Are you close to a big tech hub? If you are not close try and get as close as possible. Crash with a fried or relative.

Another option is to contact Profs at CS/CE Depts at universities preferably with Startup Incubators attached. The one's that have funding for projects have a hard time finding experienced people. You might get a part time gig that turns into something long term.

Similarly, I regularly see lots of HPC support job openings at universities in the US. These pay much less than similar jobs in the real world and they are not particularly well advertised -- you have to go looking for them. Could keep the op in the black until something better is found.
