It’s time for another edition of WFA jobs!
I’ve identified the top 5 open jobs from my job board that I believe YOU have a chance of getting.
Let’s take a look at each one, including who the company is, what kind of job it is, why you should consider applying, and how I would recommend preparing (in addition to my usual recommendations).
Job #1
Job Link:
https://hitmarker.net/jobs/chucklefish-pixel-artist-contract-1443561
Why This Job:
Several of my readers are 2D artist of graphic designers. This is a job I believe one of you could handle.
Company Overview:
Chucklefish is a fun Indie Game studio that’s grown on the back of two mega hits: Starbound and Wargroove. They are also known for supporting other independent devs. Based on their website they are a fun and highly artistic bunch. Like many gaming studios, they do not have a presence on GlassDoor, but we believe it’s safe to assume they have a positive and upbeat culture. They also have a 4 day work week and don’t ascribe to “Crunch”, making them sound like a four leaf clover in the gaming world.
Job Type and Critical Requirements
This is an art position. You’ll need to be excellent at pixel art and a decent 2D artist overall, making characters and environments, working on taking feedback, and iterating frequently.
Who Should Consider Applying
Anyone with 2+ years of work experience as a 2D artist where at least 1 year was as a pixel artist.
How to Prepare Well
Get familiar with the hours, and take time to get to know their studio. Beyond the usual connecting on LinkedIn, play their games and dive deep into their art style, so you can understand what kind of work they are looking for you to do. Ideally create a few pieces based on their style to share ahead of the interview.
Job #2
Job Link:
https://weworkremotely.com/remote-jobs/unlimited-tech-solutions-digital-project-manager-hubspot-specialist
Why this Job:
The combination of project management experience and Hubspot experience is not unusual. I believe at least a few readers will have both, particularly if they have digital marketing experience.
Company Overview:
Unlimited Tech Solutions is an agency with a focus on digital marketing. They don’t really have a presence on Glass Door, so this is one you’ll have to look into yourself.
Job Type and Critical Requirements
This is a project management role that requires Hubspot experience. You’ll be working on setting up all things Hubspot in the background.
Who You Should Consider Applying
If you have Hubspot experience and project management experience, you should apply. This is a great position.
How to Prepare Well
Network. Follow this guide, but double or even triple the number of people you connect with.
In addition, try to read through their website thoroughly to really understand what they are about and what value they deliver to clients.
Job #3:

Why this Job:
There are several readers with a strong python background. This can be a job for one of you!
Company Overview
Close is a next gen CRM company. They seem very focused on automating the sales process as much as possible. On Glassdoor most people absolutely LOVE the company, though they are quick to admit that it is a demanding place to work. Be aware that there *may* be some odd founder behavior at Close.
Job Type and Critical Requirements
This is a Python backend position. You’ll be working with Flask, MongoDB, Postgres, and more.
Who Should Consider Applying
Anyone with 4+ years of Python backend experience.
How to Prepare Well
Read their whole website and really get to know their culture. It’s clear they put a premium on building a strong culture, and articulating your awareness of and genuine interest in their culture throughout the hiring process will really help you stand out.
Job #4
Job Link:
https://hitmarker.net/jobs/eneba-games-mobile-engineer-1268774
Why This Jobs:
This is a great opportunity for one of the many React Native developers in this community.
Company Overview
Eneba is a game marketplace. How this works is a little unclear, but it seems like they sell games across platforms. They seem to be an aggregator of game sales.
On Glassdoor they receive significant praise as being a relaxed but professional place to work. One thing that stands out is the relatively low compensation, but I’d advise ignoring this, as it’s most likely relative to the experience of the employee.
Job Type and Critical Requirements
This is a React Native mobile application development job. Most likely they want you to work on their m
Who Should Consider Applying
Anyone with 2+ years of React Native experience.
How to Prepare Well
Do your research on what their marketplace is, and whether or not there is already an app that they need improvements on. Take your time doing the research, and be as prepared as possible to share what you know about the company in the interview.
Job #5:
Job Link:
https://weworkremotely.com/remote-jobs/nine15-project-manager
Why This Jobs:
There are MANY e-commerce experts in this community, and this is a great job for someone with Shopify experience.
Company Overview
Nine15 is an agency that does e-commerce and design, based out of the US. There isn’t much about them online, other than their website, which is very client facing. You’ll need to find out for yourself what working for them is like.
Job Type and Critical Requirements
You’d be a project manager driving forward the execution of a variety of client projects on Shopify.
How to Prepare Well
For this one, do your best to look through their client portfolio and really understand what kind of people they like to work with! It will pay off if you can clearly articulate to them that you understand who they’ve worked with and how they approach their work.
And that’s it! I strongly encourage you to apply to one of these jobs. We’ve tried to provide opportunities for a range of types of people and experience levels. Good luck!
