Tell us more about what you want to do. There’s a lot of people on HN who hire developers.

Do you have anything you want focus on or do you pride yourself on being a generalist?

Architect, team lead, or pure development of a system from day to day?

And business domains that you’re especially familiar with or interested in? E-commerce, SaaS, aerospace, business systems, data engineering, etc.

Give us a little more and someone here might take an interest and be able to help directly. The start of the year generally sees an uptick in hiring due to some pent-up demand from the previously 30-45 days when a lot of business processes slow down.

I’ll second that. We’ve got potential openings for either React/Node or C/SELinux/FPGA work.

if anyone wants a lead engineer on a X-style project, something that is out in the fringes, a project with legacy code, unusual multimedia/3D projects, ATE (automated test equipment) projects i may be able to help you

also can help in most multimedia projects involving studio equipment, audio sampling, video processing, MIDI software, and old-school graphics.

forgot to mention, i am weak in react, i like it because it is similar to swiftUI but havent been able to come up with a good project involving react and the types of multimedia apps i am currently developing... if a good idea came up to me involving react and multimedia that's different.
