I’m looking for a new job as my company will be reorganising soon. I do software design*, user research, product management and have hired and managed teams of designers and developers.

Looking for something senior but I like the mixed nature of startup roles because I still like doing actual hands-on design. I’m in the UK, where I live means a remote role is best. Boosts welcome.

* currently ed-tech, previously e-learning, games publishing, mobile apps, and branding

#FollowTheMoney 🧵57/n

This LinkedIn post resonates … wanted to share here just in case there are others who are in this situation too.

Also one reason I hardly ever add to this 🧵any more is that, of course, I am literally trying to #FollowTheMoney, or rather, divert some from somewhere to my bank account😄 #JobSearch #FediHire

This week, a friend told me they'd taken a job with lower pay and a smaller title. "It's not my dream job," they said. "But I need the money." My heart ached for him. The last two years have been the hardest l've seen in 30 years of watching the job market. Talented people who once had their pick of opportunities are taking lower salaries/titles because they don't have any choice. This in a world that's full of "Find your purpose." And "Do work that lights you up every damn day." F**k purpose for a minute. There's no shame in taking the job that feeds your family. There's no shame in staying in an industry you don't love if it keeps the lights on. Some of us are just trying to get through the month. And that's okay. This season won't last forever. I used to believe I had to "love what I do" every day. That if I wasn't perfectly aligned with my highest values, I was failing. What a load of privileged bullshit.

#Fedihire Befreundete Masterabsolventin (Uni Mainz, Dolmetscher) mit 5 Jahren Berufserfahrung, sucht eine neue Stelle als technical writer. remote oder in Landau.

Ok, let me put this straight. I am not in a critical situation. Like I have a job right now, and they are not going to throw me out. At least so I hope 😅

But, yet another day, yet another daily, yet another "I have literally nothing to do".

There was some talking about helping with some other stuff the other person in the team is doing. But this set of tasks is being stuck as well, due to dependency of some resources unavailable. It's already a running joke in the team.

So, if you know about vacancy in a place who needs a Linux engineer, I'd be glad to know.

I am kinda Linux generalist (with some exceptions, see below).

What I would like to do?
Get back to C++, if possible.
Get into bare metal embedded (no experience at all).

What I do not want to do?
Frontend for webdev.

What is currently hip, and I have no idea about? Containers and cloud. Absolutely no experience with docker/kubernetes. The same for AWS/Azure/whatever. However, I can catch up if necessary.

What I know (more or less) about: C, C++, perl, python, shell, github, Jira, integration, testing, some network protocols, networking in general, SQL, SQL databases.

I did some sysadmin/netadmin/maintenance jobs in the past

I am a sucker for a quality code and good design. And - depending on the workplace - that could be considered as a merit, or a flaw.

Kinda jack of almost all trades.

I am currently located in Eindhoven, but relocation to other Dutch city is possible.

I would prefer to say in The Netherlands. But for a proper opportunity I can relocate. I am a citizen of an EU country.

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.

Hi! I'm currently looking for jobs and just learned about #GetFediHired . I'm trained as a linguist with lots of experience in R+D project management and administrative tasks.

I'm a great fit if your company needs someone to fill the role of an Executive Assistant, who is in charge of the logistics, budgeting, indirect purchases, and keeping the lights on while the team is developing the next product or concept.

I'm also familiar with programming, FOSS, and SysAdmin, which makes me knowledgeable in the needs that development teams might have.

If interested or you know someone who might, I'll be very delighted to have a meeting to discuss my profile, experience, and how I may meet your and your company's needs.

I'm still hiring if anyone is interested in working in a (fully remote) Senior Data Analyst role at the UK's fifth largest alternative network operator (FullFibre), £60k plus stuff (negotiable for the right candidate). PySpark and friends mostly, mostly greenfield, Databricks etc. Have to be UK based. DM or email me for deets if interested! #FediHire #getfedihired #fedijobs

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.
