Remote Job Strategy - SDE/SRE/DevOps/Backend 🌍

Landing a remote tech job from India isn't about applying harder - it's about applying smarter. Different companies, different positioning, different application channels. Let's build your actual playbook.

Who it's for: Students and early engineers (0–4 YOE) targeting remote roles as:

1. Software Engineer / SDE
2. Site Reliability Engineer (SRE)
3. DevOps / Platform Engineer
4. Backend Engineer
5. Cloud / Infrastructure Engineer

If you're applying to remote jobs and getting silence - or you don't know where to even start - this session is for you.

What we'll cover:

1. Where remote jobs actually exist - the company tiers that hire from India (and the ones that don't, no matter what their careers page says)
2. Channel strategy - LinkedIn, AngelList/Wellfound, Otta, RemoteOK, Hacker News, Twitter - which to prioritize for your level
3. Resume positioning for remote - what changes when the recruiter is in Berlin or San Francisco, not Bangalore
4. GitHub as your second resume - what remote-first companies actually click into and why
5. The cold outreach playbook - when to skip applications entirely and DM hiring managers directly
6. Interview pipelines - what to expect at each stage (screen, take-home, system design, behavioral) and how Indian candidates get filtered out
7. Compensation & negotiation - INR vs. USD/EUR offers, contractor vs. employee, what's normal at your level

You'll get:

1. A target company list - 15-25 companies actively hiring remote engineers at your level
2. A 30-day application plan - written, with weekly milestones
3. Channel-specific positioning notes - what to change on LinkedIn vs. AngelList vs. cold outreach
4. A cold outreach template - adapted to your background and target companies
5. Written follow-up doc - sent within 48 hours of the call

Don't book if: You haven't built any GitHub presence or technical foundation yet - book the Open-Source Career Roadmap instead. Remote jobs require a profile that proves you can work without supervision. We need something to position.

My background: SRE at Obmondo (Denmark-based company, fully remote from India). I went through this exact process - applying, getting filtered, figuring out what worked. Founder of Kerno and Sevro. I know which signals matter to remote-first hiring managers because I'm the kind of person they hire.
