I'm writing this because I don't know what else to do.
This is Neha. I am a software engineer. I have been coding for years, contributing to open source, building autonomous AI agents, and shipping production code into frameworks that are used by thousands of companies. But today I see an empty bank account and a calendar that tells me I have less than two weeks to figure something out.
This is not a tale of woe. It’s a job application, but not the sort you are used to.
What I’ve done in reality
I am not a CS graduate from a renowned university. I don’t have an FAANG internship on my CV. What I do have is a trail of pull requests merged that speak for themselves.
150+ pull requests merged into core AI infrastructure (Mastra, LlamaIndex, LiteLLM, PostHog, Next.js, OpenHands, etc.)
Tracked down the bug in the streaming state machine and serialization layer for Mastra's silent agent freeze when using Anthropic’s Programmatic Tool Calling and shipped a fix across 21 packages.
Built DigiNav AI, an autonomous compliance agent that manages multi-week government filing processes for Indian businesses, featuring a LangGraph state machine, hybrid DPI integration, and human-approval gates.
Built CompliScore, a compliance health scanner, in one day - Next.js, Groq, real-time streaming, and polished UI. “Exactly what the Indian ecosystem "needs" - validated and lived by a CA-turned-founder backed by a VC.
Created Agent Blueprint, a visual AI agent builder (similar to ComfyUI for LangGraph) that is open source, drag-and-drop, and exports runnable Python code. Constructed in a week.
Currently building ExplainAI, a layer that makes AI agent decisions transparent to non-technical stakeholders, with bias flags and a “Human Override” button.
I ship quick. I understand AI agents at the framework level and above. I don't wait for permission to build what matters.
The reality of the job search
I’ve applied to 100+ companies in the past couple of months. YC companies, VC-backed scaleups, and open-source companies. I've DM'ed founders cold, made PRs to get noticed, and posted my work on Twitter and LinkedIn. I’ve had a few calls, some positive comments, and even a founder said my work is “just what India needs." But no offers yet.
I hear people say remote jobs are too competitive. I should move to Bangalore. I need a network. I know all that stuff. But I also know I can build things that most developers can't, and I do it faster than almost anyone.
Well, here I am, writing this article, hoping the right person reads it. Maybe a CTO, founder, hiring manager will see my work and think: “We need someone who can ship like this."
What I’m looking for:
I am looking for a remote full-stack or front-end engineering position to continue building AI-native products. I am open to contract work, full-time positions, or even a paid trial project. I'm on European and US hours. I offer
Strong experience with TypeScript, React, Next.js, Node.js, Python, and FastAPI.
AI agent orchestration in the real world (LangChain, LangGraph, Mastra).
Proven ability to ship fast – entire products in days, critical fixes in hours.
The hunger of the man who has everything to prove.
If you're building an AI product, an agent platform, a developer tool, or anything that needs to be shipped fast and clean – I'm your engineer.

I know I’m not the only one in this position, I’m not the only one in this boat. If you're another dev grinding through the job search, I see you. Let's keep building. Let’s keep on shipping!
If you're hiring full‑stack AI engineers who ship fast, I'm available for remote contract and full‑time work. [Link to portfolio / DM me.]
