I'm planning to apply for a part-time tech job while also working on my personal project. I found Gumroad which seems perfect but my skills don't match. Are there other companies offering part-time jobs in a similar fashion like Gumroad?

Heck, lots of them have never even thought of it! I used to just fire tons and tons of cover letters out to companies on stack overflow careers saying "I think I'm a great fit, but I'm only available part time" and see who bit. (And lots bit)
Also, it helps to explain (if this is true) that you are available every day for part of the day and that you can be flexible about the arrangement. That is much easier for managers to deal with than 2 or 3 days per week and you unreachable on the others.
Also, don't listen to folks saying it can't be done who have never actually tried. I've been doing it for many years.

Not sure what your skills are, but at Mobile Jazz [1] we offer remote part-time and full-time jobs for software engineers, designers and project managers.
We've been a fully remote company since inception and put a ton of emphasize on providing every team member with what they need in terms of flexibility and work-life-balance.
We've written an extensive Company Handbook about who we are, how we work and what we do [2]. It's free to download.
We’re proud to say that our average employee stay is four years — more than double the average for our industry.

Love it. Self-selecting and fun!
By gregjor 2021-11-0510:35 Meaningful is subjective. For me meaningful amounts to reasonable clients who pay. I don’t expect to find much more “meaning” than that.
Freelancing is as full- or part-time as you want.
