We need a developer to create engaging lecture slides that include videos. The work involves designing clear, visually appealing presentations and integrating video content effectively. You should be able to turn lecture material into polished slides that support learning and keep students engaged. Please share examples of similar work and your approach to combining slides with video for educational use.

We’re looking for a financial creator to produce engaging, educational content for our audience. The role includes developing clear, accurate financial content, creating short-form videos, and helping turn complex financial topics into easy-to-understand material. You should be comfortable explaining financial concepts in a relatable way and supporting ongoing content production. This is a part-time opportunity for someone who can consistently deliver high-quality content and help grow our audience through informative, trustworthy financial education.

I’m looking for a fashion designer to help develop my startup premium men’s clothing brand focused on refined everyday wear. The collection should include high-quality tracksuits, hoodies, sweatshirts, and T-shirts with a style that sits between sportswear and smart casual. I want comfortable, modern pieces that feel premium, mature, and minimal, with distinctive silhouettes, fits, subtle design details, fabric suggestions, and production-ready tech packs. The ideal freelancer can translate this vision into a cohesive brand direction and support the development of a strong, wearable collection.

The target customer is primarily men aged around 23–37, while the clothing should still feel suitable for men from roughly 18 to 45. The customer values the comfort of tracksuits and sweatwear but wants a more polished, mature and refined look than typical sportswear or youth-focused streetwear.

The design direction should avoid two extremes: hardcore performance/gymwear on one side and graphic-heavy, oversized streetwear on the other. The desired aesthetic is clean, masculine, understated and premium, with enough character to feel distinctive without becoming loud.

Fit and proportion are especially important. I am looking for relaxed but controlled silhouettes, clean shoulder lines, well-shaped collars and hoods, jackets that feel structured without being stiff, and trousers with a straight or slightly tapered fit rather than skinny or excessively baggy cuts.

I want the pieces to feel recognisable through the cut, panel construction, seam placement, proportions and subtle signature details, not through oversized logos or prints. Branding should generally remain small and refined, for example tonal embroidery, discreet logo placement or subtle hardware details.

The preferred colour palette is mostly neutral and sophisticated: black, deep navy, charcoal, stone, taupe, olive and off-white.

Fabric choice should support a premium look and feel. I prefer materials that are soft, substantial, matte, durable and structured enough to drape well, such as high-quality interlock, compact jersey, premium cotton blends or similar fabrics. I want to avoid shiny polyester-heavy fabrics that immediately look like technical sportswear.

The overall design should feel appropriate for daily wear, travel, casual social settings, weekends and informal occasions. The clothing should give the comfort of sportswear while visually feeling more refined and considered.

The brand identity includes a subtle water-and-stone concept, representing softer and harder moments in life. This does not need to appear literally in every garment, but it can inspire the balance between soft and structured shapes, flowing and solid design details, textures, seam lines or other understated design elements.

Most importantly, the garments should still feel desirable even without the logo. The fit, silhouette, fabric, construction and details should create the premium identity first.

Job Description

We need an experienced graphic designer to create two signwriting concepts for a heavy transport truck, with the intention of developing a bold distinctive visual style that can later be applied across the client's fleet.

The truck has an existing green base colour that must remain, with new stripes, patterns and complementary/contrasting colours designed around it. The finished design should be modern, strong and recognisable, while remaining practical for real-world vehicle signwriting and installation.

The supplied vehicle is an International 9800i Eagle. We will provide photos, a vehicle template and reference images showing the general style and direction we are looking for.

Scope
Create 2 different design concepts
Develop the stripe/pattern and colours
Work with the existing green paintwork
Allow suitable space for company branding on the doors and cab
Present concepts on the supplied truck template
Use reference images for inspiration only, do not copy them

Deliverables -
Final selected artwork should be supplied as a clean, editable Adobe Illustrator file, correctly scaled and organized for later edits and production.

We are looking for someone with strong vehicle graphics/design skills, not simply someone to create a visual mock-up. Experience designing commercial vehicles, transport fleets, motorsport liveries or similar work would be ideal.

Please include relevant examples of your work when applying.

We're looking for an experienced bookkeeper to manage day-to-day accounting across a small, growing real estate portfolio — reconciliations, vendor payables, and monthly reporting across multiple entities.

We manage a handful of residential properties, including one currently in lease-up and a development site moving into construction, plus an affiliated investment entity. Your work keeps our books accurate and current so we always have a clear, timely picture of cash flow and performance — and it directly supports reliable vendor payments and on-time monthly close.

This is ongoing, hourly work with a defined weekly cadence — transactions updated weekly, ledgers closed within 48 hours, one recurring team check-in — not a fixed-hour commitment, so time flexes with workload. As our development project enters its build phase, this role will also pick up construction draw tracking.

What you'll own:

Reconcile and classify transactions across entities — flag anything uncertain rather than guessing
Manage vendor bills and new vendor setup (W-9, insurance, payment method) before they're payment-eligible
Complete monthly bank reconciliations and close the books (P&L, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow) by the 7th of each month
Keep our existing cash flow and budget-vs-actual sheets current (templates provided)
Track construction draws and costs as our development project moves into its build phase
Support real estate closings and payment authorization setup as they come up

What we're looking for:

5+ years of bookkeeping experience, ideally with real estate
Comfortable with QuickBooks Online
Available to overlap Pacific business hours for a weekly check-in

If you've supported real estate or multi-entity bookkeeping before, share 1–2 examples of reporting you've built (cash flow, budget-vs-actual, or portfolio dashboards) and a quick note on any construction cost-tracking experience.

We’re Cooee Mobile (Please do not call us or email direct), an independent Australian mobile provider. We have an attached homepage concept that shows the style and creative direction, not something that needs to be copied pixel-for-pixel.

We need someone to design and build the finished homepage, ready for our existing developer to integrate into our Node/Express website.

Requirements:

* Use attached concept as inspiration and improve it where needed
* Keep the bold Australian, independent, anti-big-telco personality
* Business Mobile focus
* Hero with 50% off first 3 months
* 45GB, 65GB and 100GB plan cards
* Telstra Wholesale Mobile Network
* Keep your number / no lock-in
* Business dashboard section using our real screenshot
* Existing navigation and signup CTAs
* Official Cooee logo/assets supplied
* Fully responsive desktop/tablet/mobile
* Production-ready HTML5/CSS + minimal JS
* All important text/buttons/pricing as real HTML
* Optimised images and good performance
* No WordPress, Webflow, page builders or unnecessary frameworks
* No backend/API/database work required
* Supply complete source code/assets ready for integration
* Include revisions

When applying: Show 2-3 homepages you have personally designed and coded, and tell us briefly what you would change from the attached concept to make it work better as a real website.

Fixed price: US$150.

- Demonstrable experience handling sensitive form data
- Identity-verified profile with relevant work history

To apply: no templates. Tell me your earliest start time, your expected turnaround, how you'd secure and deliver form submissions.

Job description

We are developing a browser-based virtual jewelry try-on application that allows users to see realistic 3D rings on their fingers using a phone or computer camera.

We already have a working 3D implementation built with MediaPipe, Three.js and React. The application can track the hand, position a 3D ring on the finger, handle basic occlusion and render jewelry in real time.

However, we want to significantly improve the accuracy and realism of the current implementation, particularly:

Ring centering and positioning on the finger
Accurate orientation as the hand/finger rotates
Correct fit and depth
Stability and reduction of jitter
Side-angle accuracy
Occlusion
Performance across different hand positions
Consistency between front and rear mobile cameras

We are looking for a highly experienced computer vision / AR engineer to review our existing implementation, identify the primary limitations, and determine what algorithmic improvements could bring the tracking quality substantially closer to leading commercial virtual jewelry try-on solutions.

This is not a project starting from scratch. You will be reviewing and improving an existing application and working alongside our current developer.

For the initial phase, we would like a technical assessment of the current approach followed by implementation/testing of the highest-impact improvements. If the initial work produces promising results, this can develop into a larger ongoing project.

Strong experience in some of the following is important
Computer vision
MediaPipe / hand landmark tracking
Hand pose estimation
3D geometry and coordinate systems
AR object placement
Pose estimation and transformation
Temporal filtering / tracking stabilization
Depth estimation
Three.js / WebGL
Real-time mobile/browser computer vision
Occlusion / segmentation

Experience with virtual try-on, AR commerce, hand tracking, rings/watches/jewelry, or similar camera-based object placement would be especially valuable.

When applying, please answer:
What experience do you have with hand tracking, pose estimation, AR or virtual try-on?
Have you worked with MediaPipe hand landmarks? If so, please describe the project.
Have you previously improved stability/accuracy beyond the raw output of an existing tracking framework such as MediaPipe?
Based on the description above, what areas would you investigate first to improve ring positioning, orientation and stability?
Please provide examples of relevant computer vision/AR work.

We are specifically looking for someone with deep technical experience, rather than a general web or 3D developer.

I need a developer to create a mobile app for nail art inspired by Procreate and Face Tune. The app should let users draw, edit, and share nail art designs with a smooth, intuitive experience. I’m looking for someone who can build a polished product with strong attention to usability and performance. Please share relevant examples of similar apps or features you’ve developed.

I'm looking for a creative and skilled short-form video editor to work with me on an ongoing basis to create engaging, authentic social media content for my personal development and wellness brand.

I am a counsellor, coach and content creator. My work focuses on helping women understand themselves more deeply, including topics such as self-worth, people pleasing, relationships, boundaries, emotional wellbeing, self-compassion, identity, personal growth and reconnecting with yourself.

How we would work

I will provide raw talking-to-camera footage where I share an idea, story, teaching or message.

Your job will be to turn this footage into polished, engaging short-form content that is ready for me to post on Instagram Reels, TikTok and YouTube Shorts.

This may include:

Removing unnecessary pauses, repetition and filler
Tightening the video while keeping my natural voice and personality
Identifying or strengthening the hook at the beginning
Adding clean, attractive on-screen captions
Highlighting important words or phrases
Adding subtle zooms, cuts or pattern interrupts where appropriate
Adding relevant B-roll when it genuinely improves the story
Improving audio and basic colour/lighting if needed
Adding suitable music when appropriate
Creating a strong pace that encourages people to keep watching
Exporting the finished video in vertical 9:16 format

The style I'm looking for

My content is warm, thoughtful, emotionally intelligent and authentic.

I do NOT want overly flashy, aggressive or heavily edited videos.

The editing should enhance the message rather than overpower it.

I would love someone who understands storytelling, emotion and viewer retention and knows how to make talking-head content engaging while still allowing quieter and more meaningful moments to breathe.

Experience editing content for coaches, therapists, wellness brands, personal development creators or female personal brands would be highly regarded.

To apply, please send me:

Three examples of talking-head Reels/Shorts you have personally edited.
Your price per finished Reel (approximately 30–90 seconds).
Your usual turnaround time.
What editing software you use.
Whether you can source appropriate B-roll when needed.
A short explanation of how you approach the first 3 seconds of a Reel to improve viewer retention.

Please start your application with the words WHOLEHEARTED SOUL so I know you have read the entire job description.

Paid trial

I will initially select approximately three editors for a paid trial.

Each editor will receive the same raw talking-head video and will be paid to create one finished Reel.

I will then choose the editor whose style, storytelling and creative choices best fit my brand for ongoing work.

Initially I expect to need approximately 2–3 Reels per week, with the possibility of increasing this over time.

I'm looking for someone reliable and creative who would ideally like to develop an ongoing working relationship and learn the style of my brand.

Job Type

Long-term | Ongoing work | 7–10 minute YouTube videos

Job Description

We are looking for a high-level YouTube video editor to join our long-term content team for a growing faceless YouTube channel focused on factories, industrial processes, unusual materials, luxury products, manufacturing, and behind-the-scenes production.

Our goal is to create videos that feel like high-quality documentaries, but with the pacing and visual storytelling of successful modern YouTube channels.

This is not a basic "cut clips together" editing job.

We need an editor who understands retention, storytelling, pacing, visual variety, sound design, and curiosity-driven content.

You will receive a complete English script and AI voiceover from us. Your job will be to transform them into a polished, engaging YouTube video.

Example of the type of content

Topics may include:

Inside unusual factories
How luxury products are manufactured
Strange raw materials and how they are transformed
Extreme industrial processes
Expensive products and how they are made
Manufacturing processes most people have never seen

The videos should feel visually rich, cinematic, informative and highly engaging.

What You Will Do

For each video, you will:

Edit a 7–10 minute faceless YouTube documentary
Work from an English script and AI voiceover
Find and select appropriate legal/licensed/usable visual footage
Use stock footage, archival footage, images, animations, graphics or other appropriate visuals
Match visuals closely to the narration
Maintain strong pacing throughout the video
Use different shots frequently to avoid visual repetition
Create smooth transitions when appropriate
Add subtle zooms, camera movements, crops and visual effects when useful
Add sound effects to important moments
Add background music that supports the story without overpowering the voiceover
Use text and graphics when they improve understanding
Highlight important facts, numbers and visual details
Create a professional documentary-style final product
Export the final video in 1080p
What We Care About Most
1. Audience Retention

This is our #1 priority.

We want the viewer to constantly feel that something interesting is happening.

The editor should understand that visuals must support the story and create curiosity.

2. Visual Storytelling

Do not simply place random factory footage over narration.

Every visual should have a purpose.

For example, if the narration explains a specific manufacturing step, the viewer should see that exact process or the closest possible visual representation.

3. Pacing

We want a dynamic editing style.

Depending on the section, shots may change every few seconds.

Avoid long periods of static footage unless the moment intentionally requires it.

4. Sound Design

Good sound design is extremely important.

We want:

Subtle industrial sounds
Mechanical sounds
Impacts
Ambience
Transitions
Appropriate music

The audio should make the video feel immersive, not overloaded.

5. Professionalism

The final product should look like a professional YouTube documentary, not an AI-generated slideshow.

Important Requirements

You should have:

Proven experience editing faceless YouTube channels
Experience with documentary-style videos
Strong understanding of YouTube audience retention
Excellent visual storytelling skills
Good understanding of pacing and editing rhythm
Experience sourcing footage
Good English comprehension
Strong attention to detail
Ability to follow detailed editing instructions
Ability to work independently
Ability to deliver consistently on schedule

Experience with industrial, manufacturing, documentary, technology, science, luxury or educational content is a strong advantage.

AI Experience

We use AI as part of our production workflow.

AI is used for things such as:

Voiceover
Some visual assets
Research assistance
Creative development

However, the final videos should not feel like generic AI content.

We want a human editor with strong creative judgment who knows how to combine different visual sources into a compelling story.

What We Will Provide

For each video, we will provide:

Final English script
AI voiceover
Detailed scene-by-scene editing instructions
Visual direction
On-screen text instructions
Music/SFX direction
Thumbnail concept

Your responsibility will be to turn this material into the final YouTube video.

Ideal Editor

The ideal candidate is someone who can look at a script and immediately think:

"What should the viewer see at this exact moment?"

You should understand how to visually communicate information instead of simply decorating the narration with random footage.

We are looking for someone who wants to build a long-term working relationship, not just complete one video.

Application Instructions

Please send:

3–5 examples of your best YouTube editing work
At least one faceless or documentary-style video
A short explanation of how you approach viewer retention
Your price for editing a 7–10 minute video
Your usual turnaround time
The editing software you use
IMPORTANT:

Applications without relevant YouTube editing examples will not be considered.

Please start your proposal with:

"INDUSTRIAL"

This helps us identify applicants who actually read the job post.

Paid Test Project

For shortlisted candidates, we may request a paid test edit using a short section of one of our scripts.

The test will allow us to evaluate:

Visual selection
Editing rhythm
Storytelling
Sound design
Attention to detail
Ability to follow instructions
Overall YouTube quality

The test will be paid.

Long-Term Opportunity

We are looking for an editor who can grow with the channel.

Our plan is to publish consistently and increase the number of videos over time.

A successful editor may receive ongoing weekly work and become our primary editor for the channel.

* Discover creators across music, entertainment, sports, fashion, beauty, comedy, news, commentary, travel, food, history, lifestyle, relationships, business and other culturally relevant categories.
* Develop and test creator recruitment strategies and outreach messaging.

Community Growth & Engagement

* Help make Blackphoria feel active, welcoming and culturally diverse.
* Welcome and engage with new members.
* Engage thoughtfully with member posts, videos and discussions.
* Start conversations designed to generate meaningful participation.
* Encourage members to create content, comment and participate regularly.
* Identify promising members and develop them into highly engaged community participants.
* Identify great content and emerging creators.
* Help prevent new users from feeling like they are posting into an inactive community.
* Encourage existing members to return and participate regularly.
* Develop strategies for improving activation and retention.

Diaspora Discovery

* Stay informed about conversations, trends, creators and cultural moments happening across Black communities globally.
* Identify opportunities for Blackphoria to participate in relevant cultural conversations.
* Research emerging communities, creators and potential growth markets.
* Help Blackphoria understand differences in interests and online behavior among audiences in Africa, North America, the Caribbean, Europe and elsewhere.
* Recommend countries, communities, cultural niches and audiences Blackphoria should target.

Growth Experiments

Continuously develop, execute and measure new approaches to growing Blackphoria, including:

* Direct member outreach
* Creator outreach
* Organic social media acquisition
* Community partnerships
* Ambassador programs
* Referral campaigns
* Creator challenges
* Cultural discussion campaigns
* Community seeding
* Cross-platform promotion
* Micro-influencer partnerships
* Country-specific growth campaigns
* Other creative low-cost acquisition strategies

You will be expected to document results, identify what works and continuously improve the strategies producing the strongest combination of acquisition, activation, engagement and retention.

Required Experience

Previous relevant experience is required for this position.

Applicants must have hands-on experience in at least one or more of the following areas:

* Social media marketing or social media growth
* User acquisition
* Community growth or community management
* Growth marketing
* Creator or influencer outreach
* Audience development
* Digital marketing
* Organic growth
* Online community building
* Startup growth

Experience may come from employment, freelance work, agency work, startups, creator projects, online communities or independently managed digital projects.

Candidates should be able to provide specific examples of previous growth work, including:

* What they were responsible for
* The audience, community, account or product they helped grow
* The strategies they personally used
* Their role in executing those strategies
* Measurable results where available

Candidates without relevant hands-on growth, marketing or community experience will not be considered.

Required Skills

The successful candidate should:

* Have excellent written and spoken English.
* Have deep familiarity with Black American and/or African culture.
* Actively follow Black entertainment, music, creators, social media, online communities, cultural conversations and current trends.
* Understand how major social platforms and online communities work.
* Understand the fundamentals of acquiring and engaging online audiences.
* Be comfortable conducting direct outreach to potential members and creators.
* Be capable of developing and executing growth ideas independently.
* Be comfortable testing different approaches and using results to determine what to do next.
* Have strong written communication and interpersonal skills.
* Be proactive, resourceful and comfortable working independently.
* Be comfortable working toward measurable acquisition and engagement targets.
* Understand how to communicate authentically without sounding corporate, forced or spammy.

Familiarity with multiple African diaspora communities is strongly preferred.

Cultural Fluency

Cultural understanding is a major requirement for this position.

Blackphoria represents Black culture globally, and we do not view the African diaspora as one homogeneous culture.

The successful candidate should understand—or have a genuine interest in understanding—the differences and connections among Black communities across the United States, Africa, the Caribbean, United Kingdom, Canada, Europe, Latin America and elsewhere.

You should be just as interested in discovering an emerging creator in Lagos as understanding a conversation happening in Atlanta, finding a Black British creator in London, following a cultural trend from Jamaica or discovering what's gaining momentum in Johannesburg.

We welcome candidates from all backgrounds. What matters for this role is demonstrable cultural fluency, authenticity, curiosity and the ability to connect effectively with the communities Blackphoria serves.

How Success Will Be Measured

This position is results-oriented.

Our objective is not simply generating registrations or increasing social media follower counts. We want to acquire people who become active members of Blackphoria.

Performance will therefore be evaluated using metrics such as:

* New qualified registrations
* Activated new members
* Cost and time per activated member
* New creators recruited
* Creator activation rate
* Posts and videos created
* Comments and community interactions
* Returning members
* Member retention
* Referral activity
* Engagement among recruited users
* Growth across different diaspora communities
* Performance of individual acquisition channels and experiments

Vanity metrics such as impressions and follower counts are secondary to actual Blackphoria community growth.

What We're Looking for in an Applicant

A strong application should demonstrate what you have actually grown, not simply list marketing responsibilities.

When applying, candidates should be prepared to provide:

1. A brief description of their relevant growth, marketing or community experience.
2. One or two examples of an audience, community, social account, product or platform they helped grow.
3. The specific strategies they personally used.
4. Measurable results where available.
5. The social platforms and growth channels they have the most experience using.
6. A brief explanation of why they believe they would be effective at growing Blackphoria.

Shortlisted candidates may be given a small practical growth exercise to demonstrate their approach to user acquisition, creator recruitment and community building.

Position Details

Location: Remote
Type: Part-Time
Schedule: Approximately 4 hours per day, 5 days per week
Starting Hours: Approximately 20 hours per week
Compensation: $4–$6 USD per hour, depending on experience, plus performance-based bonuses

This position will begin on a part-time basis. There will be opportunities to increase hours, compensation and responsibilities based on demonstrated performance and Blackphoria's growth.

We have an existing deterministic Python-based reconciliation application that has already completed substantial internal testing.

This is not a development, rebuild, or architecture engagement.

We are seeking one independent reviewer to perform a bounded adversarial challenge of the existing application using synthetic data only.

The reviewer will create a new synthetic reconciliation dataset, independently determine the expected results before running the software, execute the application on Windows, compare expected versus actual results, and document any reproducible discrepancies.

Testing should include reasonable adversarial conditions such as missing or duplicate records, ambiguous matches, conflicting source information, timestamp/time-zone differences, incomplete identity information, malformed inputs, and row-preservation behavior. The application produces XLSX and PDF outputs; the reviewer must be able to inspect the XLSX output using native Microsoft Excel.

The initial review is read-only with respect to the application source code. Do not modify or repair the software during the challenge. If a defect is found, document it first with the exact input, expected result, actual result, reproduction steps, and severity.

The final deliverable should include the reviewer-created synthetic dataset, the independently derived expected answers, test results, defect findings, Excel/PDF observations, and approximate hands-on time spent.

No production data, customer data, credentials, or confidential financial records will be provided.

We are specifically looking for someone with experience in financial reconciliation, data-quality testing, Python QA, and Windows/Microsoft Excel.

When applying, please answer these questions:

Have you independently tested a reconciliation or financial-data system before? Briefly describe it.
How would you establish the correct expected results before running the software being evaluated?
Can you create your own synthetic adversarial test dataset rather than using supplied test cases?
Can you perform the work on Windows and inspect XLSX outputs in native Microsoft Excel?
Are you comfortable reporting defects without modifying the source code?

Responsibilities:
Create, update, and organize tasks, milestones, and to-do lists across projects

Keep project timelines and statuses accurate and up to date
Organize files, comments, and discussions within Freedcamp
Send a brief weekly summary of project status and any blockers

We are an Australia-based Software Development agency looking for a detail-oriented virtual assistant to manage and maintain our Freedcamp workspace on an ongoing, part-time basis (estimated 5–8 hours/week, flexible). The role can expand for the right candidate.

I'm an independent real estate developer and private investor seeking a highly proficient, US-based bookkeeper for an immediate rush engagement. I need 2025 financial records finalized for my CPA ahead of the extended IRS filing deadline.

Critical Timeline: The IRS extension deadline for S-Corps and Partnerships is Tuesday, Sept 15. My CPA needs several days to prepare and file, so the final deadline to deliver completed workbooks is end of day Friday, Sept 11.

Must be hired and starting work by Wednesday evening, Sept 9 — this leaves 2 full working days (Thu/Fri) to complete everything.

Why This Is a Streamlined Project:

-Digital statements only — downloaded directly from the bank, no scanning/image issues
-Not starting from zero — prior bookkeeping exists
-No accounting software required — deliverables are categorized Excel workbooks only
-Clean ownership — all 3 LLCs are 100% spousal-owned, no multi-partner equity splits
-Low transfer volume — ~12 intercompany transfers for the year, plus 3-4 owner contribution/distribution transfers
-Static accounts — about half the accounts in scope are CDs/money markets needing simple interest/balance verification, not line-by-line categorization

What You'll Do:

-Extract transaction data from provided PDF statements (account numbers redacted) using AI/OCR tools of your choice
-Set up a standard chart of accounts for real estate/investment entities, per LLC
-Reconcile ~12 intercompany transfers and 3-4 owner equity transfers
-Compile a single list of ambiguous transactions for review — I'll respond within 2 hours
-Deliver 3 Excel workbooks (one per LLC): Categorized Trial Balance, Balance Sheet (as of 12/31/2025), P&L (calendar year 2025)

Requirements:

-US-based, available to start by Wednesday evening (Sept 9) and work through end of day Friday (Sept 11)
-Experience with real estate/investment bookkeeping and standard chart-of-accounts setup
-Comfortable using AI/OCR extraction tools (e.g., DocuClipper, MoneyThumb) on raw statements
-Handles sensitive financial data with professionalism and confidentiality

We are looking for a specialist to convert professionally captured 3D scan data of vehicle body panels into accurate 1:1 2D flat patterns.

This is not a rendering or standard UV-mapping project.

The finished 2D patterns will be physically cut from flexible sheet material and applied back onto the original vehicle surface, so dimensional accuracy and control of surface distortion are critical.

We will provide high-resolution 3D scan/mesh data of individual vehicle panels.

Required workflow:

3D vehicle scan → identify individual body panels → surface flatten/develop → 1:1 2D production geometry

Typical panels include:

doors
sliding doors
quarter panels
guards/fenders
bonnet
rear doors
other exterior body surfaces

Required output:

Individual closed-vector 2D panel shapes
True 1:1 scale in millimetres
DXF and/or AI/SVG output
Clearly named individual panels
Controlled/minimised distortion during flattening
Ability to compare/validate flattened geometry against the original 3D surface

We are not looking for someone to simply project a vehicle outline or create a visual vehicle template. The resulting patterns must be suitable for physical production and application back onto the scanned surface.

This will begin with one commercial van as a paid test project. If successful, there is ongoing work developing a library of vehicle templates.

When applying, please show examples of 3D surface development, mesh flattening, pattern development, scan-to-CAD or similar work intended for physical manufacturing.

Please also tell us which software/workflow you would use.

Sales Development Representative (SDR) Grain Network, Inc. - Remote, US or Canada only

About Grain

Grain is a managed work company. Clients hand us messy, one-off projects and we hand back finished outcomes: we scope the work, quote a fixed price, source and manage the specialists, and own the result. Our first motion is outbound lead generation for SMB clients, and we sell qualified booked sales meetings, not leads.

The Role

You will run cold-calling campaigns on behalf of Grain clients. Depending on the campaign, you will be calling dental practices, home-services companies, or gym owners, qualifying decision-makers against a tight written definition, and booking meetings directly onto the client's calendar. You are paid for delivered outcomes, not dials.

Responsibilities

Cold call business owners and office managers from provided prospect lists
Qualify every prospect against a written qualification definition, every line, no exceptions
Book qualified meetings onto client calendars and confirm each one the day before
Log every dial and its outcome in the campaign tracker
Work the campaign script and flag what is and is not landing so we can iterate
Hit campaign timelines: our clients buy meetings inside a fixed window, and we guarantee them
Qualifications

Based in the US or Canada, working US timezone hours
Native American-accent English; you will be the first voice a business owner hears
1+ years of cold calling, SDR, or appointment-setting experience
Comfortable with 100+ dials a day and a phone-heavy day
Reliable enough that a client meeting you booked actually happens: verified numbers, calendar invites sent, confirmation calls made

Preferred

Experience calling private medical/dental practices and/or blue-collar SMB owners/contractors
Prior B2B appointment setting with a booked-meeting quota

Shopify Developer Needed: Ecommerce Site for Cigar Lounge (Regulated/Age-Restricted Products)

Project Type: Fixed-price or hourly, open to proposals

Budget: Open — will review proposals before finalizing

Timeline: No fixed launch date, but sooner is better. Compliance and quality come first.

Overview
24th Street Cigar Lounge (GCJ Market) is a retail cigar lounge looking to launch a professional ecommerce store. We're seeking an experienced Shopify implementation partner — not just a designer — who understands ecommerce for regulated, age-restricted, or high-risk products.

We currently use Clover for in-store POS/inventory (~745 cigar SKUs, ~65–70 accessory SKUs, ~810–815 total, ~12 categories).

We like the polish of cococigars.com as a style reference (not to copy, just as a benchmark).

What We Need
Platform: Shopify preferred, but open to your recommendation if you have a compelling case otherwise

Payment processing: Tobacco-friendly gateway — please don't assume Shopify Payments is available

Age verification: 21+ compliant verification flow

Inventory: Real-time or near-real-time sync between Clover and the online store

Tax: Automatic calculation, including handling for cigar excise tax complexity across states

Shipping: State-based shipping restrictions (several states ban or restrict cigar/tobacco shipments), adult signature requirements, and carrier/label workflow

Local pickup support

Phased launch: ~810 SKUs at once; want a practical phase 1/phase 2/future roadmap

Future features: bundles, sampler packs,

Cigar of the Month/subscriptions (can be phase 1 or later — tell us your recommendation)

Email marketing integration (Klaviyo, Mailchimp, Shopify Email, etc.)

Training & documentation for a non-technical team, plus a maintenance handoff package
Ongoing maintenance options post-launch

What to Include in Your Proposal
Relevant experience with Shopify and with regulated/high-risk product categories (tobacco, alcohol, CBD, etc.)

Recommended tech stack (platform, payment gateway, tax tool, shipping tool, age verification tool) and your rationale

Clover integration approach and known limitations

Phased launch plan with SKU-band pricing (e.g., 100 / 250 / 500 / 800+ SKUs)

Itemized pricing (discovery, build, catalog setup, integrations, training, maintenance) plus any recurring software costs

Estimated timeline, noting any steps dependent on third-party approvals (e.g., payment processor underwriting)

Relevant work samples or references
Key assumptions and open questions

Note
This is an advisory-supported search meaning a strategic advisor is helping the client evaluate proposals, so please be specific and avoid generic ecommerce boilerplate.

Deadline to apply: October 12, 2026

The situation:

Our engineering leadership has transitioned and a founder has taken over that role. We run a revenue-producing system: a .NET Core portal with an Angular and Kendo UI front end on Azure, Azure SQL, Windows VMs running scheduled jobs, and a data layer spanning Alteryx, Snowflake, and Tableau. Parts of the stack are on older framework versions and bringing them current is part of the work ahead. We intend to move off Snowflake, Tableau, and Alteryx to more modern, lean, and where possible open-source hosted equivalents, and we are open to moving hosting off Azure. We need a senior engineer who can help us with short-term tactical issues, then help us design a strategic approach to key system improvements while we set up a modern agentic development workflow and software factory at the same time.

What you will do in the first 30 days;

Diagnose and fix a live performance problem: the portal dashboard is slow or not loading for customers. You will have Azure, Azure SQL, and code access on day one.
Map the portal, database, major system components, and scheduled jobs into written system documentation.
Stand up observability across the portal and database.
Review our Azure footprint and billing and deliver a prioritized cost-reduction plan: right-sizing, tiers, reservations, orphaned resources, egress. Then execute the safe items.
Help us evaluate replacements for Snowflake, Tableau, and Alteryx, and alternative hosting to Azure. The output is a recommendation with cost, migration risk, and sequencing, not an immediate migration.
Work in an agentic development environment daily, and help write the repository conventions and the process code the rest of the team will use.
Pair with our engineers so the whole team can work in the codebase.

You

Over a decade as a senior engineer before AI coding tools existed. You have shipped and supported production systems the hard way, and that judgment is what we are paying for.
Deep, current .NET / ASP.NET Core and Angular experience; you have upgraded applications off end-of-life framework versions.
SQL performance is second nature: execution plans, indexing, blocking, wait stats.
Comfortable operating cloud infrastructure: Azure today, and ideally AWS or other providers, since we expect to evaluate a move.
You have replaced or reduced a commercial data or BI platform with open-source or lighter hosted tooling and can talk about what worked, what did not, and what it cost.
You have cut a cloud bill materially and can explain what you changed and what you left alone.
You have taken over an undocumented codebase before and can explain how you approached it.
You use AI tools every day and collaborate well, with the tools and with people.
At least 4 hours of daily overlap with US Pacific time.
Bonus: Kendo UI, Snowflake, Alteryx, Tableau Server, travel or GDS data.

How we work Slack for everything. Jira as the system of record. Small, reviewable changes with a stated rollback. All team calls are recorded and transcribed so context is shared, not lost. We prefer open-source tooling where the economics are comparable.

Terms Paid 10-hour trial in week one with a specific deliverable, then a 30-day contract renewable monthly. Hourly or weekly retainer; state your rate. Option to convert to an ongoing fractional senior role.

To apply
Send your rate, availability this week, and how you meet the above criteria and your interest in the role: Also one paragraph answering this: a customer logs in and the dashboard page spins indefinitely; navigating to a data-heavy sub-page loads after a long delay; a separate BI server hitting related data is also slow. The portal runs on Azure against Azure SQL, and a scheduled job runs against the same database every 60 seconds. What are the first three things you check, in order, and why?

About BTP

BTP Automation runs a hotel sourcing and RFP platform for corporate travel programs and travel management companies. Customers use our portal to manage tens of thousands of hotel rate negotiations a year, and our data pipeline pulls live rates from the major GDS systems. We are a founder-led company with a small distributed team (US, India, Philippines), in the middle of rebuilding our engineering organization around AI-native tooling and best practices.

About Eagle Tree Ventures

Eagle Tree Ventures invests alongside established venture capital firms in high-potential private technology companies. Our audience includes qualified purchasers, family offices, founders, and sophisticated investors interested in the technologies and businesses shaping the future.

We are looking for a sharp, intellectually curious research analyst and writer to help us publish original research that demonstrates how we think about emerging technologies, startups, venture capital, and the trends influencing our investment decisions.

The Role

You will produce approximately 1,000 words of original research each week.

This is not generic content marketing or a high-volume SEO writing role. We care about the quality of the thinking, the strength of the research, and the relevance to sophisticated investors.

Each piece should identify an important development or emerging trend, explain why it matters, and connect it to the future of technology, business, or venture investing.

Emerging technologies and new business models
AI infrastructure, applications, and market evolution
Startups creating or disrupting major markets
Changes in venture capital and private-market investing
Technology adoption and commercialization trends
Regulatory, economic, or geopolitical shifts affecting technology

Second-order effects of major technological developments
Trends or opportunities sophisticated investors may be overlooking

Responsibilities

Identify timely and differentiated research topics
Monitor relevant technology, startup, and venture capital developments
Conduct research using credible primary and secondary sources
Develop a clear point of view rather than simply summarizing the news
Explain complex subjects in intelligent, accessible language
Connect developments to potential investment implications
Produce approximately 1,000 polished words each week
Incorporate feedback and help refine Eagle Tree Ventures’ editorial voice
Properly source important facts, data, and claims
Maintain a consistent weekly publishing schedule
What We Are Looking For

The ideal candidate:

Has experience researching or writing about technology, startups, venture capital, private markets, or investing
Understands how venture investors evaluate markets, companies, and emerging trends
Can distinguish durable trends from short-term hype
Thinks independently and develops defensible conclusions
Writes clearly and concisely for a sophisticated investor audience
Is comfortable explaining technical subjects without relying on jargon
Has strong research judgment and attention to detail
Can consistently deliver polished work on deadline

Experience at a venture capital firm, investment firm, technology publication, research organization, consulting firm, or startup is helpful but not required. Exceptional independent writers and analysts are encouraged to apply.

Writing Style

The work should feel:

Insightful, informed, and forward-looking
Sophisticated without being academic
Confident without overstating conclusions
Concise and enjoyable to read
Grounded in credible evidence
Relevant to real investment decisions

We do not want generic, AI-generated, or search-optimized articles that merely repeat widely reported news. We are looking for original thinking that helps us build trust with sophisticated investors.

AI tools may be used to assist with research and editing, but the final work must reflect original analysis, sound judgment, and careful fact-checking.

Engagement Structure
Ongoing freelance engagement
Approximately 1,000 finished words per week
Approximately 4,000 to 5,000 finished words per month
Consistent weekly research and writing cadence
Potential to expand the role as our research platform grows
Engagement will begin with one paid trial assignment

Please include your proposed monthly rate for this scope.

How to Apply

Please submit:

A short description of your experience with technology, startups, venture capital, or investment research.
Two or three relevant writing samples.
Three research topics you believe Eagle Tree Ventures should cover over the next 90 days.
A brief explanation of one technology trend you believe investors are currently underestimating.
Your proposed monthly rate and typical turnaround time.

Applications that do not include relevant writing samples and proposed topics will not be considered.

Looking for great talent to complete the second phase which is the development of my MVP.

TITLE

Lead Full-Stack Developer Needed to Build ChessCoin — Web, iOS and Android Chess Platform

PROJECT OVERVIEW

We are looking for an experienced lead full-stack developer to complete ChessCoin, an online chess platform inspired by platforms such as Chess.com, with its own competitive league and prize system.

A partially developed website and existing codebase are available. The current project appears to use React or Next.js with Firebase or Supabase. The selected developer must begin by auditing the existing code, architecture and design. The code may be retained, improved or replaced if rebuilding parts of the platform is the better technical decision.

ChessCoin is simply the name of the platform. It is not a cryptocurrency or blockchain project.

We need one highly capable developer who can take primary ownership of the project, including frontend, backend, database architecture, real-time gameplay, mobile applications, deployment and final technical delivery.

TARGET PLATFORMS

The completed product must be available on:

- Responsive web application
- iOS application
- Android application

A cross-platform mobile framework such as React Native or Flutter may be proposed. We are open to the developer’s technical recommendations.

CORE FEATURES

1. User accounts and player profiles

- Email and secure authentication
- Player username, avatar and profile
- Elo rating
- Match history and statistics
- Account settings
- Player status and availability
- Password recovery and account security

2. Online chess gameplay

- Real-time player-versus-player chess games
- Reliable synchronization between players
- Legal move validation
- Game clocks and multiple time controls
- Resignation, draw offers and timeout handling
- Reconnection after temporary connection loss
- Match result recording
- Desktop and mobile-friendly chessboard
- Matchmaking based primarily on Elo rating

3. Elo rating and player history

- Automatic Elo calculation after rated games
- Rating history and progression
- Game archive
- Player statistics
- Leaderboards
- Protection against artificial rating manipulation

4. Competitive paid leagues

This is one of the platform’s most important features.

Players will be able to join a competitive league by paying a subscription or entry fee. Each league may contain approximately 30 players, although the number must be configurable by an administrator.

Players receive league points based on factors such as:

- Elo gained since entering the league
- Game performance
- Number of eligible games played
- Other configurable competition rules

At the end of a competition, the highest-ranked players receive prizes. The intended model is that approximately 80% of the league revenue is allocated to the prize pool, while the platform retains approximately 20%. Percentages, prize distribution and competition rules must be configurable through the administrator panel.

The final scoring formula will be defined during the planning phase. The system must be designed so that league rules and scoring weights can be adjusted without rebuilding the application.

League functionality should include:

- Paid league registration
- Start and end dates
- Configurable number of participants
- Live league standings
- Individual progress tracking
- Minimum and maximum eligible games
- Prize-pool calculation
- Winner determination
- Results and previous league history
- Refund and dispute handling
- Administrative approval or suspension of payouts

5. Payments and prize payouts

- Collection of league subscriptions or entry fees
- Secure payment-provider integration
- Calculation and tracking of prize pools
- Payouts to eligible winners
- Refund-management workflow
- Payment and payout history
- Identity verification before qualifying payouts
- Territory and age restrictions
- Administrative review of suspicious activity
- Clear transaction status and audit records

The developer should recommend an appropriate payment and payout provider based on availability, fees, compliance requirements and supported countries.

6. Coach mode

A dedicated coaching feature where players can improve their chess.

Depending on the existing prototype and agreed scope, this may include:

- Game analysis
- Move evaluation
- Mistake and blunder identification
- Suggested moves or variations
- Explanations and learning feedback
- Review of completed games
- Integration with an established chess engine such as Stockfish

The developer should review the existing coach concept and recommend a practical implementation for the first production version.

7. Friends and messaging

- Send, accept and reject friend requests
- Friends list
- Direct player invitations
- Private messaging
- Block and report functions
- Online or availability status
- Basic moderation tools

8. Traditional tournaments

In addition to the paid league system, administrators should be able to create standard chess tournaments.

This should include configurable tournament formats, registration, pairings, scheduling, standings, results and tournament history. The candidate should recommend which formats are realistic for the first release.

9. Notifications

- In-app notifications
- Push notifications for iOS and Android
- Email notifications where appropriate
- Game invitations
- Matchmaking updates
- League start and end reminders
- Tournament updates
- Prize and payout notifications
- Friend requests and messages

10. Anti-cheating and platform protection

ChessCoin will involve competitive rankings and monetary prizes, so security is essential.

The platform must include:
