Hey buddy,
I asked you guys about this in my last email and received a phenomenal response. So many of you wanted me to curate remote jobs that I find, so here I am.
New series today. Here's the thing nobody tells you about remote jobs, the best ones never touch a job board. Founders post them on X, say "DMs open," and hire whoever shows up first. No ATS. No 47-step application. No ghost listings.
I went and found four that are live right now. One of them has a deadline of today.
Quick rules for this series: I only include listings from real, verifiable people. I check who they are before you waste a DM. And I tell you the catch the listing doesn't.
Job 1: Short-Form Comms at Kalshi
Who's hiring: Kalshi — the prediction market platform. They raised $1 billion in May at a $22 billion valuation and are reportedly already raising again at ~$40 billion. This is one of the fastest-growing companies in the world right now.
The role: Run their short-form comms. In their words, someone who will "live and breathe X and get paid to do it."
Pay: Not listed — but here's the signal: they're offering a $15,000 referral bounty (plus a commissioned oil painting of your face, seriously) to anyone who refers the person they hire. Companies don't pay $15K referral fees for low-paid roles.
Who this is for: You're chronically online, you understand X culture natively, and you can write. That's the whole job.
The catch: The referral bounty window closes EOD Thursday — that's today. The role itself may stay open, but the hiring sprint is now. Also, no formal job description means no formal expectations — you're being hired on vibes and receipts. Bring receipts.
How to apply: DM @ryanatkalshi on X. Send your X profile, not a CV.
Job 2: beehiiv Designer at Spacebar Studios
Who's hiring: Brandon Pindulic (@BPindulic) — founder of Spacebar Studios, a B2B newsletter agency that's worked with 50+ companies. He previously built and sold OpGen Media. This is a real operator, not a course-seller.
The role: beehiiv newsletter design. They launch roughly 2 new newsletters every month, plus their media brands need design work. That's steady, recurring work — not a one-off gig.
Pay: Not listed. Agency design work like this typically runs per-project or monthly retainer — name your rate when you reach out.
Who this is for: If you know beehiiv's design system — custom templates, headers, layout blocks — this might be the most under-competed listing on this list. Only 1,769 people saw this post. beehiiv design is a genuinely rare skill.
The catch: "Designer" is vague — clarify whether they mean visual templates, full builds, or brand systems before quoting a price. And agency work means client feedback loops. Lots of them.
How to apply: DM @BPindulic on X with 2-3 beehiiv newsletters you've designed. Live links, not screenshots.
Job 3: Creator Growth Manager at an AI Startup
Who's hiring: Romàn (@romanbuildsaas) at Gojiberry.ai. Remote only, fluent English required.
The role: Execute growth playbooks across TikTok, X, and LinkedIn. Creator marketing and influencer partnership experience required. AI startup experience is a plus. There's a referral bonus if you send someone they hire.
Pay: Not listed.
Who this is for: You've already done creator/influencer marketing somewhere and can show numbers from it. This is not an entry-level "I'm good at social media" role.
The catch: Gojiberry and the founders have been under a lot of scrutiny on social media lately. Maybe it’s because of their hyper growth. They have grown like crazy. Still I feel it’s a good opportunity.
How to apply: DM your CV to @romanbuildsaas on X.
Job 4: Scriptwriters for YouTube Channels
Who's hiring: Daniel Faraday (@FaradayYouTube) — founder of AttentionGrow, which runs YouTube channels claiming 50M+ combined subscribers and 2.7 billion views.
The role: Copywriting / scriptwriting for YouTube content. "Great base pay + bonuses" — no numbers given. There's an $800 referral bounty if you tag someone they hire.
Who this is for: Writers who understand YouTube retention writing — hooks, open loops, payoff structure. Different skill from blog writing.
The catch: "Great pay" with no number usually means "negotiable," which usually means "depends how cheap you'll go." Anchor high. Also note: he explicitly says do NOT DM — reply to the post instead. Read the instructions; half the applicants won't.
How to apply: Reply to his pinned hiring post on X (@FaradayYouTube). Do not DM.
My take:
The real lesson in this issue isn't these four jobs — it's the channel. X hiring posts get a few thousand views and a handful of serious applicants. A LinkedIn listing gets 3,000 applicants in 48 hours. Same job, 100x less competition. If you want remote work, 15 minutes a day searching X for "we're hiring" + "DMs open" in your skill area beats an hour on job boards.
Pro tip: When you DM, lead with proof, not a pitch. "Here are 3 beehiiv newsletters I designed" beats "I'm passionate about design and would love to connect" every single time. Founders hiring via DM are optimizing for speed — make their decision easy.
