IT is the field where remote work is most normal. Code lives in repositories, servers live in the cloud, and teams already talk in chat. Nepali developers work remotely for local companies and for clients abroad. Here is what the roles are and how to get one.
Common remote IT roles
Frontend developer: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and a framework such as React or Vue.
Backend developer: Node.js, Python, PHP, Java or Go, plus databases.
Full-stack developer: both sides, common in small teams.
Mobile developer: Flutter, React Native, Kotlin or Swift.
QA and test engineer: manual testing plus automation tools.
DevOps and cloud: Linux, Docker, CI pipelines and a cloud platform.
IT support: remote troubleshooting, accounts and devices.
UI/UX designer: Figma, user research and prototypes.
