Welcome to Open Roles.
Every week, I find startup jobs paying $100,000 or more — remote, hybrid, and on-site — and deliver them directly to you.
Not recycled LinkedIn listings. Not roles that have been open for six months. Fresh opportunities at funded, fast-moving companies, with real salary data attached.
Here's the problem most job seekers don't know they have:
The best startup jobs are never where most people look. By the time a role appears on a major job board, it has already been seen by internal referrals, sourced candidates, and people plugged into the right networks. You're competing against people who had a head start before the listing went live.
Open Roles exists to close that gap.
Every week you'll get:
Ten curated startup roles across remote, hybrid, and on-site — all paying $100k or above, all with verified salary ranges and direct application links.
One funded startup profiled in depth — who they are, what they're building, what roles they're filling, and how to get noticed.
One tactical tip — a specific, actionable thing you can do this week to improve your positioning, your application, or your negotiation.
The first issue is below. But before you read it, do one thing:
Reply to this email with your current role and what kind of position you're targeting. I read every reply and it directly shapes what I research each week.
Let's get you an offer.

TACTIC OF THE WEEK
Stop applying. Start appearing.
Startup hiring managers don't spend their days reviewing inbound applications. They search. They look at LinkedIn, GitHub, and Twitter for people who are already doing the work they need done.
Before you apply to any role this week, ask yourself: if the hiring manager searched for someone with my skills right now, would they find me?
If the answer is no, that's where to start. Update your LinkedIn headline to include your core skill and the words "open to new opportunities." That single change puts you in more recruiter searches immediately.
Apply through official channels anyway — but make sure you're also visible before the application arrives.
See you next week.
