Himalayas

The story of Himalayas began with a simple, yet powerful realization by its founders: the world of work was changing, but the tools to navigate it were not. In 2020, as the global pandemic accelerated a massive shift towards remote work, the team behind Himalayas saw an opportunity to build a better bridge between talented professionals seeking freedom and innovative companies embracing a distributed workforce. They felt that existing job boards were clunky, outdated, and failed to capture the nuances of remote employment. What started as a passion project to create a job board they themselves would love to use has since blossomed into a comprehensive platform dedicated to the future of work. Their vision was clear: to design a frictionless, simple, and fast experience that connects job seekers directly with founders and hiring managers, cutting out the noise of third-party recruiters.

From its inception, Himalayas was built with a long-term perspective, aiming to be a fixture in the remote work landscape for decades to come. The founders, Abi Tyas Tunggal, Jack Walsh, and Jordan Hughes, have been transparent about their journey, building in public and sharing their growth openly. This philosophy extends to the platform itself, which is more than just a listing of jobs. It provides deep insights into company cultures, detailed tech stacks, and a clear outline of employee benefits, empowering job seekers to make informed decisions. Inspired by companies like Stripe, which recognized the need to be physically closer to their global user base, Himalayas champions the idea that a company's talent should be as distributed as its customers. This belief is woven into the fabric of their own company, with a remote-first team located in Australia, deeply embedded in the very work culture they advocate for. Today, Himalayas not only serves as a premier remote job board but also offers a suite of AI-powered tools to help candidates craft the perfect resume, prepare for interviews, and ultimately land their dream remote role.
