Frequently asked questions
You need strong programming skills in languages like Python, Java, or Node.js. Proficiency in database management (SQL, NoSQL), API development, and familiarity with cloud services (AWS, Azure) are crucial. Problem-solving, debugging, and good communication skills are also important for remote collaboration.
Typically, a degree in computer science, software engineering, or a related field is preferred. Experience in backend development and a solid portfolio of past projects are often more important. Certifications in cloud technologies or programming languages can be advantageous.
Responsibilities include designing, implementing, and maintaining backend systems, developing APIs, writing clean and efficient code, collaborating with front-end developers, ensuring system security and performance, and troubleshooting issues as they arise.
Benefits include flexible working hours, the ability to work from anywhere, a better work-life balance, and reduced commuting time. Remote positions also offer opportunities to work with diverse teams and technologies across different geographical locations.

Frequently asked questions
We use powerful scraping tech to scan the internet daily for thousands of remote jobs. It operates 24/7 and costs us to operate, so we charge for access to keep the site running.
Of course! You can cancel your subscription at any time with no hidden fees or penalties. Once canceled, you'll still have access until the end of your current billing period.
Other job boards only have jobs from companies that pay to post. This means that you miss out on jobs from companies that don't want to pay. On the other hand, Remote Rocketship scrapes the internet for jobs and doesn't accept payments from companies. This means we have thousands of more jobs!
New jobs are constantly being posted. We check each company website multiple times a day to ensure we have the most up-to-date job listings.
Yes! We're always looking to expand our listings and appreciate any suggestions from our community. Just send an email to Support@remoterocketship.com. I read every request.
Remote Rocketship is a solo project by me, Lior Neu-ner. I built this website for my wife when she was looking for a job! She was having a hard time finding remote jobs, so I decided to build her a tool that would search the internet for her.
