That sounds like a part-time job to me. I happened to run across this possibly relevant job opening because the company had a SWE role on the Hacker News homepage today: https://jobs.lever.co/goalbookapp-2/63b983f5-00c6-45d0-a9b2-...

(But I'm not affiliated and have no other info!) I guess a downside is that it's not an ongoing position, but on a project-by-project basis.

Unfortunately in most industries I think you're right on it being a part-time job. Software engineers (myself included) are a pretty spoiled bunch!

Thanks for sending that link along! Contract work is definitely something to consider.
