Instead of seeking a job, why not create an environment that allows you to code? You could become a Youtube or Twitch streamer or you could seek angle investors that pay for your projects.
"No one" watches coding streams. An insignificant number.
IRL streamers can be happy if they got over 8k viewers, politics get a lot more and them esports are the top of the pops.
Coding streams have less than 100 viewers, with the odd 300 viewers spike exception. Compare that to 55k viewers CSGO esports.
I wanted to do exactly that, but our profession is not a very entertaining one. Lots of unreadable text, lots of thinking, not much movement or action happening. And IMHO you can either work and get something done or you can entertain people, not both.
Raising this a level... I don't know if you can do this anymore, but a long time ago (like ~25 years ago) a couple I know lived at very low rent in houses that were for sale, but where the owner had already moved out.
They were typically very nice and very expensive houses where the realtor needed the house to be in showable condition at a moment's notice, so in exchange for under 25% market rate rent, they just had to make sure that the house was clean and be ready to leave within an hour if there was going to be a showing. Since the houses were pretty pricy and upscale, they tended to take a very long time to sell so they were usually there for quite a while.
Not quite what OP wants, but almost free housing is nothing to sneeze at.
