I founded a software engineering co-op. We're always interested in finding new members. https://508.dev
Right now our main revenue is through subcontracting, and admittedly we haven't pulled a fresh gig in a couple months, mostly because most of us are working a gig which limits our ability to BD - a limitation we've been kicking around how to resolve for ages.
We want to come up with some alternative revenue streams that aren't directly selling our labor. I soft launched one recently (a mock interview thing that I'm not quite ready to link completely publicly) but I'm also really interested in ideas other people have.
My goal for the co-op has been to make it a greater than sum of parts actualizer for each of our potentials. So far it's been pretty good on that front but for me the big win is gonna be if we can get a revenue generating project out.
Anyway, rambling. Feel free to reply with questions or email me (email is better since I'm trying to stay off HN due to internet comment addiction). https://508.dev/join has more info on joining.
Random fun fact: all our internal SaaS is FOSS and self hosted! Excluding discord. Matrix didn't work well for us.
Not exactly what you asked for, but here is a related Wiki entry:

A link at the bottom of the page goes directly to a US directory (of only 476 entities): https://www.usworker.coop/directory/
+100... I'd love to find a spot at a tech co-op but they seem as common as a hen's tooth.
You can work in the technology department of a non-tech company.
I am enjoying being a part of an employee-owned company so far.
That could be just as good but it has the same problem... how to find these jobs.
I know of (and briefly worked at!) a small one; truly unheard of benefits and very good compensation package.
