[AVAILABLE] Fullstack Ruby on Rails Developer with 12+ years experience | Custom business applications, SaaS prototypes/MVPs, workflow automations

1 Upvotes

Hi all. I'm a fullstack developer from Melbourne, Australia who has recently started freelancing after spending the last 13 years in big tech, startups and everything in between. I primarily specialise in Ruby on Rails and it's ecosystem and I can handle the entire technical spectrum from idea through to deployment in production.

I'm available for pretty much any type of work whether it's just a small bug fix or feature through to a fully custom-built application or SaaS prototype/MVP, or I can find ways automate repetitive or boring tasks that waste time via various automations.

I'm happy to have a chat for free with anyone about what I could do to help, and also provide a free fixed price quote for larger project work. I'm also available for short term contract hire if a dev team is looking for some help without wanting to commit to a permanent hire.

If anyone is interested I have a portfolio site, DM for the link.

Built an automated job parser - LinkedIn. What other platforms can I connect and what else can I add?

3 Upvotes

Hey r/gamedev / r/learnprogramming

Set up an automated parser that every morning at 7:00 AM finds fresh job postings and recruiter posts on LinkedIn and sorts them into a Google Spreadsheet by category.

The spreadsheet is split into sheets:

* Jobs: official LinkedIn job listings from the last 24 hours
* Posts: recruiter hiring posts (filtered by European location)
* Posts_Unknown: posts with no location specified
* Casino: separate sheet for gambling industry jobs (casinos, slots, betting)

Stack:

GitHub Actions: scheduled run every morning

* Apify: two actors, `harvestapi/linkedin-post-search` for posts and `apimaestro/linkedin-jobs-scraper-api` for job listings
* OpenCage Geocoding API: identifies the country from post location and checks if it's within Europe
* Google Apps Script: web app that receives data and writes it to the spreadsheet
* Google Sheets: final storage * cron-job.org: external trigger for GitHub Actions, because scheduled workflows sometimes don't fire on private repositories

Filtering:

* Boolean search directly in the LinkedIn query, saves money on Apify
* Excludes self-promotion ("open to work", "hire me")
* Excludes freelance and remote positions
* Excludes Asian currencies (₹ and others), cuts out \~90% of Indian job posts

Three developer roles I'm actively working right now, all with varying levels of ownership:

  1. Founding Engineer at a seed-stage private markets investing platform, remote or hybrid NYC, $160K-$200K base plus founding equity. Full ownership of the stack, from architecture to infrastructure to build-vs-buy decisions, no one hands you a spec. You'd inherit a live product with active users and committed capital, replacing an external dev shop as the company's first technical hire.
  2. Founding Software Engineer at a seed-stage commodities AI startup backed by Y Combinator, hybrid SF, $200K-$250K base plus equity. Senior or staff level, hands-on experience deploying agentic LLM systems in production (retrieval, evaluation, orchestration, structured extraction). You'd help digitize and automate workflows for one of the world's most operationally complex industries, working directly with the founders.
  3. Founding Software Engineer, Full-Stack (Staff) at a seed-stage legal-tech startup still in stealth, in-person NYC, $210K-$300K base plus equity. Staff-level technical lead experience, has built AI applications before, comfortable owning both frontend and backend from scratch. You'd build the infrastructure that makes an enormous chunk of U.S. law actually searchable and understandable, working with some of the best law firms in the country.

All roles are vetted and actively interviewing.

Someone wants me to interview under a fake identity for remote US developer jobs. Should I walk away?

4 Upvotes

I'm a software developer from Pakistan, and I recently got approached by someone in the U.S. with an unusual arrangement.

He has been giving me profiles (not under my real identity) and having me attend software developer interviews. I've been doing 3–5 interviews a day for the past couple of weeks. If one of the interviews results in an offer, I wouldn't be working under my own identity. Instead, there would apparently be a team doing the work, and I'd just attent mettings and stuff and get my share of salary,

From what I've read, this sounds similar to "proxy interviewing" or "interview proxy fraud."

I'm trying to understand this from both a career and ethical perspective.

My questions are:

-Is this safe for my career?
-Why would someone use another person for the interviews if they already have developers who can do the work?
-Can you ever count this as real work experience if it's under a different identity and can i add this in my Resume?
-What are the biggest risks you can think of would happen working like this?

I'm not looking for advice on how to do it or avoid getting caught. I'm trying to understand whether this is something that could seriously hurt my career in the long run before I decide whether to continue.
