So, there are a few options here. I would suggest as your first step to get in touch with a really good contracting firm. I personally have worked with Robert Half Technology many times, and they really try to pair folks with positions they love. Plus, in my experience, they have the best selection of positions to choose from. Besides this, IRC, Twitter, GitHub, and LinkedIn are your friends. If you can't find a company that peaks your interest, start your own project. Pay the nominal fee to register a DBA (if in the US) and work the project through that company. In this manner you can write off losses in your taxes, and it lends more credibility to the project. The companies that are looking for shakers want to see you shaking long before you walk in the door. Build the small version of your dream, then sell the idea to anyone who listens.
