To add potentially a little extra context, the HN account whoishiring[1] posts three items on the first of each month regarding potential employers, employees, and freelance work. HN requests that any seeking employment, or what you appear to be looking for, post in the appropriate thread.[1]https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=whoishiring

This would be appropriate to post in the monthly "Who Wants to be Hired" thread that appears on the first of every month. If you don't see it on the front page then, you can find it via https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=whoishiring.It's off-topic to post as a story to HN, though, so I'm going to kill the post now.

"Please don't post job ads as submissions to HN. A regular "Who Is Hiring?" thread appears on the first weekday of each month (or Jan 2). Most job ads are welcome there." https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html
