Here are some of the best platforms to find flexible and well-paid tech jobs:

1. Braintrust

Braintrust is a tech cooperative that connects experienced freelancers with top tech companies. If you have at least five years of experience, you can apply to join the network. Unlike most platforms, Braintrust charges no fees to job seekers. Instead, they add a 10% fee to client bills to cover network expenses. Freelancers keep 100% of their rates.

2. FreeUp

FreeUp is known for its rigorous screening process—freelancers joke that it’s like going through airport security in a war zone. But once you pass the screening, you’ll have access to a variety of projects from employers. To take on a project, you’ll chat with the client for 10 to 15 minutes, after which they’ll decide if they want to hire you. Freelancers rave about the work and competitive pay once they’re in.

3. Fiverr

Though Fiverr started as a platform for low-cost services, it has evolved into a more sophisticated site for skilled professionals. The key to earning well on Fiverr is to join its Pro Network. Once approved, you’ll get a “Pro” badge that helps you command higher rates for your services. However, it’s important to be specific and careful about how you list your services to stand out and attract the right clients.
