r/remotepythonhiring posts only

r/remotepython is small: a handful of posts a week, and only some of them are hiring. Most of the rest are developers offering their own services.

The hiring posts are remote Python contracts, often for AI companies: writing and checking code to train models, backend and DevOps work. When pay is stated, it's usually a high hourly rate or a monthly retainer.

Of the 15 posts we've read from r/remotepython since October 2026, 7 were hiring. The others: 1 question or discussion post, 5 people offering their services without the tag, 1 spam or promotional post and 1 post of another kind. Posts tagged [For Hire] or [Offer] are skipped before we read anything, so they aren't counted.

Right now: 4 of the 5 open jobs name an amount, 5 are remote, and 2 carry a scam warning.

• Software engineering 3
• Data, ML & AI 1
• DevOps & IT 1

• Some AI training posts ask for coding-contest rankings or a skills test. Find out whether the test is paid before you start.
• Check the country list. Several remote posts are open to certain countries only.

And everywhere on Reddit: read the whole post and its comments, and never pay to get a job. Our guide to Reddit job scams has the warning signs we see most.
