TLDR : Answer Summary
The process for someone on visa amnesty who finds a job in Thailand typically involves leaving the country to obtain a Non-B visa at a consulate in a neighboring country. Due to restrictions from COVID-19, you may experience difficulties obtaining the necessary visa, so it's advisable to consult your local immigration office and be ready to wait until the borders reopen.

Check with your specific immigration office and be prepared to wait until the borders (and the consulates in neighboring countries) re-open so you can go get a Non-B from them

It seems that most immigration offices do NOT consider the "unable to travel due to covid-19" extension stamp(s) OR this free amnesty as days you can use to convert what ever stamp you were previously on to a 90 day Non-immigrant visa (of any type)..

If you're on amnesty, and you found a job, I believe you'll have to leave Thailand and get a non-b visa in another country - as of right now, that would be the country of your passport. Once the borders reopen, you can return the start the process to get the work permit and the extension of stay based on employment.
