SEEKING FREELANCER | Remote | NodeJS Dev with OpenID Connect experience
Looking for a NodeJS developer with OpenID / OAuth 2.0 experience to help with upgrading an OpenID Connect implementation. Specifically, the OpenID service depends on v6 of this library: https://github.com/panva/node-oidc-provider
We would like a review of our current implementation, and help with finishing a mostly-completed upgrade to v7 before we onboard 3rd-parties to our authentication and authorization infrastructure. We estimate the contract length to be between 1 - 2 months, part-time. To apply, send your CV and hourly rate to [email protected]. Please be sure to highlight your experience with the relevant technologies and protocols.
Yes, I did this a couple of years ago. I moved from the Bay Area to Germany.
Biggest sacrifices: Germany is an ethnic monoculture, and Germans aren't too friendly with darker-skinned foreigners, especially if you are vaguely Turkish-looking. I also had to learn German, which was an uphill battle considering how German people treated me.
Gained: Great health insurance and access to cheap and convenient travel throughout the rest of Europe.
I moved out of Germany after 2 years of trying, and failing to assimilate. Now I live in South America.
Cradle is a recently launched music tech startup looking for a backend-leaning Fullstack Developer. We’re a small yet globally distributed bunch of friendly music nerds who work part-time and full-time. In an average day at Cradle, you’ll perform code-reviews, fix well-scoped bugs, help plan and scope larger features, and pair-program with existing team members. The Distribution side of Cradle Engineering is responsible for the website/e-commerce, product distribution infrastructure, and the user and licensing APIs. The application stack consists of an API and an accounts service written in NodeJS, an integration with OpenID Connect for authentication, a Postgres backend, and a WordPress instance with custom plugins. Our application has comprehensive test coverage, and we perform weekly releases from Heroku and WPEngine.
Perks!
- Work when you want, as much as you want (as long as it’s usually more than ~20 hours/week)
- Sign on as a 1099 contractor or W-2 employee, your choice!
- Be part of an early-stage, non-VC funded startup with a healthy engineering culture and a sustainable growth plan
- Work on something that isn’t dystopian surveillance tech. We sell an actual product (i.e. not user data).
I don't think this is a productive narrative to be pushing. Many projects currently rely critically on COIN-OR software, and will continue to do so simply because inertia is often what drives project dependency management. Open source funding is not a zero-sum game, and COIN-OR getting financial support will only strengthen the ecosystem of open-source solvers.
The type of developer(s) that the COIN-OR foundation needs are highly specialized. This person will likely have a PhD in mathematical optimization. Also, some percentage of that funding will need to be used for administration (e.g. hiring said developer, sending receipts to donors, etc).
