See Yonatan’s tips on posting more effectively, and examples of a similar format on the latest similar thread on Hacker News.
This was inspired by the talks around an EA common application, especially this comment, and the “Who wants to be hired?” and “Who’s hiring?” threads from the Hacker News forum.
This thread is a test
We’re not sure how much it will help, or how we should improve future similar attempts. So if you have any feedback, we’d love to hear it. (Please leave it as a comment or message us.)

Notes:
Cause Areas
Open to just about anything. I lean a little more toward global health and wellbeing but I think longtermist focuses are important too and would be happy to contribute to either.
Availability
I’d most likely be available within about two months of receiving an offer.
Looking for
I’m primarily looking for full time work, and I think I would enjoy doing anything that fits well with my skills, though I am looking mainly for something different from engineering.
I think I’d be a good fit for and enjoy roles that involve research, writing, and/or forecasting.
I’d also enjoy roles that involve coding or building tools, though I don’t have a lot of formal experience with those things so I might not be as good of a fit there.
Experience with EA
I’ve been aware of and interested in EA for a few years, though I’ve only started looking into it more closely in the past few months. I’d describe myself as someone who was a lurker on the periphery of EA and is now trying to get more involved.
If anyone has any feedback or suggestions for me I’d appreciate it as well. Feel free to message me or submit feedback anonymously at this link.
Edited on June 1, 2022 to add the notes section.
Senior Software Developer: 10+ years experience, full stack including embedded, hardware, performance optimizations, and some aspects of machine learning and data science.
Ex Apple.
Engineering lead for a startup that builds autonomous drones (real time image processing), building something cutting edge that beat the Boeing team in a competition by the U.S Air Force).
This is the person I chose to work with full time if I can, which is my way of saying “extremely good and trusted”.
Open for part time work since we got an FTX grant, but, you know, it’s gone. You’ll get really good code while allowing us to keep working on more (in my opinion) very important things.

Notes: I’m 37 and have had successful careers in several different areas but this year I decided that I want to use my efforts for something altruistic, and EA fell in my lap—thankfully. In short, I want to be part of the solution, not the problem. I feel like I can make a big impact one day, but that I first need to learn a lot more and also prove myself to the community. I’m looking for a remote work opportunity (although I’ll happily travel for special events etc), ideally part time, where I get to work with people and solve problems. I’m born in Sweden and live in Slovenia, so EU based.

Hi, would you be interested in AMF’s software engineer positions? We have Python-based data analysis tasks that you might find fun, and I bet you could pick up the rest of the tech stack quickly.

Yeah not a perfect fit for my current niche, but I have no problem picking up new techs and even coded some C# in school, so I’ll definitely apply!

Résumé
Email: zroush17@gmail.com
Notes: I am interested in a variety of cause areas, such as: Climate change, AI, global poverty and education, and global peace. I’ve invested many hours in studying sustainable architecture.
I am growing more and more familiar with EA every day, and I’ve completed the 80K career guide as well as an “Intro to EA” cohort. I plan on applying to become a facilitator and taking the intensive course in the next few months.
Although my career experience is in copywriting, my passion is connecting with and helping people. I am currently taking a Community Foundations course through C School; this courser is teaching me all about online communities and how to make them successful. Ideally, I’m looking for work in community-related spaces that work toward EA causes.
That said, I’m also open to content-writing work, but as more of an editor and advisor on content. Not so much the writing.

Hi Amber, this post was meant to be May—September, so I’m afraid not many people will see it :(
I don’t know of a better place to post this, but keep in mind that it’s unlikely you’ll get any views here.
Thanks! Do you plan to make a new thread for November+? It seems like a good idea.
I also posted something recently here,
And if there’s a new post (which I’d encourage!), I have a few opinions on things to maybe improve (though I think the current version is really good, this is not a complaint)
Hey Yonatan! Please share them! The forum team is working on these things afaik (even if mostly on the job ads side)
Also commenting to see if there are plans to create a new “Who wants to be hired?” thread—as I think it could be very beneficial to job-seekers like me!
I don’t know of any immediate plans, maybe we can make a post but not pin it?
Of the 46 people that replied to me from this thread, 4 found something, but
—one was a short-term collaboration
—one gives a 70% chance they would have been contacted anyway, he had already met the employer at a conference
—one was both a short-term collaboration, and they don’t think they were contacted because of this thread
—one was a three-month contract
And 10 people found an EA job through other means:
- One from an org they were volunteering at
—One from posting in an EA Facebook group
—One after applying to various org following an 80k 1-1 advice session
I think most of the others were the results of directly applying to things, so I would recommend the approach in When in doubt, apply .
Hey everyone,
Since I can’t find an October thread, I’m posting here.
I’m a Berlin (Germany) based IT freelancer looking for innovative and impactful projects. My work so far has mostly been with corporate clients, and I’d like to change that.
My background is in mathematics (finance), but I’ve been working as an IT consultant and software engineer for the last 5 years.
There are no hard constraints on duration and workload from my side, my current client is happy to book any vacancies.
I haven’t made them any promises for 2023 yet, but that will change by the end of November. Please contact me soon if you are interested!
Top skills: C#, .NET, Azure DevOps, msg.PM, Oracle SQL, Angular

Email: dj1267@nyu.edu
Notes: I recently relocated to London, and currently work for a knowledge network (sales & outreach). I found my current employment to be not focused on impact at all, and it is giving me significant discomfort that I spend 8 hours 5 times a day working on something that only makes the company more well-off, but does not improve my skills (outside of sales-related ones) or has any traceable impact. Hence, I am looking for EA-aligned jobs, mostly in the UK (with a remote option). My interests are psychology, institutional decision-making, mental health, and more general EA roles focused on operations & community building. I would need visa sponsorship since I am here on a working visa.
Available from and until: October 9 onwards.
Hi! I’m Andrea Owe, I’m an environmental moral philosopher and currently a Research Associate at the Global Catastrophic Risk Institute. Here, I’ve focused on the ethics of GCR, especially environmental and AI-related risks, including from underrepresented worldviews and value-systems.
Location: Oslo, Norway

Notes:
Cause areas: GCRs associated with climate change, environmental degradation, and AI, and nonhuman/animal welfare, longtermism, value spreading, moral progress, moral circle expansion, and post-catastrophe.
Looking for: I am ideally looking for research positions in EA-adjacent think tanks or the like. I would be particularly interested in opportunities to study systemic approaches to risk mitigation, including on the interdependencies and underlying drivers of GCRs. I am equally interested in diversifying worldviews, value-systems, and epistemologies applied to GCR research and related EA-adjacent issues.
Experience with EA: I have been involved with EA since around 2018, when I had a research internship with GCRI. Locally, I am involved with EA Norway, where I also have an office space.
