What I'm NOT Looking For

Purpose

Save everyone time by being upfront about wrong-fit opportunities.

---

Not Interested In

Traditional Employment Patterns

✗ "Junior" roles despite capabilities

I've built production systems solo that teams of 5-10 build. Not interested in "junior" classification because I'm self-taught or lack a CS degree.

Why: The work speaks for itself. I'm not entry-level by any reasonable definition.

---

✗ Multi-round technical interviews

Not doing 5-round interview processes where:

Round 1: HR screening
Round 2: Technical phone screen
Round 3: LeetCode whiteboard
Round 4: System design
Round 5: Cultural fit

Why: This tests algorithm memorization, not production capability. I'll show you what I've built instead.

---

✗ Whiteboard algorithm tests

Not interested in "reverse a binary tree" or "implement quicksort from memory" tests.

Why: Real work is:

Can you architect a RAG system that works?
Can you debug production issues?
Can you ship features that users need?

Not: Can you remember CS101 algorithms?

---

✗ "Send us your resume"

I don't have a traditional resume. I have:

GitHub repos
Production systems running
Documentation of what I've built
This site

Why: Resumes optimize for credentials. I optimize for capability.

---

Geographic Constraints

✗ Relocating to Tel Aviv

I'm in Beit Shemesh. Not moving.

Why: Religious community, family, lifestyle. Non-negotiable.

---

✗ Daily office presence requirements

Not doing 5 days/week in-office. Remote or hybrid (1-2 days max) only.

Why: Proven I can ship production systems remotely. Commute time = wasted development time.

---

Equity-Only Arrangements

✗ Building your MVP for equity

Not interested in "no salary, just equity" offers.

Why: I have bills. Equity is fine as additional compensation, not sole compensation.

---

✗ "Great opportunity, no cash but huge upside!"

Seen this pattern. Usually means:

Pre-product startup
No funding
"Exposure" instead of payment

Why: I'm past the stage where experience is compensation. I deliver value, expect fair payment.

What I AM Interested In

✓ Problem-First Conversations

"Here's a technical challenge we're facing. Can you solve it?"

Not: "Tell me about yourself for 30 minutes."

---

✓ Show Your Work

"Show me what you've built, let's discuss your approach."

Not: "Here's a coding test that 1000 candidates take."

---

✓ Capabilities Over Credentials

"You built a RAG system with 253K messages? Walk me through your architecture."

Not: "Where did you go to university?"

---

✓ Remote-First or Hybrid

Companies that understand:

Output > physical presence
Async communication works
Remote developers can ship

---

✓ AI-Native Understanding

Companies/people who know what's possible with:

Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf
MCP servers
Platform orchestration (Supabase + Vercel + Railway + etc.)

And value someone who's mastered these tools.

---

✓ Fair Compensation

Market rate for the value delivered, not discounted because "self-taught" or "no degree."

If I can do the work of 3 developers, don't offer junior developer salary.

---

How To Approach Me

Good Approaches:

✓ "Saw your RAG system. We're building similar. Want to discuss?" ✓ "Have a production problem with vector search. Can you help?" ✓ "Looking for someone who can ship fast with AI tools. Interested?"

Bad Approaches:

✗ "Submit your CV to our hiring portal" ✗ "Can you do a 4-hour take-home test?" ✗ "Great opportunity to learn and grow!" (I'm past entry-level)

The Right Fit

If you:

Have a real technical problem
Value capability over credentials
Understand AI-native development
Offer remote/hybrid flexibility
Provide fair compensation

Then let's talk.

If not, we're both saving time by being honest upfront.
