily in Engineering, SysAdmin, Sales, and Product Management.

• Akamai’s employees overwhelmingly wanted flexibility, so they created a workplace policy called Flexbase, “which gives 95% of employees the choice to work from their home, their office, or both. This permanent workplace flexibility program is consistent and fair globally, and helps [Akamai] find incredible talent virtually anywhere.”

JOBS, JOBS, JOBS

More remote job boards

Even in the last year, there have been some great improvements in the remote job board options for job seekers to check out.

One of my favorite recent ones is OmniJobs.io, which has over 100,000 remote jobs (and even more in-person roles) for people to search through.

With that many options to browse, it seems there’s likely something for everyone on the OmniJobs job board.

🤝 HELPFUL LINKS

💼 The Remote Source Job Board has 20,000+ open remote and hybrid jobs, all from hand-picked, established companies, and is updated daily. It’s completely free to access all jobs, unlike most major remote job boards.

✅ The Remote Source Job Guide is a 27-page resource that ranks and reviews 51 job boards for remote job seekers, and contains links to dozens of resources for current and prospective remote workers. It’s completely free for lifetime access.

📞 If you create a free account on our job board, you can select “allow companies to contact me for jobs” — this gives us the ability to contact you if we work with a company that’s hiring and you look like a great match. (We’ll announce more details soon.)
