You either need to find something adjacent to what you already do, or you need to build trust where you work and jump on any opportunities that come up. You can get noticed for work by giving conferences talks or being active on the right mailing lists or getting to know the right people.
In my career I built trust internally and so got interesting work. I talked about that work and so got approached about other jobs, and I’ve been able to move when I’ve wanted to because I’ve kept in contact with some former colleagues.
I would however like to stress that the most important point of this is doing the aork, and doing it well. If you don’t do that then everything else is pointless.
