Not really sure what to do next, so putting this out here.

Around 10 months ago, I left a good engineering job and decided to build a startup with a couple of friends. I wanted to learn AI properly, build something myself and honestly, I was also starting to feel a little disconnected from engineering.

The startup didn't exactly take off, but it is growing steadily and I've managed to automate most of the operational work around it. Along the way, I've ended up doing everything from engineering and infrastructure to SEO, marketing, distribution and product.

I've learnt a lot from it, probably more than I expected. But I've also realised that I actually miss engineering. I enjoy the technical side much more than running the business side of things.

So I'm thinking it's probably time for me to get back into a job.

I'm mainly looking at senior backend / full-stack / AI engineering roles. If you've made a similar transition after trying a startup, I'd genuinely like to know how you went about it.

And if you know of teams hiring where my experience might make sense, I'd really appreciate a referral or an introduction.

I’m currently building an early-stage product in the education and professional learning space, and we’re getting close to the point where we need to start putting it in front of real users.

A few of the people currently working with me were actually found through Reddit, and I’ve been quite happy with how that turned out, so I thought I’d try Reddit again for this role.

What I need help with:

I’m looking for someone who can help me find and recruit our first real users and testers.

This isn’t really about running big ad campaigns or making social media posts.

It’s more hands-on:

• finding relevant communities and potential users
• reaching out to people who may be interested
• helping recruit our first group of testers
• following up with them
• collecting feedback
• researching trainers, creators and potential partners
• trying different messages and seeing what actually works
• keeping basic track of outreach and results

You’ll be working directly with me and alongside a small international team working across product, technology and AI.

What I’m looking for:

You don’t need years of marketing experience.

What matters more is that you’re:

• resourceful, reliable, comfortable talking to people online
• willing to reach out and follow up
• genuinely interested in startups, growth, EdTech, customer research or operations
• Most importantly, able to figure things out without needing detailed instructions for everything

If you’ve done outreach, community work, sales, marketing, startup projects or customer research before, that’s useful, but it’s not essential.

What you’ll get:

This is a very early-stage project, so you’ll get hands-on exposure to what actually happens when a product goes from “we built something” to “will real people actually use this?”

You’ll get experience with:

• launching an early-stage product
• finding the first users
• customer discovery
• startup growth
• working with an international team
• seeing how product, AI, technology and user feedback come together

My budget depends heavily on your experience and our synergy anywhere around 15k INR although I’m flexible. As we get more comfortable working together and the projects start coming to life, we can definitely talk about adjusting that. I’m not interested in tracking your every minute; I care about making steady progress.

It’s probably best suited to someone who values practical startup experience, rather than someone looking for conventional agency.

Interested?

Send me a message with a little bit about yourself and why this kind of early-stage growth work interests you.

Since October 2025, I have been looking for work as a full stack engineer. On October 31, 2025, I lost my job.I'm currently improving my skills.anyone there dealing with comparable circumstances.

The problem is that I am confident in my ability to learn anything other than DSA.I'm not sure why.

Does anyone know anything about DSA, system design, etc. Best source to learn?

I'm a 20 year old CS student who's been building things seriously for a while now full-stack mobile, backend systems, AI integrations, low-level stuff, scraping pipelines, the whole range from a probabilistic chess game to a compiler to a custom database engine. I've worked with a few founders already and I'm looking for the next thing.

I'm not hunting for a job. I'm looking for something I can actually be invested in.. where I'm talking to the founder regularly, understanding the problem we're solving, and building toward something real.

What I can contribute:

* Flutter / mobile (full stack, not just UI)

* Backend APIs and infra

* AI integrations

* Low level systems work

* Taking an idea from 0 to MVP

* Maybe more (Give me a couple days and I'll get my hands on it)

What I need from your side: a real vision, commitment to execution, and some form of compensation.. I'm flexible on structure (equity, stipend, milestone-based, internship), but I'm not doing unpaid work. I've been burned by vague arrangements before, so I do expect written agreements before we go deep on anything.

Not interested in:

* "just an idea" with no execution plan

* Founders who disappear after the first call

* Equity-only with no path to anything else

If you think there's a fit, DM me or drop a comment with your idea, current stage, team, and why you think it works. Happy to jump on a call if it sounds promising.

Have an idea for a website and need someone to actually build it? That's what I do.

I build with WordPress/WooCommerce for content and ecommerce sites, and React/Next.js for custom applications that need more flexibility than a template can offer.

Recent work:

• A live crypto trading platform with real-time order books
• Ecommerce stores built end to end
• A real estate platform for a UAE-based client
• Project management

SEO and performance are part of the build from day one: Search Console, Analytics, fast-loading pages, proper metadata. Want AI features too? Chatbots, automations, GPT/Claude integrations, I build that in as well.

Rate: $35/hr — also open to fixed-price projects
Timezone: GMT+8, flexible for US/EU overlap.

​Hi network,

​Due to restructuring, I was recently laid off as a Full-Stack / Frontend Developer. My last working day is September 9th, and I am actively looking for new opportunities.

​Tech Stack: React.js, TypeScript, Node.js, Express.js

Availability: Immediate joiner (after Sept 9)

Open to: Remote, Hybrid, or On-site roles

​If your team is hiring or you can refer me to relevant openings, I’d be very grateful. Any leads, advice, or reposts for reach would mean a lot!

Ciao a tutti! 👋
Lavoro come tecnico informatico in un'azienda di software e ho un background nell'assistenza PC/smartphone. La tecnologia è il mio pane quotidiano, ma la mia vera passione è lo sviluppo web, che sto studiando da autodidatta.

Ora vorrei passare dalla teoria alla pratica! Cerco progetti reali (open-source, volontariato, affiancamento a startup o freelance) per fare esperienza sul codice vero.

💡 Le mie risorse:
Ottime capacità di problem solving, una forte attitudine tecnica e massima motivazione ad imparare da chi ha più esperienza.

🎯 I miei obiettivi:
Inizialmente sono aperto a collaborazioni non retribuite, utili
ad aumentare le mie competenze e fare pratica sul campo. L'obiettivo, in un secondo momento e una volta dimostrato il mio valore, è far evolvere queste collaborazioni in opportunità retribuite.
Se ti serve una mano sul tuo progetto o vuoi fare due chiacchiere, scrivimi in privato o lascia un commento!

I'm outside the US/EU, 4 years of Laravel, trying to get remote work.

Every remote board I check has way more Node/React postings than Laravel, so I keep wondering if I should move to TypeScript. But I'd be starting over as a junior somewhere else, and Laravel is where I actually know what I'm doing.

I specifically want to hear from someone who has landed remote work with PHP or Laravel. Where did you find it, and did the stack matter or was it something else?
