Built by someone who already did this

A remote job board focused on USD-paying roles for Indonesian professionals.

I'm Kelvin Desman. Software engineer, based in Jakarta, paid in dollars for the last decade by US and EU companies I never had to fly to.

Loker Dollar is the site I needed in 2014. Back then, finding remote roles open to Indonesians meant sifting through fifty global boards and learning the hard way which companies say "remote" but mean "remote, US." I'm building the version that didn't exist.

Why this exists

Three things bother me about how Indonesians find international jobs:

  1. The boards are wrong. Local boards skip USD roles. Global boards include US-only roles. Nobody filters the intersection.
  2. The advice is generic. Career sites tell Indonesians to "polish your LinkedIn." They don't explain how Wise routes USD payroll into a BCA account or what "EOR contract" means on a Deel offer letter.
  3. The tools assume you live in San Francisco. Most application tools default to US timezones, US date formats, US-style resumes. We default to yours.

How a job gets on this site

  1. Ingested. Daily pull from Lever, Greenhouse, Workable, RemoteOK, We Work Remotely, Hacker News "Who is Hiring," and direct feeds employers send us.
  2. Filtered. Auto-removes single-country visa locks, MLM patterns, ghost listings older than 60 days, and broken apply links.
  3. Reviewed. Editorial pass for spam, "fake remote," and listings that quietly require US residency in the body.
  4. Translated. Bahasa Indonesia summary added — title and key requirements at a glance.
  5. Posted. Stable URL that survives even after the employer pulls the listing.

What this site is not

  • Not a recruiter. I don't take a cut from employer hires. Job listings come from public feeds and direct partners; nobody pays for placement.
  • Not a guarantee. No site can promise an offer letter. I can promise the listings are real and the apply links work.
  • Not a coding bootcamp. Loker Dollar surfaces jobs and accelerates applications. The skills are still on you.
