Salary range: 175K-200K
I'm looking to work on projects that are ideally Open Source and be on a team that also contributes back upstream to its dependencies both by opening issues, code and monetarily. I'm looking for a team that values pair programming and "default to open" for communication. I've been doing backend and devops for 10+ years in the enterprise (NBCUniversal & Red Hat) and government (VA.gov (AWS GovCloud)) space. I have many contributions upstream to open source projects including Drupal & Ansible.
I'm mostly doing DevOps right now but I may be considering a move up the stack to doing pure Front-end now. I built my blog (www.elijahlynn.net) in Gatsby (React) and have been doing HTML/CSS for 20+ years too, but rusty, but a quick learner. I'm probably not the best coder, but I ask a lot of questions and am always looking towards the quality solutions that have the least technical debt. I'm really good at cross-team collaboration and communicating overall, that is probably my strength that enables me to get things shipped and done.
Lastly, I am pretty interested in compassion-based therapy lately and want to eventually transition to being a therapist and opening a free trauma and chronic pain therapy center in the PDX/Portland area in the next 5-10 years. So a transition to a project around mental health would be really sweet!
