Please boost

As part of a wave of layoffs, I got laid off from my backend development job last month as the company's financials I was working with have been steadily decreasing. I applied for another job shortly after, and after a month of interviews and an honestly great response from their team, at the last minute, they told me that they were focusing their hiring efforts away from the US and towards Singapore. With Calckey donations, I don't have enough money to pay for rent or groceries. So I'm asking to
#GetFediHired, I'm the lead developer on the Calckey project, and I'm a fullstack, multi-language developer. I have 3+ years of enterprise experience, and I work great on teams as well as solo. Resume and references available upon request.
Some extra details:

- I'm open to both part time and full time work.
- I'm proficient in many tech stacks, and I'm experienced in making fullstack web applications. Familiar with React/React-like frameworks, Vue/Nuxt, Astro, JS/TS, Rust, and Python
- I also do IT and sysadmin, familiar with many Linux and FreeBSD tools as well as bash and Python scripting.
- I'm currently based out of Los Angeles, California, and I'm open to remote, hybrid, and fully in person, as well as relocation.

Not sure which stacks you prefer, but my employer is hiring (assuming on Monday we don't hear that we're SVB victims).

We've got a staff engineer position open https://servicetitan.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/ServiceTitan/job/US-Remote/Staff-Software-Engineer_JR105066) and a few senior engineer positions - though those are more dotnet focussed.

I'm also in OC and happy to answer any questions. Been here a year and really like it.

@kainoa
Should also mention that the company is almost fully remote. I've been to the Glendale HQ only once and that was for a voluntary team lunch (and most of my workday was driving and no one said boo about that). Good pay, great benefits. Varied stack though on the JavaScript side we're pretty strongly into react with mobx
@kainoa
Backend is almost entirely dotnet, though new projects are trying other stuff and acquisitions of course have brought in different stacks. All running in k8s. We're looking for folks across the spectrum. Feel free to HMU if you're interested or have questions. Happy to chat via DM, zoom/facetime, or meet for coffee on me since you're local.

@kainoa I hope you find something amazing! 😊

@kainoa

Sorry to hear this.
I can tell you that e. g. #Germany is desperately looking to fill tens of thousands of #IT experts. (96k as of 01/22*)

Here is a site that offers some of them in English.

In most bigger companies, work will be done in English.

Maybe an idea.

@kainoa Have you considered applying for grants to continue your work on Calckey? I know they are out there, but not the easiest to navigate. Some other Fedi projects like @bonfire have grant funding.

Dev Diary: Implementing federated groups in Bonfire

As part of our commitment to empower communities with tools to foster coordination, we are thrilled to announce the development of federated groups in Bonfire.

@box464 @bonfire sadly nlnet seems to be Europe only, I couldn't find any similar FOSS grants for the US :(

@kainoa may be worth looking at https://ffdweb.org/ - they seem to fund a wide range of projects (not only Blockchain things)
Good luck!
