Local Nerd jobs · Edmond & North OKC
North and east of the metro is Edmond, Guthrie, Arcadia, Jones, Luther, Piedmont, Cashion, Crescent and out to Kingfisher, Okarche, Meeker and Prague. It is one of the strongest customer bases we have, and it is also the market that currently props up Stillwater and the Enid side on long drives. We are hiring here.
In-person visits are open across this whole market, in every travel band that has towns in it. We are still hiring here: an open market has evenings, weekends and days nobody is covering, and a market running on one calendar has no backup when that calendar is full.
Remote help by phone and screen-share already works at every address in this market, and it is part of the job wherever you are. What a Local Nerd living here adds is the half that cannot be done down a phone line. See what customers here are told on the Edmond page.
15 towns are measured off the Edmond anchor: 11 within 25 miles, 4 in the 25 to 50 mile band. They sit in Oklahoma, Logan, Canadian and Kingfisher counties. Every market reaches 75 miles in three travel bands, and the farther bands pay a higher hourly rate because the drive is longer. You choose which bands you take, and you can change it later.
11 towns. Edmond, Oklahoma City, Arcadia, Guthrie, Jones, Cashion, Piedmont, Luther, Meridian, Crescent, Wellston.
4 towns. Okarche, Meeker, Kingfisher, Prague.
Not sure which market your town belongs to? Apply for the city nearest you and tell us exactly where you live. The markets are built to overlap, most of Oklahoma sits inside two or three of them at once, and you tell us which queues you want bookings from.
Edmond and Guthrie are the core: comfortable houses, a lot of smart-home gear that somebody installed and nobody understands, and customers who want it done properly rather than cheaply. North and west of that it thins out into acreages and small towns where the router is at the wrong end of a long house. The second band reaches far enough that some of these drives are the ones keeping a neighboring unopened market alive.
You keep the majority of every booking, and 100% of every tip. You see the split up front. Tips are paid out weekly with no commission taken.
You set your own availability. Open the times that suit you in your own calendar. A few evenings a week or full time, that part is your call.
Bookings come to you. When you are marked available, customers book your open time directly, with buffer time built in around each visit.
Nobody negotiates money at the door. Every booking takes a deposit up front and holds the card. The customer signs off on your phone at the end and the rest charges itself.
You are independent. Your own tools, any reliable and presentable vehicle, and free to work elsewhere whenever you like.
You are not on an island. An OkieNerd email and calendar, a team that meets over video, and other Local Nerds to ask when something is strange.
Only their near edges, on long drives, and that is exactly the problem. Both are their own markets with no Local Nerd in them. If you live out that way, apply to the one you actually live in.
Pick the anchor nearest your house and tell us your ZIP on the form. The three metro markets overlap, and you tell us which queues you want to take bookings in.
Start to finish usually takes about one to two weeks, depending on scheduling and how fast your background check clears.
Apply online. About five minutes. No resume needed.
A real person reads it. Not a filter. If it looks like a fit, we reach out.
Interview. A video chat to meet you and walk through the role together.
Background check, and we pay for it. Only after we have talked. You enter your details with the screening provider, never with us.
Onboarding, and you are live. Your OkieNerd account, Nerd HQ, your calendar and a short orientation, then your first booking.

Start your applicationMarkets with nobody in them are listed first. If your town is not the one on this page, it is almost certainly on one of these.
This page describes an independent contractor opportunity and is not an offer of employment. Local Nerds are independent contractors, not employees: you set your own availability, use your own tools and vehicle, and are free to work elsewhere. Compensation is a revenue share paid on completed bookings. Nothing on this page guarantees any level of income or booking volume, in this market or any other.
