Remote full-time data jobs through an employer of record
Updated Oct 2026
A full-time remote data job with a company abroad often uses an employer of record (EOR). The EOR employs you locally, runs payroll and benefits, while you do the work for the client company.
carbon.talent lists data and AI roles, including full-time. Create your free profile to be ready when a role fits.
What an EOR arrangement means for you
- You are employed by Carbon's EOR partner Deel, not always by the client company directly.
- Salary, tax withholding and local compliance follow the EOR and your country rules.
- Day-to-day work, manager and product goals come from the client team.
- Overlap hours are usually set on the role so both sides know the shared working window.
This is common when a company wants a full-time data hire abroad without opening its own entity in your country.
