#getfedihired

Hiiii! After unexpectedly finding myself without a job for the first time in my professional career, I am looking for a new role effective immediately - one where I can do good, period. 🌟 PREFERRED ROLES (non-exhaustive!): ▪️Writer: technical, reports, newsletters, deep dives, articles ▪️Teacher/tutor: #German, #linguistics, language study; data analytics & literacy, #statistics ▪️Coach: #academia to what’s beyond; personal development; organization; task & project management; app setups & ecosystems ▪️Data analyst / data scientist ▪️Researcher / policy #analyst 🏢 PREFERRED INDUSTRIES & AREAS: ▪️Non-profit/not-for-profit & #advocacy. Broadly speaking: more just, sustainable, more good ▪️Tutoring, coaching, education (software, tools, instruction), academia ▪️Civic good, municipal affairs, local journalism, urbanism, environment/ecology ▪️Small tech/tech for good, FOSS/FLOSS, privacy, digital sovereignty ▪️Disaster management/prevention, emergency operations (I have work, volunteer, and/or education/training experience in all of these categories - happy to share more!) 💪🏼 I’LL BE A FANTASTIC FIT IF: ▪️You suspect there’s a story in a heap of #data, but don’t know what it is - or how to coax it out. I’ll find it for ya. ▪️You need great visuals and tailored communication for any audience: clear academic reports, engaging tech newsletters, gentle introductions to complex topics, keynotes - I love ‘em all. ▪️You need someone to dig deep. I naturally follow up on every “huh, that’s odd - let me see what’s really going on there!” ▪️You want a critical thinker who gives honest advice. You’ll get the real deal. ▪️You like saying what you mean and talking to each other like real people. I can speak corporate, but I’d prefer leaving that seven-layer dip of jargon behind! ▪️Bonus: You suspect corporate AI may soon be unaffordable for most organizations, or the bubble may burst, and need someone who can do excellent work without chatbot crutches if needed. ⛔️ NOT LOOKING FOR: ▪️Roles where I’m expected to rubber-stamp work, go through the motions, or “put the data fries in the bag.” ▪️Cultures where manufactured emergencies are the norm and there’s no time to think, explore, or dig deep. ▪️Jobs where you can’t tell me what good I’ll do or where my positive impact will be. 🖥️ PREFERRED SETTING: ▪️Remote, flexible hours ▪️Contracts/project work; very open to a portfolio-style career ▪️Hybrid or “we get together sometimes” roles in the #Edmonton area ▪️I’m not chasing the corporate ladder; impact matters more. If it’s a good fit, I don’t care whether it comes with a “Senior” label. #boostOK, and if you do, I’ll send all the good vibes so there may never again be an unexpected item in your bagging area. 💜 Hiring, or know someone who is? Please get in touch! [Illustration by maarij aulakh on Pixabay] #getFediHired #fediJobs #jobs

So, uh, job search update: About a month ago now, I pleaded on mastodon for help. I didn’t really have a goal in mind. I was just miserable at work, not getting paid enough to do too much work. I posted a big long, rambling post that ended with, effectively, “will someone please help me” A lot of you reached out, actually. It was a truly overwhelming outpouring of help. And I _definitely_ got overwhelmed by it. I’m sure I dropped at least a few opportunities right on the floor. If you’ve been waiting to hear from me and haven’t, I am truly sorry. Today I just filled out the forms to start a new job, and it happened because someone reached out to me after reading my post. My first day is in a little less than a month. On top of it being a welcome escape from my current position, it happens to be _literally_ a dream job of mine. #getFediHired works. If you’re on here, and you’re losing hope, know that it works. There is a way out for you. You’re not in this alone. If you’re not trying to get out of your current job, or you’re not actively looking, I urge you to check out the hashtag anyway. Boost folks. Send them leads. It works.

It's been made clear to me that one of the reasons I was hired for this job is my boss read the README files of some of my OSS projects and was impressed at how clear and detailed a writer I am. Just in case you thought written-English wasn't a useful skill for a developer: It got me this job. Work on your writing skills if you want to survive in tech. #Programming #GetFediHired #Writing

I'm looking to hire a project manager! I'm working on a project with materials scientists and physicists to build stacked quantum heterostructures, which have potential interesting properties as semiconductors, etc. It's a crazy process that involves crystal growers, driving microscopes with an Xbox controller, a adiabatic demagnetization refrigerators, and exfoliation with scotch tape. We need a project manager to help us ... well, manage the project. Apply at: https://utah.peopleadmin.com/postings/209788 Fine to ask me questions here or at ricci at cs dot utah.edu #getfedihired

#GetFediHired #FediHire : I'm looking for a job (EU-remote, preferably part-time). I have 12+ years of experience in security, from PhD to security engineer and security architect. I know my way around #ThreatModelling, #appsec , Hashicorp #Vault, #devsecops , #Kubernetes security, #Gatekeeper, infrastructure/#cloudsecurity, IAM/RBAC, #Keycloak and many other things. Also I'm able to pick up new things fairly quickly. I'm generally quite thorough, and good at paying attention to details (which I think is essential in security). If you need some experienced security engineer or architect, or know someone who does, let's talk!

Most devs I know are in the #PHP world – but I have a lead for a python & flutter dev with a good eye for security and (odd as it may sound) astrology! Please DM me if you can do this, or can recommend someone! #GetFediHired

personal experience:

• networking
• linux system administration (desktop and server)

#GetFediHired #FediHire

Folks, does anyone have any work? It's becoming urgent for me to find more work now. I'm trying. I need at least €1500 by the end of next week. I am going to try and get a loan today, but I'm not sure if that will even be possible. I'll do software dev, embedded dev, simple PCBs, QA of software, Small part CAD Designs, pixel art, take minutes of meetings. Anything please. #getfedihired #underemployed

Probability of wanting to switch jobs soon has gone from "maybe" to "extremely likely" recently, so now public and boostable:

I'm looking for work. Software engineer, 14 years experience working on various SaaS things in various languages and frameworks, lots of linux sysadmin/electronics/firmware experience from side projects which I'd also be happy to put to use.

DM me for a resume if your company hires that sort of person.

Filters:

• based in Olympia, WA (US Pacific time zone, UTC-7/8), cannot relocate
• strongly prefer fully-remote, occasional travel within the US is okay
• not willing to work on military stuff
• I'm openly trans, company must be generally okay with that (that's the whole requirement, just "be okay with that", I ask for nothing more)
• I am currently paid $180K/year, but I'm past the "salary is less important than mental health" part of the diminishing-returns curve here so shrug

Hey, so, anyone out there looking to hire a remote nerd? I've spent the past 4-5 years doing threat hunting, detection engineering, threat intel, and incident response for large US West utilities. Gotta be full WFH though due to health reasons. Non-LinkedIn, non-ghost job links appreciated. Edit to add that I did a bit of vuln management too. That's something that I think you can ask fellow fedi friends about since I was sharing so much of it here for a while. #getFediHired

Guys I'm looking for a job in the Netherlands, preferably Randstad. I'm a C# .NET developer, also worked with Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM. I have also done graphic design and social media management. #getfedihired

I'm looking for work, please boost! I'm a software engineer with 35 years of experience. I've worked across an unusually wide range of domains: mobile game backends, privacy-preserving data platforms, high-throughput COVID testing infrastructure, email and account systems, e-payment processing, job marketplace systems, and bioinformatics. I pick up new domains quickly and have a history of doing it repeatedly. I understand how to turn business needs into engineering requirements. I prefer to work remotely but I am open to an in-office job in the Philadelphia area or especially in Philadelphia itself. I've often worked remotely since the 1990s and can operate with minimal supervision. Several of my favorite projects were self-directed: I identified the need, built the thing, and shipped it. My preferred time zone is America/New_York, but I'm flexible. Some of the many, many technologies I've used are: Python, Perl, TypeScript/JavaScript, Haskell, Go, C, Java. Postgres, MySQL, SQLite. Flask, SQLAlchemy. AWS (Lambda, S3, RDS, SQS, EC2). Docker, Git. Github and Gitlab. I've also repeatedly picked up new languages and stacks as needed: Haskell for differential privacy research, TypeScript for a 24/7 AWS Lambda system, Flask for my most recent employer. I've become productive with new systems over and over, and I can do it quickly. I'm a published author (Higher-Order Perl, Morgan Kaufmann), longtime blogger, and conference speaker with a reputation for making complex ideas clear. I am a U.S. citizen.

RE: https://aus.social/@wale/116452650633056626 Hello! Unfortunately I'm still looking to #getfedihired as a junior-to-mid level fullstack developer, preferably based in Victoria or on the eastern seaboard of Australia. See the thread below for a short overview of my past work, and you can shoot me a private DM for my resume. Thanks! #FediHire #fediHire_au

So I'm never going to ask the Fedi for money directly, but we are right out at the edge of our asses and it might soon be time to sell the house, which will only make the problems much worse. So here's a little #GetFediHired toot cause I ain't done that in a while, and I absolutely am available at rates that normal people can afford for small jobs - if I can hustle up 20 more hours/wk of work at my schoolbus wage, we will probably stay afloat until I find a real job again. Mainly, I'm a Linux/Unix greybearded (hair remains stubbornly dark for some reason) wizard who can run for you a single or thousands of servers, using whatever stack you want. The only reason I don't have much in the way of public servers (ie. Fedi instances of my own) is that I literally doubt my ability to manage the money costs of even the tiniest server, under current circumstances. I don't stand up anything that can't disappear forever with nobody but me noticing. I have done this professionally though. My main strength with systems, besides being willing to RTFM however boring, is that I can script every job away with great facility, so you might well have need of me and not even know it. Is there a thing you do every day that is the same steps every time, on a computer? I bet that if we sit and talk for a few minutes, I could figure out a way that a fairly quick Python script (again, my rates are very reasonable at the moment) could give you back hours of your life. Side note: If any orgs that are funding Fediverse servers out there want specifically to sponsor a Fedi server for Manitoba's Interlake region, supporting Mastodon, Lemmy and probably PixelFed, I already have interlake.online ready to setup and would not take money for the hours spent managing it. Just, if I could have those hosting costs guaranteed by something other than my bad credit, servers is what I do with my time anyways, every day. I can also teach you about Unix systems, help you internalize the concepts, etc - if you have been seeking a tutor for Linux/Unix servers, I am your guy. Identify your end goal ("I want to host all my own media and use Jellyfin," for instance) and I will walk you through the steps and concepts involved. In most cases, it will be pretty darn simple, probably, after you get comfortable with a few things. That said, I specialize in the hopeless cases - I once was handed a guy who had risen through union ranks and never touched a computer and kinda refused to, until this new position, in which he absolutely had to, but was genuinely ignorant of everything, everything about them. After three days with me, in which we drilled on the very very basics ("this is a mouse..."), he told me he was going out to buy himself a computer. I think it was realizing how useful google search... used to be. I am not a hacker or security expert, not suitable for your colour teams or whatever. I know how to sanely secure a network and ensure data integrity, but as MWL puts it, nothing is secure, everything is horrible. We take our snapshots, do our backups, and be ready so when someone messes up, all I gotta do is restore the backups and everything is going again the same day. There's no beating them all the time everywhere, there's just being ready and solidly protected for the slipups. Anyways, other than that I am musical and can knock off any non-gatekept music format you can provide a sample of. Like, if you want a song that hits more or less like your favorite metal track for your podcast theme, I can make a similar but original riff/orchestration, as long as the thing is comprehendable through "normal" music theory (meter, key, etc, are all stably defined is what I mean)). I'm sitting in my music studio's control room as I type, it doubles as my work from home office. Might be someone else's music studio soon I guess. Can teach guitar and basics of some other instruments. No Music degree, just talent and years of doing it, see notes above on my teaching ability. I will keep you excited, doing the songs you want to learn. And I'm not a bad rhetorician. If you need strong verbiage for any reason, show me the style you need and I can produce text for you. Obviously most people will be using LLMs for that last one especially, but it absolutely is a talent of mine, as long as I fully understand what is desired. I can imitate most accents accurately if I listen to them for a while, but I can do that with text also. I live in Manitoba, Canada, as you might have guessed, open to remote work in most places, subject to being able to verify your company actually exists. No AI used here, please respectfully do the same.

Are you great communicator? We have an opening for a writer for our websites and social media. The deadline is in 2 days! https://discourse.gnome.org/t/gnome-foundation-seeks-paid-content-writer/38817 #GetFediHired #FediHired #SocialMedia #Socials

I have just been informed by Dayjob that my position is being eliminated. They aren't punting me out the door immediately, they're at least giving me 60 days' notice, but they are nonetheless punting me out the door. So joy oh glee, I get to go back on the job market. 😩 And try to find whatever few positions may remain in tech that a) involve as little AI bullshit as possible, b) will let me work remote, and c) are actually willing to hire a worker within shouting distance of 60. #FediHire #GetFediHired

Let's review: I'm an SDET, Software Development Engineer in Test. Or STE, Software Test Engineer. Whatever the acronym being used is, it boils down to, I'm good at writing automation to test stuff. My most recent work has been in Python, Java, and Swift, and I've tested both web and mobile in my career. For mobile that's primarily meant IOS. I'm experienced at manual testing and will absolutely not turn down any positions that involve THAT. I also write excellent wiki pages and documentation. If you want to see a live example of a wiki I've been the primary author for, let me direct you to: https://tuxborn.org/wiki/home/ Get me engaged on a topic and I will document the daylights out of it, is what I'm saying here. #FediHire #GetFediHired
