Well my employer has decided to partner with Palantir, which means it's time for me to find a new job. I was a lot more willing to make 40% less than market rate when I knew my employer wasn't funding concentration camps because they want AI coding tools.

Anyway if you need a UX designer/researcher located around the Minneapolis-St. Paul region of Minnesota, USA who knows his way around US government regulations for CMS quality reporting, healthcare, enterprise software I'm looking!

For all of you who have been so incredibly helpful, I cannot thank you enough!

Useful hashtags for above post include

#fedihire #fedihired #getFediHired

No algorithms, hashtags increase engagement instead.

@kevinrns @halcyonloon

yea I got similar recommendations (also looking for a job atm), and people also said adding information on location (remote preference etc) also helps - plus links to bio/profile/CV :)
and pinning the post 📌

good luck!

@halcyonloon Maybe edit and add the fedihire fedihired getfedihired hashtags.

Steer clear of the bigger consulting houses - they're backfilling all those poor bastards they sacked a few weeks ago. It's horrible.

@halcyonloon you’re doing the right thing and I’m sorry that this burden has fallen on you, best wishes

You might add which government (where you are at in the world), too. Good luck on your search.

@PeterLG @halcyonloon Agree with this

@halcyonloon while you're still there and waiting, maybe throw a few cogs into the machine for us? It'd be a shame if that rollout went badly.

@halcyonloon It's amazing when, otherwise culturally-positive companies, fall over themselves for Palantir or Saudi money.

Monika Barget Jul 15, 2025

@dennisfaucher @halcyonloon Palantir sounds like something born on the Death Star or a major villain in Star Wars... 🤭

@mob or a crystal ball out of Tolkien

Monika Barget Jul 15, 2025

@NuanceRhymesWithOrange Not a Tolkien reader, so I didn't know they named it after that... Gosh! There's something about big (evil) tech fascination with scifi and fantasy for sure. Isn't Elon Musk playing the hero in his own scifi adventure, too?

Mike 🇨🇦 NuanceRhymesWithOrange Jul 15, 2025

@mob not much democracy in Tolkien. Mostly rulers with good bloodlines. It's a pretty conservative worldview.

@halcyonloon I see one for our UX team that’s technically based in Poland but it’s remote only so it’s possible there’s flexibility there. I can ping the manager tomorrow if you’re interested to see if there’s flexibility on work location: https://jobs.akamai.com/en/sites/CX_1/jobs/preview/422/?keyword=Ux&mode=location
