Job description

Remote Interview Engineer Freelance Role - Worldwide — Remote

This Karat Interview Engineer role is one of the most nomad-friendly gigs available for experienced software engineers. As a contractor paid per task, you have near-total schedule autonomy — you pick the interview slots that fit your day, making this inherently async-friendly with no fixed office hours.

Timezone flexibility is a major plus: since you're scheduling individual interview sessions rather than committing to a 9-to-5 block, you can work from virtually any timezone. The only constraint is that live video interviews require a reliable internet connection, a working webcam, and a quiet environment — all standard nomad checklist items.

Visa considerations: Because this is a freelance/contractor engagement, you are responsible for your own work authorization. Popular nomad destinations like Portugal (D8 Digital Nomad Visa), Thailand (LTR Visa or tourist visa with periodic exits), and Colombia (digital nomad visa) all accommodate remote freelance income well. Just ensure your contract income complies with local tax rules.

• Lisbon/Portugal: Cost of living ~$2,000–$2,800/month — feasible even with moderate interview volume.
• Bangkok, Thailand: Cost of living ~$1,200–$1,800/month — excellent stretch for part-time earnings.
• Medellín, Colombia: Cost of living ~$1,000–$1,600/month — very accessible on freelance income.

Note: Karat rotates open countries, so verify eligibility on their site before applying from outside the U.S.

Karat is always seeking talented engineers across the world to join our Community.

This is a contractor/freelancer opportunity, and work is compensated based on tasks performed once you complete onboarding. We hire worldwide and rotate which countries we recruit in. If you're outside the U.S., check our website to see which countries are currently open.
