Sad to read about some of these stories of hardship that people find themselves in. If you are based in Melbourne, Victoria we currently have an opening for a web developer to help with our frontend as well as a business development role based in the states. You can check the job description on our careers page:
Remote work is potentially possible for the SE role depending on the candidate, but on-site is preferred.. that being said we are all working remotely for the meantime given the current situation.
If you are interested please drop me an email at pat[at]mod.io
