Help needed on looking for a full time dev role. I'm on the cusp between junior and mid software dev with 2-3 years experience in commercial roles. Open to front and back end dev but mostly done the latter. Know Python, Go, Node in both JS and TS. Dabbled in things like Vue before.

Live and able to work in the UK. Remote work preferred.

I am using Fedi because its been really decent at finding me nice people to network with. Email: me@roxanne.dev

Don’t be irritated by the location, most people sit in London, it’s likely you can choose from where you want to work.

@roxie
Have you considered https://apply.workable.com/elementio/j/F51A6FFD4A/? We do mostly backend TS with splashes of Go and Python. Some frontend experience occasionally helps.

@tadzik I mean I have done all of that and really have enjoyed using element so maybe i should.

@roxie
It's a nice place to work at, I'm working there since June-ish. Fully remote (with London office if you feel like it, afaik). Full-time (not my favourite bit), but quite flexible and work-life balance is quite managable.

@tadzik popped in my cv for it. Got to write a bit about decentralisation too which was nice. Thanks for sending that over

@roxie hey! We're UK-based and in desperate need of those very skills! Check out the roles we've got, and even if something doesn't feel like a perfect fit, apply anyway! You may even end up on my team:

If you have questions, just DM me.

@roxie hey, I don't know you but I know someone who boosted your post. If you're still looking in about 1-3 months the co-op I work for will probably be hiring devs. There's a jobs notification mailing list you can join: opendataservices.coop/jobs/ (but also feel free to ping me here for an update if you don't hear anything)

@rhiaro moving from a coop to a coop would be lovely. As long as it could provide a steady amount of work instead of what I have ATM that would be great

@rhiaro one issue is yeah im looking to try and get a role quickly due to my issues with money rn

@roxie Makes sense, I really hope you find something! And that doing so wouldn't stop you from applying to ODS in the future if you felt like it :)

@roxie Hello! In case you missed it, and are still looking for a new job, we are *finally* hiring developers at Open Data Services Co-op: opendataservices.coop/jobs - happy to answer any questions if you have them

@roxie Which co-op(s) have you worked with before? (not interviewing you, just curious!) yeah it'd be a permanent contract with full time or any amount of part time options, lots of flexi, all remote, UK company. We're mostly backend (Python) with a smattering of frontend but we'll be looking for a mix of skills on the next round. Anyway, stay tuned!

@roxie this is a Rails position but if you’ve done backend work before you can probably pick up the basics of Rails in pretty short order. in my experience these kinds of jobs in the US are not very competitive and i wouldn’t be surprised if the same were true in the UK.

as a word of warning if you do get the position, Hyrax can be a pretty steep learning curve, but as an upshot i doubt anyone applying will have much existing experience. it will position you well to pick up similar jobs in the future.

@Lady Just got a contract on a job today actually so this isn't that relevant anymore but thanks for taking the time to write that and try to help me out. Hope you have a lovely day tho <3
