Best time of year to look for a remote tech job

Remote hiring follows the broader engineering hiring cycle with minor differences. ## Strongest months January and February. Companies hit new headcount budgets. Most new requisitions open in this window. ## Second peak September and October. Post-summer back-to-business cycle. Strong for senior hiring. ## Slow months Mid-July to mid-August (summer slowdown). Mid-December to early January (holidays). ## Async hiring continues year-round Unlike traditional office hiring, fully remote hiring has less seasonality. Senior remote roles fill more evenly across the year because they require longer searches anyway.
