5 Work-From-Anywhere Remote Jobs Hiring In 2025
There's in-office work. There's hybrid work. There's remote work. And then there's work-from-anywhere, a different breed of remote work that is location-independent.
Even though it can be more difficult to find jobs that freely allow you to work from any part of the country or the world, this type of work model is becoming increasingly popular, and more employers, especially start-ups keen on attracting global talent, are including this as part of their hiring strategy.
Google searches for 'work from anywhere' have been steadily rising since 2020, the year of the pandemic. Workers began to get a taste of what it would be like to carry out their jobs flexibly from their chosen location and since then, searches have surged from 17 points on the Google Trends tracker during April 2020, to 94 points this year in February.
FlexJobs recently released their Remote Work Economy Index, and their report highlighted the jobs that have had the most work-from-anywhere remote opportunities posted within the first quarter of this year. They stated, "Between January and March 2025, the most common categories for work-from-anywhere jobs included:
If you're looking for a job that doesn't require you to live in a specific state or country, there are a few important things you need to know first:
Borderless hiring is often unsupported because companies are worried about tax and legal hiring/benefits implications in different countries. To combat this, innovative employers will often use global payroll compliance platforms like Deel and Oyster to support hiring and managing talent across the world.
Additionally, some roles simply cannot inherently be work-from-anywhere due to their nature and some geographical restrictions that are imposed to protect data privacy. You'll need to consider whether the nature of your role can be carried out from any location or whether it's best to simply consider remote work in your state or country at the most.
Just because you can work from anywhere, doesn't necessarily imply that you can work at any time. While remote companies that have a work-from-anywhere policy offer a large degree of flexibility, there will most likely be some time-zone restrictions to ensure ease of collaboration and for participation in team and client/stakeholder meetings. So you may find that the job ad states, 'To be considered you must live in Central/Eastern Time zones' or "You must live in Europe". This is broad enough to allow you to move or work where you wish.
Finally, although working from anywhere gives you freedom (and you could even consider becoming a digital nomad), with increased freedom comes increased responsibility and accountability. This means that to succeed in these roles and to stand out to the hiring manager as an aptly qualified candidate, you'd need to demonstrate skills like:
If you're wondering what companies are currently hiring for these work-from-anywhere roles, you can check out a full list here. Make 2025 the year you change your work model and embrace full flexibility in your career.

Bonfire's new software lets users build their own social communities, free from platform control
Bonfire Social, a new framework for building communities on the open social web, launched on Thursday during the FediForum online conference. While Bonfire Social is a federated app, meaning it's powered by the same underlying protocol as Mastodon (ActivityPub), it's designed to be more modular and more customizable. That means communities on Bonfire have more control over how the app functions, which features and defaults are in place, and what their own roadmap and priorities will include. There's a decidedly disruptive bent to the software, which describes itself as a place where 'all living beings thrive and communities flourish, free from private interest and capitalistic control.' In other words, its mission is to build social software where people get to make the decisions, not big tech platform makers like Meta or Google. The organization itself runs as a nonprofit funded by donations and grants, and it doesn't take venture capital. Its code is open source, and it works in collaboration with the communities and researchers that use it to build and enhance online digital spaces. Bonfire Social, now offered as a 1.0 Release Candidate ahead of the public release, is just one representation of what Bonfire offers. Bonfire calls it a 'flavor.' Image Credits:Bonfire Each flavor is a preconfigured bundle of Bonfire extensions, features, and defaults, sort of like a starting template. When a community opts to run a particular 'flavor,' it gets to govern the app as it sees fit, adding its own extensions and determining its own roadmap for product changes. This puts the social software back under users' control, instead of being subject to the whims of a platform maker with an ever-changing feature sets and algorithms. The organization is already developing other flavors like Bonfire Community and Open Science, and the Bonfire software lets any other community create their own version.

Berkeley, CA | REGISTER NOW In Bonfire Social, users will recognize familiar features, like feeds and tools to follow users, share posts, create user profiles, flag or block content, and more. Image Credits:Bonfire However, it also offers other tools and features that traditional social networks may not have, like tools for customizing feeds, support for nested discussions, the ability to host multiple profiles per user, rich-text posts, and access control features. Custom feeds are a key differentiation between Bonfire and traditional social media apps. Though the idea of following custom feeds is something that's been popularized by newer social networks like Bluesky or social browsers like Flipboard's Surf, the tools to actually create those feeds are maintained by third parties. Bonfire instead offers its own custom feed-building tools in a simple interface that doesn't require users to understand coding. To build feeds, users can filter and sort content by type, date, engagement level, source instance, and more, including something it calls 'circles.' Image Credits:Bonfire Those who lived through the Google+ era of social networks may be familiar with the concept of Circles. On Google's social network, users organized contacts into groups, called Circles, for optimized sharing. That concept lives on at Bonfire, where a circle represents a list of people. That can be a group of friends, a fan group, local users, organizers at a mutual aid group, or anything else users can come up with. These circles are private by default but can be shared with others. Another unique feature on Bonfire Social is Boundaries, which let you control who can see or engage with your content. For instance, you could share a post with a number of your circles, but only allow one specific circle's members to comment. Image Credits:Bonfire Bonfire also supports threaded conversations (nested discussions) where replies can branch out into their own sub-threads. This can be useful for communities where deeper discussions and collaboration are more valuable than those where everyone competes for attention. Image Credits:Bonfire Plus, Bonfire users can customize the app using one of the 16 built-in themes, or they can design their own layout and pick their own colors and fonts. Accounts on Bonfires can also host multiple profiles that have their own followers, content, and settings. This could be useful for those who simply prefer to have both public and private profiles, but also for those who need to share a given profile with others — like a profile for a business, a publication, a collective, or a project team. Image Credits:Bonfire Other features available at launch include PWA support for mobile devices, community blocklists, custom emoji support, full-text search (with opt out), direct messages, private group discussions (also with nested threads), and more. Extensions, which add different features, can be enabled or disabled by both admins and users. Admins simply decide what the defaults are. That means users could turn on or off features they don't like, even core features such as likes or boosts (the federated version of the retweet/repost). Because Bonfire is built on ActivityPub, it also federates with Mastodon, Peertube, Mobilizon, and others. The software is meant to be self-installed, though work to develop a hosting network is under way. For those who just want to kick the tires, a demo instance is available.

Google says its updated Gemini 2.5 Pro AI model is better at coding
Google on Thursday announced an update to its Gemini 2.5 Pro preview model that the company claims is better at certain programming tasks. The company's calling it an "updated preview," building on the upgrade to Gemini 2.5 Pro that Google announced around a month ago. Google says the model will roll out in general availability in a "couple of weeks," and is available starting today in its AI developer platforms AI Studio and Vertex AI and the Gemini app. "[Gemini 2.5 Pro] continues to excel at coding, leading on difficult coding benchmarks," Google writes in a blog post. "It also shows top-tier performance [on] highly challenging benchmarks that evaluate a model's math, science, knowledge, and reasoning capabilities." So what else is new? Google says it addressed feedback from its previous 2.5 Pro release, improving the model's style and structure. Now, 2.5 Pro can be "more creative with better-formatted responses," Google claims.

Alberta government walks back beer tax hike citing tariffs, need to support business
EDMONTON - Alberta's government has ditched a new fee schedule for breweries that would have seen the province's oldest beer maker pay significantly more in taxes. The schedule was introduced in February and it substantially lowered the production threshold breweries needed to hit before they had to pay higher fees to the government. Service Alberta Minister Dale Nally said at the time that the fee hike was supposed to protect small breweries and that '99 per cent' of companies wouldn't pay more. Calgary-based Big Rock Brewery didn't fall under the 99 per cent, and the company calculated it was going to pay $1.4 million more every year. Nally's office says the government decided to lower the fees in light of U.S. tariffs and to ensure small breweries are supported as they grow. The province replaced the fee system as of June 1 in favour of a schedule of more gradual increases. This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 5, 2025. Error!
