Hi everyone, I’m Marvin

Years ago, I faced significant challenges transitioning to remote work. I had to apply to over 30 job positions, using a Trello board to keep everything organized—it was overwhelming!

After much struggle, I finally landed a remote job.

I started as a Mid Software Engineer, then became a Head of Engineering in a startup, and most recently as Director of Engineering at the Linux Foundation and a Software Architect consultant.

This experience was so impactful that when I started on my solopreneur path, I knew I wanted to help others overcome similar hurdles. That's why I launched NextCommit (https://nextcommit.careers/). The platform supports tech candidates throughout their journey to find remote jobs, from analyzing CVs to achieving their ultimate goal of securing a position.

I’m constantly looking to add new features, such as job application tracking, automatic job matching, and CV and cover letter optimization for specific postings.

I invite you to sign up for a free account to explore and filter the most recent job postings and receive a summary analysis of your CV.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on this tool! Feel free to DM me or connect on LinkedIn, X, or email—any feedback is highly appreciated!

Good luck and happy job hunt!
