MorphMarket is the world's biggest marketplace for exotic animals (snakes, lizards, etc.) with over a million users. We're growing fast and branching into aquatics amongst other areas.
*Culture:*
We run a calm, zero politics, zero finger-pointing operation where the focus is on high-quality technical work, on improving as engineers, and on teamwork (in the sense of solving hard problems by communicating and sharing knowledge).
*Location*:
We're based in the US but much of our team is based in the EU so working times where you overlap for approx half the day in the US is fine.
*Technologies*:
You'll need BOTH React Native AND some sort of BE skills. (We use Django, but experience in parallels like Rails/Lavarel/Express is enough if you know the fundamentals well). We specifically need someone who can solve problems that require deep knowledge of both technologies and previous hires missing either of these two weren't able to crack the kinds of problems we're facing.
Knowledge of WebViews is a huge plus.
Other good skills to have
Django Rest Framework, Swift ,Expo ,App release processes and navigating app store challenges ,Shell scripting ,Kotlin ,Heroku ,SQL speed optimization ,React.js ,HTTP caching ,Queue systems ,AWS ,Multi-threaded code ,Long-form technical communication.
*Commitment*
We're looking for 32 hours a week or more, long term. Contractual basis.
*Compensation*
Let us know your rate in your application form here https://forms.gle/3ApAJAosWFujgrBb8

We're a small startup focused on B2B environmental data management, currently wrapping up a significant redesign. We are looking for a UX/UI designer skilled in Figma to continue where our previous designer left off. The project is short-term but could lead to more work.
Ideal if you're comfortable designing for data management and mapping focused applications and can work with some overlap with US PT hours. Experience with any/all of designing for data management, environmental science, and Vue.js would be helpful.

Location: West coast Canada.
Remote: Yes.
Technologies: Machine learning, Python, Tensorflow/Keras/pytorch, spark, Scala, AWS, kafka, HDFS, etc. A whole host of technologies over 20 year career.
email in profile.
I'm an experienced Data scientist, who's worked on a bunch of interesting projects. With Covid I've come to realize I need to work in public more often.
So an ideal fit would be a small/medium company with hair on fire problems that need solving that I can talk about publicly.
What sort of problems do I like?
A Taxi company in latam hired me to built a fleet maintenance system. It predicted and scheduled preventative maintenance to reduce wear and tear and avoid breakdowns. We also identified the leading cause of wear - leadfoot drivers. So we built a system that would identify aggressive driving.
Another example was a speculative sports highlights annotation system I built with a consultancy. It ingested sports video and identified predetermined highlights in baseball - diving catches in our case. The ML pipeline was a CNN model which fed into an RNN. Given a bunch of video clips of diving catches as training data, it could later identify those diving catches and automatically annotate the video feeds.
Who shouldn't contact me.
If your market is Ads or gambling I'm not interested. Sure there's lot of money, but I'd rather sleep at night. Thanks.

I have over 20 years’ experience building software, specialising in:
• Technical applications (mathematical, scientific, engineering)
• Software for hardware (IoT, embedded, lab equipment)
• Interesting presentation (custom UIs, data viz, multimedia/video)
My target market is start-ups/scale-ups/SMEs needing immediate help with either hands-on development work or technical leadership.
For small to medium applications — such as a UI for a hardware product or implementing mathematical models and visualisations for researchers — I can offer a fully outsourced development service if required.
I can also join an existing team temporarily to give a short-term boost, perhaps helping with a challenging project or co-ordinating a larger initiative across teams. This can include a training/mentoring element if you need to upskill quickly.
Every project is different and will be treated as such, but recently I’ve been favouring TypeScript or Python for web development (with React or Vue for UI work) and Python, C++ or Haskell for more technical or hardware-related work. I have experience with a wide range of target platforms from AWS to embedded ARM.
If you have a project that I may be able to help you with, you’re welcome to get in touch. My contact details are in my profile.
