I haven't really said this publicly in over 8 years (since going independent), but...
I'm at a point where I might entertain working for a company (part-time or full-time). I'm not sure there's many positions out there I'd fit in, but, here's my "reverse job listing"... :)

I almost exclusively prefer open-source work, rather than closed proprietary code which I find boring and counter-productive.
I strongly prefer building and working on utilities/libraries and tools, and/or working in node, rather than using frameworks to build front-end code.

I strongly prefer positions that focus heavily on knowledge transfer, writing, engineering culture building, internal and external developer evangelism, working with entrepreneurs/customers, etc... rather than purely product/dev roles. But I also want to code.
I prefer a position with ownership rather than a generalist role.
I prefer a position where I'll be learning/exploring/R&D (and then sharing that with others), and leading others to do so as well, rather than just iterating on known/preset roadmaps.

Technical leadership roles are great (I'd likely gravitate to principle, director, or vp level), but I'm not interested (or particularly skilled at) people/HR management.
I strongly prefer part-time (up to 20hr/week), but might consider full-time if it was a really amazing fit.
Working remote is a requirement. I won't relocate, and I don't even see myself going into offices (in Austin) any time soon given the current world reality.

I don't have a resume, and I probably won't put one together. If you care about my former employment (8+ years ago), see Linked In.
If you care what I do now, look at all my books, workshops, and OSS projects. If you don't have enough info from that, I may not be a good fit.

I'm not likely to work with recruiters. I'm of course quite open to direct exploratory calls and chats, but not the normal screening process hoop jumping.
So, there ya go. That's the dream job listing.
I've spent weeks working up the courage to post that publicly, as I've been so worried about how putting that out there will sound, and how unlikely of a fit I am with most opportunities/teams.
getify @ gmail to discuss more.
