Location: New York City Remote: Yes (Remote or hybrid/in-person in NYC) Willing to relocate: Maybe (FLA or TX) Technologies: Python, JavaScript, Node.js, Go, PostgreSQL, Redis, OpenLDAP, OIDC, Docker, ZFS, Linux, Proxmox VE, Git, AWS, GCP, OpenAPI, local LLM deployment (Ollama, vLLM, DeepSeek) Résumé/CV: https://william.mantly.vip (PDF at the bottom) Email: [email protected] --- Hey HN, This was my weekend: (https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/comments/1w25jsm/this_is_getting_out_of_hand/) We do crazy things for VRAM these days. I spent the last few weeks shipping Theta Suite (https://theta42.github.io/theta-suite/) a zero-friction, self-hosted identity and access plane. Instead of gluing together disjointed services by hand, it unifies an OIDC provider, multi-master LDAP directory, zero-trust proxy, OpenBao secrets engine, and a directory-driven SSH jump host into a single-line install. It automates everything down to Linux host enrollment and multi-site replication. I built it with Claude, DeepSeek, Gemini, other local LLM's doing the heavy lifting on typing, while I drove architecture, threat modeling, and code sanity. Real systems engineering moving faster than it used to. Technology is my life; you can read my backstory on my website linked above. I've done the corporate thing (VP of Software Engineering at JPMorgan) and run my own infrastructure consulting firm. What I actually want now is to get back in the weeds: write code, own infrastructure, and be the engineer a team calls when something is on fire at 2 AM. Real-world leadership & mentorship, I grow engineers. I've built teams from scratch, run an infra firm, and spent years as a head instructor teaching Python/Django with a 90% job placement rate for graduates. I know how to unblock a team and keep execution high. Oh, and before you ask, I want to make an impact, that is whats important for me in my next role.
