grumpy effective sysadmin available immediately

having my position finally axed liquidated, i'm currently looking for a new position.

i am looking for a senior position, preferably remote work, full employment. i can be the literally senior person in your very own team!

availability date negotiatable starting from 1st of july 2025 – i'm currently located in poland, and for various reasons am not planning to relocate.

current cv available on request (private message will do, with all caveats regarding its privacy, or you can e-mail me on miroslaw AT makabra dot org)

i'm a generalist linux wrangler, with a long (20+ years) and wide (if a bit eclectic) experience –

• system management, configuration management (ansible, chef & co.),

• glue tooling and scripting (bash, python, rudimentary ruby),

• design, setup and management of crucial infrastructure services (ldap, dns),

• general db skills (not at the dba level), devops-y stuff etc.,

• sysadmin-level networking stuff, and the ability to not stepping on toes of the netadmins too frequently,

• very tired familiarity with version control systems (from using to setting up and managing, including ancient and current ones, open source and commercial),

• also with long experience working in multi time-zone environment.

i know cloud stuff (mostly aws), spent some time recently working with the budget infra providers like hetzner or ovh, can do proxmox, have some docker and currently working on getting fluency in kubernetes – i'm already doing plenty of yaml programming.

in my recent job i've managed the most part of our ansible collection designed to set up base system image and then then getting specific services up and running, and have written tooling to help with bringing up and updating the systems using it, including a safe secret management on a small team scale.

i have fluent english and polish, passive german, some russian.

considering the current political and economical situation and that i'm looking for a long-term employment contract, i'd prefer not working for an united-states funded company, and preferably not having much to do with statistical slop generators of any kind (including, but not limited to LLMs).

it would be nice if the company had a minimally acceptable general business ethics profile.

After a good and much enjoyed break, I'm looking for my next role as (Sr.) Principal Software Engineer/ Head of Engineering/ VP of Engineering in a product company to help them grow and make an impact on standards, DX and innovation.

Remote is a big plus, hybrid (Berlin area) a must-have. Also Open Source and helping others, empower and lead by example are things I love.

Shares are appreciated. #FediHire

This is a #FediHire post, but it's not about technology, so I don't know how helpful the fediverse will be.

I have a PHD in math and nine years of experience teaching university students. I want to leave higher education and become a high school math teacher, but I am not certified.

I'm in the U.S. and have no easy way to leave. I also can't go four years without an income or health insurance.

What states would be the easiest for me to get at least provisionally certified to teach in?

Also keep in mind that I'm trans, so I am only willing to move to a state where it's legal for me to interact with teenagers and get health care.
