It's the right time to be a software developer, It's a developer heaven. I'm a Linux System Administrator and having a hard time understanding how low numbers of sysadmins and/or devops are required. It's probably because here is HN but even yet my heart is a bit broken. Amazon is killing the profession.

Its not really killing anything its just migrating to devops.. If you are the just i rake and stack servers.. ya its harder and harder to find a job. If you are more the devops linux admin type then its extremely easy to find a job. My advice, don't be like mainframe guys.. you need to always keep skill sets new.

I am a fullstack engineer, being one and liking what you do are different things. I do not want to write code as a profession. I code because it helps to do my job.

By the way, devops is not system administration. Thus migrating to devops is the same thing as killing the profession.

Why the downvote?

I didn't downvote, but why "US" in "US remote"? I'm always interested when I seen some country restrictions for remote jobs. In fact, a vast majority of these jobs are from US companies. So what's so special about US? Is dealing with paperwork for non-US candidates that hard for you?

A few possibilities:

- it's simpler for tax/legal purposes for them to hire people who are US residents and legal to work in the US.

- we're in the UK, and hire non-UK-based remote, but we've had a hard time if the timezone is more than a few hours off of London time. In the US, this pretty much restricts you to the Americas (which include a lot more than the US, of course, but this does make a decent chunk of non-US candidates incompatible for them).

Open edX -- REMOTE (Worldwide), OpenCraft

It's a large Python/Django codebase, with good code standards and architecture (a lot of the edX engineers come from MIT). You would work on different clients contracts using the platform. The clients list/references include Harvard, edX themselves, the French government, and various startups & universities currently running their own instances, or looking to create one. Tasks are varied, from developing custom features for specific courses (XBlocks), customizing instances, developing generic platform features, deploying instances, working on both client/server sides, etc.

A large part of your work would be published as free software (edX is released under the AGPL license, which requires clients to release modifications under the same license), and you would also contribute to the free software project, pushing some of your developments upstream through pull requests, contributing features, documentation or help on mailing-lists.

You would be able to work remotely from where you want, as long as you have a good internet connexion. : )
