Over a year into seriously job-hunting and it is miserable. I remain stubbornly a generalist #SoftwareEngineer with #Infra background, both close-to-hardware systems and web #DevOps #SRE work. Need US remote or #PDX local, no AI or blockchain.

There doesn't seem to be a consensus on whether #FediHire, #FediHired, or #GetFediHired is the hashtag, so I'll use them all to say: please help me find a job so I can pay the mortgage on my queer misfit den and otherwise provide for myself and my family.

We will be honest and say that for a small to medium organisation, their are more up front costs to a more open infrastructure.

There's more upfront costs e.g. discovery, communications, quotes, setup. We're a small co-op so we don't have the same amount invested in automation as big tech.

However these costs balance out over the long term as you don't get locked into the tiers and paywalling of big providers where as soon as you hit a certain scale they tighten the screws and start trying to get real money out of you.

That's how big tech work, they set themselves up using loads of capital, hook in the small fishes for free or cheap to get market dominance then once folks are locked into their workflows, they go for the big clients.

Stop playing their game! There is a different way.

I'm looking for work!

I'm a high-level infra and devops engineer and team lead.

I've previously run my own team, and previously worked at Mozilla and Facebook. I'm looking for infra/devops lead or senior infra/devops engineer positions.

I'm not looking for pure development positions, but writing scripts, glue, and things like CI - as demanded by infra/devops - are totally fine. I just don't want to be developing the product.

The one thing I can't budge on is that I am exclusively looking for 100% remote positions, due to physical disability. I am based in the UK but I'm happy working with companies anywhere in the world, and capable of shifting my circadian rhythm around to match yours.

My CV is available at cv.dave.io. I am available to start immediately. The CV is a Notion page and can be cloned directly into your workspace if you use Notion. I'm more than happy to answer any questions, and all leads are graciously appreciated. Drop me a public or private mention, or use the other contact details listed on my CV.

My email address is gated behind a humanity check (don't worry, it's automated) at https://dave.io.

You are very welcome to boost this post, with my thanks.

Our friends at Karios recently shared why they chose FreeBSD as the foundation of their hardened operating system.

This is another great example of how companies are leveraging FreeBSD to build secure, production-grade infrastructure.
