This year, Amazon was named by LinkedIn as one of the most attractive employers in America, with perks and benefits that include paid time off and a $5,000 check if you decide to quit.

For those who think the e-commerce behemoth could be the place for them, FlexJobs has sorted through its list of online postings to see what positions at Amazon offer great pay as well as a remote or telecommuting option. Salary data is from Payscale, and the descriptions are directly from the job listings provided by Amazon.

Check the list below to see what high-paying, flexible positions you may want to apply to:

Exactly. Don’t bother with Amazon.

Microsoft hires mainly Indians, what with Satya. It’s becoming so well known that you’re pretty lucky to get hired if you are not one, says a friend of mine who is there.

Then, if you’re not leftist, well there’s that.

Getting more and more difficult as a conservative middle-aged white guy to land anything.

I managed an international project (UK, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Mexico) with only email and a conference line, all while sitting at my desk in World Headquarters. Only made ONE trip to visit, and that was more of a “Thank you tour” after it was all over.

Having said that - There is NO WAY they would let me telecommute! I had to drive to the office every day to manage something I could have managed from my back porch... (or my front porch, or my breakfast table...)
