Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (April 2024) • Hacker News Board

Like this Ask HN: Recommend employers with positive social impact [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31518945], I am looking for similar work. I am a European software developer who has lived and worked on four continents. Now it's time to move on and so I am in the process to relocate to Africa.

While I could find a job elsewhere I believe that the experience living in an area where my work is going to have an impact gives me a better understanding of the needs of the location I am serving. Whether it is through direct contact with clients and users or just by being part of a local community and learning about the reality of living there.

I have more than a decade of experience running a company, doing software development, support and training and mentoring adults and students, as well as working on educational projects, and I am willing to take on a mixture of roles as needed to support a project.

I am also open to work for a company anywhere as long as the work can be done fully remote from Africa.

In addition, I want to use part of my income to hire local interns and junior developers and train them in order to pass on my experience. If you want to support this, I would love to work with you. Also if you are interested in hiring African developers yourself. I can help you build up a team for you.

How do you know all the tasks they were given? I know people with similar background who worked in an office. Lying would be saying you went to a school somewhere you didn’t or didn’t work as long as you said so.

I think you are making a lot of assumptions from a personal bias.

Robin Fisher - Software developer with 10 years of experience and a focus in high performance data visualization/simulation and bridging the gap between technical and creative disciplines. I believe developer experience has a significant, and overlooked, impact on the quality of a teams output. Developer experience tends to be viewed in the narrow scope of documentation and tooling. However, it also includes fostering a high-communication, high-transparency environment which leaves space for experimentation.

I am ideally looking for a part time role at less than 20hr/week but open to full time.
