Part-time Engineer (hours you set) Example posting
These are example postings: the shape of the roles KOA Labs is hiring for. The salary, the closing date and a phone number are placeholders — Miguel still has to fill them in.
About the role
We build small production systems: an assistant that answers from a company's own documents, a process that stops asking people to do the same thing twice, a dashboard that shows the numbers and where they came from. Python, TypeScript, a bit of SQL, a lot of reading.
The role is by the hour, on purpose. Some weeks you take four hours, some weeks you take none. What we need is someone who can pick up a task that is well written down, build it without drama, and leave it documented enough that the next person — who might be you, six months later — can change it.
Everything we build is open source or belongs to the client. You will not write a black box for somebody who cannot read it.
What we ask for
- You write Python or TypeScript well enough to ship, not just to demo.
- You have taken a system to production and kept it running.
- You write down what you did so the next person can pick it up.
- You can work a few hours a week and tell us in advance when you cannot.
- You would rather fix the one thing that is broken than rebuild the whole thing.
