Ask HN: Help me find a front-end dev. role that allows for telecommute/remote
I'm a front end UI web developer (skillset - HTML, CSS, JS, jQuery, AngularJS and working knowledge of Ruby on Rails) living in Chicago with several years of experience (digital agencies and Fortune 500 companies) and looking to change my current full-time job.
I know there are more front-end roles than you can shake a stick at, but one requirement is the position needs to be telecommute/remote (I lose a lot of time commuting to the office everyday and work better at home and via teleconferencing). Preferably I'm looking to move onto an established Fortune 500 company (i.e. Amazon, Cisco etc.) or a growing startup in Silicon Valley. A few other icings on the cake that are bonus points:
1. Use of the latest and greatest technology (Node.js, Grunt etc.) 2. Competitive salary (obviously!) 3. Ability to attend conferences to keep up with the never ending tide of new technologies.
You can reach me at my username at gmail. If you have any contacts or know any hiring managers I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!
P.S. Not interested in any contracts.
