Careers in Open Access?

I am currently searching for Open Access jobs (preferably in Germany but atp anywhere will do) and I am aware it is quite a niche field - does anyone have any tips for finding work in this area? And do unsolicited applications to academic publishers ever work ?

Need an Open Access button type of website, preferably illegal

So I have to do some bulk pdf downloads, open access button seemed to be viable choice, yet they don't have even what sci-hub has, therefore could you please suggest any websites that are like open access, but not sci hub?

Can't remember website used a few months ago. A Quora like request a paper social network where you request papers get point for posting the paper from requester. I remember it being somehow linked to libgen or some other big site.

You had to sign up/ make an account and as the requester gave out like 10 points/bits for whoever posted the right paper pdf.

Thought it was either lib gen or sci hub "request a paper" affiliated but can't seem to find link and also remember it was strangely fenced away from main site and while busy was not super busy. I got paper I requested btw.

Any help anyone know what im talking about ?
