Yes, kind of.
When I was applying for a contractor job to Intuit a faulty publication of my tool to NPM broke an upstream project that resulted in an outage for the guy interviewing me.
When I joined Bank of America I discovered people were widely using my tool as one of two critical dependencies of a widely used IDE plugin. When they became known people then stopped using the browser plugin. JavaScript, at that time, had an extreme aversion to any kind of software written by known or trusted people. Software had to be little more than copy/paste and had to come from unknown strangers.
Otherwise, no. Open source contributions have largely just been a distraction from employment history, which is really the only part of the resume people seem to read.
