What remote employers screen for
- Async written communication — they will read your resume as a writing sample.
- Self-direction — evidence you've owned outcomes without daily check-ins.
- Timezone overlap — be explicit: "Available 4 hours overlap with US Pacific."
- Tools fluency — Slack, Notion, Linear, Loom, GitHub Actions.

Weak: Led daily standups and weekly syncs. Strong: Drove async-first project planning in Linear + Notion — cut sync meetings by 60% across a 9-person globally distributed team.
Portfolio links matter more in remote
- Public GitHub.
- A blog or technical writeup.
- A Loom demo of a past project.
Remote employers can't do a coffee meeting. Your written + recorded artifacts are your interview.
