Remote Jobs in AI & Cybersecurity: Top Companies Hiring Fully Remote in 2025

The Remote Work Revolution in AI & Cybersecurity

The last few years have accelerated two powerful trends: Companies embracing remote-first or remote-friendly models, and high-growth tech domains (AI + cybersecurity) that are inherently digital and globally accessible.

• For AI: Job portals show thousands of fully remote roles under “Artificial Intelligence (AI) – Remote”. (Indeed)
  
  

• For cybersecurity: Listings show hundreds if not thousands of remote openings, including salaries in the $110 K-$175 K range for U.S. candidates. (ZipRecruiter)
  
  

• Aggregators like Built In list hundreds of remote‐hiring companies in AI and cybersecurity. (Built In)
  
  

Why is this happening? Because remote work gives companies access to global talent, cost arbitrage, flexibility, and often better retention. And for job-seekers, especially those in India or other non-U.S. markets, this means the playing field has expanded dramatically.

But “remote” doesn’t always mean anywhere. Some companies hire remote only in certain time zones, or require occasional travel. So while the opportunity is real, so is the competition.

Who’s Hiring Remotely for AI?

If you’re searching for ai remote jobs, the options today are very real and varied. Let’s review what you’ll find and how to approach them.

Job volume & market snapshot

• A major job-board (e.g., “Remote Artificial Intelligence (AI) Jobs” on We Work Remotely) lists 37,230+ remote AI jobs. (We Work Remotely)
  
  

• Listings explicitly tagged “AI companies hiring remote” show hundreds of organisations (926 in the Built In listing) in 2025. (Built In)
  
  

• Remote AI job boards (e.g., RemoteAi.io, AI/ML Jobs) highlight high-paying senior roles in machine learning, LLM/agent technologies. (RemoteAi.io)
  
  

Sample company profiles

While I won’t list all companies (the list is long), here are typical pointers:

• Startup-to-mid size AI firms (e.g., those building ML platforms, models, agentic systems) actively hire remote engineers, data scientists, prompt engineers.
  
  

• Larger firms with established AI & data-science practices (for example Accenture) have AI/data science careers globally. (Accenture)
  
  

• Remote/fully-distributed companies (for example Zapier) that have been remote-by-default also list AI-adjacent remote roles. (Wikipedia)
  
  

Why this is good for job-seekers (especially India/Bengaluru)

• You can apply from anywhere (home, city, state) — geography is less of a barrier if you meet the skills and timezone requirements.
  
  

• Currency arbitrage: some global firms pay U.S./global salaries or competitive remote-market salaries.
  
  

• For Bengaluru-based tech talent, this opens doors beyond the local job market — you’re competing internationally.
  
  

Things to watch

• Ensure the role is 100% remote (not “remote with occasional office visits” or “remote but requires U.S. citizenship” unless you qualify).
  
  

• Time-zone compatibility: Some roles may expect overlap with U.S./Europe hours.
  
  

• Contracting vs employment: The hiring structure (employee vs contractor) often differs, impacting benefits, taxes, etc.
