Recruiters & Co

To Recruiters, Head Hunters, Talent Seekers, Hiring Managers, etc, wanting to contact me (Oliver Schoenborn) about current or potential work opportunities, please bear in mind that without setting boundaries, I would get too many connection and meeting requests, most of which would be a waste of both my time and yours.

For this reason, I recommend that you contact me ONLY if you can answer YES to all of the following regarding this or future opportunities:

• Opportunity focuses on at least 2 of the following :

  • cloud infrastructure as code (terraform, pulumi)

  • kubernetes

  • python / Go

• Opportunity involves mostly linux

• Opportunity involves at least one of AWS, Azure, or GCP

• Opportunity is mostly remote (once-in-a-while site visits are ok, like a day or 2 per month)

• Opportunity can be c2c (corp to corp): contract is with my corporation (directly or via a contracting agency eg Toptal, Procom, etc)

Thank you for your understanding!
