How do you get a gig though? As someone who managed a fair share of planning and BI teams I don't see myself getting a gig like this in an open source project.

No need to ask permission when it comes to open source. Take your skills and find where they are needed… then DO
yes. this is basically what @elsat did in late 2022. one day he just appeared and started submitting bug reports.
I started the project and hired myself. 😂

show up and take the initiative. I watched @elsat do this in real time with damus. pick a project, find who builds it, follow them, review github issues and pull requests, come up to speed on the project and where it’s at, help facilitate and triage stuff.
in OSS the onus is on you.
