What remote jobs open to Latin America pay

Every Tuesday we open the job table and count what is in it. This is the picture on 5 September 2026, looking back 30 days: 116,692 postings that passed through the sites we read — Brazil, the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and the remote job boards. Nothing here is an estimate. Every number comes from one query, and the query lives in our repository.

How to read these numbers

The pay figure is the ceiling of the advertised range, converted to dollars per month. A posting that says “$120k–$180k a year” is counted as $15,000.
Only 17,889 postings (15.3%) say what they pay. The other 84.7% are in no median here.
“Median” is the middle value: half pay less, half pay more. It is more honest than an average, which one director-level posting can lift on its own.
29.1% of postings still have no field assigned. They count in the total and not in the per-field rows.

What each field pays

Product	$20,167 · 1,424 postings, 333 with a range
Software engineering	$18,333 · 8,593 postings, 2,760 with a range
Data	$18,333 · 1,968 postings, 500 with a range
Design	$17,929 · 619 postings, 200 with a range
Marketing	$14,083 · 2,602 postings, 701 with a range
Infrastructure and networks	$11,371 · 3,027 postings, 418 with a range
Sales	$5,629 · 14,711 postings, 2,442 with a range
Finance	$5,000 · 5,474 postings, 1,350 with a range
Customer support	$2,760 · 3,950 postings, 855 with a range
Health	$2,400 · 8,375 postings, 538 with a range
Logistics	$494 · 6,630 postings, 1,351 with a range
Every field together	$4,875 · 116,692 postings, 17,889 with a range

Sales is the second largest field by volume — 14,711 postings — and its median is a third of software engineering's. Logistics and back-office sit under $500 a month because almost everything there is a Brazilian job advertised in reais, on a local contract. Both live in the same table, which is exactly why the “every field together” line — $4,875 — describes nobody.

The part that stings: who says they hire here

Says nothing about the country	109,756 postings (94.1%)
Latin America	2,566 (2.2%) · median $1,140
One country only, not yours	2,308 (2.0%) · median $18,042
United States only	1,717 (1.5%) · median $17,917
Anywhere in the world	345 (0.3%) · median $20,042

Only 2,911 postings in 30 days — 2.5% of everything — say in plain words that someone living in Latin America can take the job. And inside those 2,911 there are two markets that look nothing alike.

In software engineering: 930 postings say “Latin America” and 154 say “anywhere in the world”. Of the Latin America ones, 18 state a salary, median $2,185 a month. Of the worldwide ones, 85 state a salary, median $24,167. Same job title, written for two different audiences. The posting that says “Latin America” almost always came from a Brazilian site and pays in reais.

The practical reading: “remote” and “hires in Brazil” are not the same sentence. The sentence worth money is “worldwide”, and it shows up in 0.3% of postings. Finding those 345 inside 116,000 is the boring work we do for you.

What those jobs ask for

Python	259 postings
SQL	246
Java	227
AWS	202
Docker	195
Kubernetes	186
React	165
TypeScript	161
Git	154
PostgreSQL	151

Counted only inside the 2,911 postings open to Latin America. The list is the usual one, and that is good news: there is no secret technology. Docker, Kubernetes and CI/CD each appear in roughly 200 postings — more than React. Whoever hires from abroad wants somebody who can ship without a babysitter.

Where the form lives

On the employer's own site	87,486 (75.0%)
A home-made form we do not recognise	11,226 (9.6%)
Greenhouse	8,613 (7.4%) · 147 employers
LinkedIn	4,189 (3.6%)
Ashby	3,907 (3.3%) · 99 employers
Lever	1,102 (0.9%) · 23 employers
Workable	158 (0.1%) · 19 employers

Among the postings open to Latin America, Greenhouse shows up 98 times and Ashby 76. A handful of forms carry hundreds of employers, which is why typing the same answer for the twentieth time is both so annoying and so automatable. We wrote a whole post about the Greenhouse form.

What we would do with this

Search for the sentence, not the word. “Remote (worldwide)” and “Remote — LATAM” are worth different money.
Ask in dollars. The people who pay in dollars and hire worldwide sit near $20,000 a month at the top of the range; the ones writing for Brazil sit near $2,000.
Distrust the posting that names no country — that is 94% of them. Confirm before you write the letter.
If the range is missing, it still exists. 84.7% hide it, and asking early saves you two interviews.

We read this table every day and send you only what clears the rules you set — pay floor, countries, language. On the free plan that is one application a day; on Pro, up to ten a day, when there is a posting worth it. The prices are on Plans and pricing and the common questions are on the FAQ.
