@TeamMidwest Eira thanks so much for the response. I am somewhat active on LinkedIn and I posted about being laid off on there too (as well as some other social media). The best responses so far have been on there. I'll edit my post on there to add the #opentowork hashtag. Yeah, I did see some other people in similar situations, so surely I did feel a bit less lone in that sense.

After 13+ yrs at Mozilla & 20+ in the industry, I'm exploring what's next. Seeking roles building scalable systems. Staff-level with a keen eye for optimization.

Passionate about open source: created django-debug-toolbar, maintain django-csp, contributed widely across the ecosystem.

Exploring Technical Lead/Staff Engineer roles (remote preferred, based in Oregon). Looking to start June or later.

Appreciate connections/advice! DMs welcome.

Starting my GDC week off with a bang! I have just been notified that my contract at Rookery Interactive will not be renewed in 2 weeks, so I am suddenly #OpenToWork! Please keep me in mind for any writing or consulting roles. If you're at GDC & would like to meet, lmk!

🌎 I’m open to remote roles, or positions in Bangkok!

⭐ I've worked on a ton of games, comics and books, and am available for writing, consulting & editing outside of games.

Just found out my client contract is unexpectedly ending at the end of this month, and that puts me at risk of a layoff at my consulting firm after that.

So I'm trying to get ahead of things and find a new team to utilize my almost 10 years of experience in Web and software engineering.

**About me:**
🌐 I have professional experience with TypeScript, Vue, Nodejs, Elixir/Phoenix, Ruby/Rails and more. Plus I enjoy exploring a language or framework I've not used before, and I have proven I can ramp up my comprehension quickly.
🧭 I am based in the US Central Timezone (or UTC -5) and am looking for remote roles that work well with that.
👨‍💻 I have worked up and down the stack and am open to a variety of position focuses.

**About my new team:**
🧠 They value competency and critical thinking over specific stack experience, prioritizing open collaboration and knowledge sharing.
🔧 They take standards and best practices seriously, not reaching for the quickest solution for its own sake.
🌎 (ideally) They seek to help solve problems that impact major issues of our time.

**About you:**
👋 You have connections to folks I should talk to, or you *are* someone I should talk to.
‼️ You know of or have seen roles that might be worth looking into.
🔁 You can boost this to try to connect it with folks who might fit one of the first two points 😁

I'm grateful for your input. Thanks y'all.

I started 2025 unemployed and have been looking for work since Jan 1. Figured it couldn't hurt to see if anyone here might know of something.

🌐 I am a UX/UI designer with a passion for crafting easy-to-use interfaces and user-centered digital experiences that help people work better. Committed to delivering impactful visuals that align with brand guidelines and drive business goals.
🧭 Open to in-person/hybrid roles in the #Seattle metro area, or to remote roles in the US. W2 only.
⭐ I value work/life balance, cross-functional collaboration (I play well with engineers!), and projects that drive meaningful and positive impact.

I'm looking to put my seventeen years of computer networking expertise to work! If you know of any relevant opportunities or just want to catch up, please let me know.

🌐 Engineering experience with a broad variety of network types, from hyper-scale cloud providers to small businesses and enterprises
🧭 Open to in-person/hybrid roles in the Seattle metro area, or to remote roles in the US
⭐ I value work/life balance and seeing direct impact from my work

Board roles - I recently changed my LinkedIn profile to say that I’m Open to Board Roles (linkedin.com/in/kristinehoward/), and a few recruiters picked up on that #opentowork photo frame immediately. No, I’m not looking to go back to work! Still very happily retired. I am specifically only interested in board roles, and there’s no way to flag that without also putting up that photo frame.

Being on a board is something I’ve been thinking about for several years, after a mentor raised it as a potential career path for me. There’s a real lack of tech industry experience and tech skills on my boards, and women are also woefully underrepresented. I have considered doing the AICD course (aicd.com.au/courses-and-progra), but yowza! it’s expensive to do just in the hopes of getting a paid board role someday. I had coffee with a friend recently who’s on several boards, and she advised that the course isn’t needed right away if I start by aiming for non-profit, volunteer roles. And right now, my focus is very much on doing whatever I can to make the world a better place.

If you have no idea what being on a board actually entails – because I certainly didn’t! – Anil Dash has a great article about it (anildash.com/2024/06/20/dash-b). web-goddess.org/archive/55329

I was just laid off today so I’m looking for a new software engineering position. I’ve been working in tech since 2015 and doing full-time work for the last six years. Specifically I’ve worked on React, React Native, and backend TypeScript projects for various clients usually in the e-commerce space. I’ve joined existing projects as well as greenfield projects delivering a fully new app for clients.

I’m looking for anything remote or based in Seattle.
