Looking for advice on landing first remote job after a major career pivot (previously in sports coaching, sport science, and higher education)

Hi all!

I’m 34 years old, living & working in Spain as a postdoc researcher (PhD in sport science) and I decided to make a major pivot in my career — a full time remote (or hybrid) job.

Although I’m very hungry and excited about this next step, what I struggle with is: A. Unsure if I have enough transferable skills to land or persuade it for my first remote job yet; B. Which roles I should ideally be applying for given my background & goals.

Any tips or advice would immensely appreciated!

For reference:

Transferable skills; – Project management (eg, product R&D, and multi year projects) – Technical writing – Market research & reporting – Data management & analytics – Science communication – High performance team management & operations

Tools stack: – Zoho stack (Zoho creator, Zoho analytics, etc.) – the main Microsoft & Google tools – BI tools (tableau, Zoho analytics, etc) – Neuroptics NPI-200: pupillometry technology (my PhD topic) – Zapier, Make, N8N, etc for automations – WordPress

AI/agentic tools stack: – Langflow – Flowise – Langsmith – Lovable, Replit, Bolt.new for building micro SaaS

Databases: – Supabase – Excel – Postgres / SQL databases – MongoDB – Google & Amazon cloud services (basic) – Zoho databases

Project building: I created a web app that allows people to measure, analyze, and rewire their spoken thoughts in real time (“Real Time Self-Talk Assistant”). It’s coded with help of Lovable, in React, Typescript, CSS, etc with Supabase backend and edge functions, Auth, and huggingface, openAI models for ML & LLM inferences + hierarchical multi agent system made in flowise. Using websockets and asynchronous conditional logic to achieve real time feedback while users are speaking to themselves.

Side note: I genuinely enjoy everything about tech and happy to learn new skills whenever. I’m very passionate about working with mission-driven people, and all things related to “the human mind” (psychophysiology, neuroscience, cognitive sciences, etc). Eventually I’d like to use my skills to launch a startup in the mental health/performance space, but as a bridge to that venture, I think a remote job would help me gain more stability, growth, clarity, peace of mind, and networks while working on startup as a side project / stealth mode.
