Frequently asked questions

You need strong programming skills in languages like Python, Java, or Scala, expertise in big data technologies (e.g., Hadoop, Spark), proficiency in data modeling and database management, as well as experience with cloud platforms. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills are also essential.

Typically, a degree in computer science, engineering, or a related field is required. Many employers prefer advanced degrees or significant experience in data engineering. Strong experience and a proven track record of leading data projects are often more important than formal qualifications.

Responsibilities include designing and managing data architecture, building and maintaining data pipelines, ensuring data quality and reliability, collaborating with data scientists and analysts, and leading engineering teams on data projects. You will also need to stay updated on industry trends and best practices.

Benefits include flexible work schedules, the ability to work from any location, higher salaries compared to on-site positions, and the opportunity to work with cutting-edge technologies. Remote work also allows for a diverse work environment and improved work-life balance.

Frequently asked questions

We use powerful scraping tech to scan the internet for thousands of remote jobs daily. 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 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 internets 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 every 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 Lior@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.
