 Okay, time to do a public post finally. Last week Forem/DEV did a rather huge round of layoffs. My role was impacted, though in a way that means I am still employed for a short while there. I'm grateful for that and for my time there. So, folks of #fedihire #fedihired, I'm going to be back on the job market soon. Right now I'd like to prioritize contract and/or part-time (or maybe 4-day full-time) roles in systems, infra, devxp, and web backends. Open-source preferred. Boosts appreciated! ๐งต 3 comments
๐งต pt 3: This said, 4DWW full-time work gives me the kind of balance I seek in life, so *specifically* four-day roles in the W2/full-time space, I'm open to chatting about already. Alright, now for the logistical notes: - My resume is best found on LinkedIn right now while I tidy up the PDF version. https://linkedin.com/in/joshklar. I've got references, including specifically about my work at asynchronous and distributed companies and in the FOSS space, if needed. ๐งต pt4: I say "remote-only*" because I'm open to one or two days a month of IRL meetups in the PNW as necessary if they're productive and useful, but I'm not currently entertaining offers that involve RTO mandates on higher frequencies ("2-3 days a week in office", for example, is currently a dealbreaker, I may reconsider this later) And if it matters for your work somehow, I'm a US citizen and thus authorized to work for any US employer. No sec clearances and limited interest in dealing w/them |

๐งต pt2: I will, if freelance or part-time contracts don't surface, eventually head back onto the W2 full-time market. I'm fortunate to not immediately need to rush to do so, but expect me to probably start taking interviews to that end in late Oct through November if the sudden pivot into contracting doesn't play out.
But I do think I'd like to explore this free agency a bit and see if I can find a working arrangement that allows me to help many projects on flexible schedules, rather than just 1
