SEEKING FREELANCERS - NYC or Bay Area preferred - Remote is okay
Lambda is a talent agency for freelance developers and designers. We help you find clients, negotiate for higher rates, and take care of the business side of freelancing.
- Exceptional talent only: $100/hr minimum rate.
- No recruiters or spam. We're developers too and we only match consultants with projects that fit their expertise and interest.
- Serious clients only: Wanna hear about a disruptive social network for cats that "just needs a coder"? Neither do we.
- Freelancers with side projects or startups are especially welcome!
We've posted about this on HN a few times and have been amazed by the response. I apologize if you applied last month and we haven't gotten back to you yet. We interview everyone personally and are still ramping up the process. We'll reach out as soon as we can!
Right now, we're particularly looking for NYC Rails devs. If that sounds like you, shoot me an email and I'll bump you to the top of the queue.
Yes. Specifically, we're focusing on NYC and the Bay Area first.
Most people we speak to are open to consultants that work remotely, but prefer devs that can occasionally be on-site for kick-off meetings and the like. If you can meet with a client once a week, that gives you a tremendous advantage over devs that are entirely remote.
BSD, ZFS, OpenSSH, PAM: Distributed, Encrypted Open Source Data Sync, Share, & Storage with Bitcoin Message Signing
Project: http://electrum.org - Lightweight Bitcoin thin client, as advocated for by Satoshi Nakamoto [1]
Developed by Dr. Thomas Voegtlin, French PhD neuroscientist, Electrum
is an exceptionally simple Bitcoin wallet written in Python, that
protects you from losing your Bitcoins due to backup mistakes or computer
failure. Electrum automatically generates with each newly created wallet a
list of twelve common words from English poetry, which Thomas hand-picked
specifically to aid in memorization and long-term recall.
You must be willing to make extensive use of IRC for communication,
and you should probably at least possess a passing interest in Bitcoin,
if you want to take on this project.
I'm looking for a systems engineer who can think about problems
creatively. I've been agonizing over how to appropriately handle data
sync, share, and storage. I've considered everything from Tahoe-LAFS to
BitTorrent, from a simple Flask API to Git. I'm looking for the simplest
possible solution. If this sounds even slightly interesting please email
me at:
My background is in math (real analysis, probability, discrete maths) and computer science (randomized algorithms, AI / epistemic logic, machine learning). I'm comfortable with clojure, python, erlang and ocaml and I learn fast.
I'm also interested in partnering with other freelance developers to cover the whole stack.
SEEKING FREELANCERS: DuckDuckGo (remote or local in Paoli, PA)
All of our full-time staff started freelancing with us for an extended period of time. If you're an avid DuckDuckGo user who is excited about what we're trying to accomplish check out https://dukgo.com/help/en_US/company/hiring
PROJECT: Shopular (shopular.com) is a mobile shopping app. We have a lot of interesting usage data which we want to analyze and visualize. We are a small fun team and this project will get a lot of external visibility. Both roles have a chance of turning into longer projects / fill-time.
DATA AND VISUALIZATION ENGINEER: You can comfortably work with huge data files (GBs) and proficient in a scripting language like python/ruby to massage that data to get interesting aggregates and insights. You can visualize the insights using a package like D3js. Prior D3 experience huge plus, especially with visualizations on a map.
DESIGNER: You have experience building infographics and other visualizations. You are very creative, self guided and can take off from a concept/idea. Please point to prior work.
If you think you are a good fit for either role above, we'd love to hear from you ASAP.

SEEKING FREELANCERS - Bay Area, CA / Remote is fine
Looking for javascript developers with a skill level anywhere from "reasonably comfortable" to "super amazing"
We have a ton of very small tasks that need to be completed for a large project (ex: "implement this single test case as described" or "add pagination to this API route"). The context of the work is roughly data and analytics for server farms.
The nice thing about these tasks is that there are very many, and they are very specific in terms of deliverables (ex: the test case either passes or doesn't), and they're pretty small, so we're pretty flexible about the amount of work, and we can try each other out with a few small tasks.
Web & mobile design/development. I can (and do!) work at all stages of the process, from mockups to front end build to building out the backend & API's.
Web: HTML 5, CSS, Javascript, PHP (particularly Codeigniter), some server JS.
Mobile apps: iOS, Android, mainly use Titanium but have used Phonegap too.
Previous work includes e-commerce, web apps, API development, frontend build, app design... the list goes on.
Can supply links to sites & apps on request. Contact in profile. Ageing personal site at http://pitbot.net
My name is Ram Rachum, and I’m a freelance software developer. I help businesses solve their problems using software, mostly by developing web-based applications.
I work mainly in Python and Django.
On the technical level, it’s my responsibility to have high problem-solving skills; to design a good architecture for each project I work on; to implement that architecture quickly and effectively; and to be experienced with the languages and frameworks that I’m using, so when a problem comes up, I don’t have to spend 2 hours to research and solve it but rather just 5 minutes, because I’ve seen that problem dozen of times before.
On the project-management level, it’s my responsibility to communicate clearly and honestly with the client and my collaborators on the project; to understand exactly what the client wants to build as we plan together how to build it; to always keep the client updated about progress; to have an owner mentality and make decisions with the best interest of the client in mind; to own up to mistakes when they happen; and to always get feedback as early as possible from the client and from the users, so we know we’re not wasting time going into blind alleys, and we’re spending time only on features that the users are happy with.
My email is ram@rachum.com . Send me an email and say hello.

I've been building web based projects for myself and professionally for the past 6+ years. I'm most familiar with the following technologies: PHP(CodeIgniter), Python(Django), Javascript(node.js, backbone, angular) and MySQL/MongoDB/Solr. I left my employer earlier this year where I was lead developer for 2 of their largest sites to begin doing contract/freelance work again.

SEEKING WORK - Colorado (Front Range, Denver, Boulder, FtC)
on-site possible as needed but off-site/REMOTE is ideal
programming since age 10. can do contract/freelance work (have done it many times successfully in the past for variety of clients/projects) and, among other experiences, was once a salaried staff senior software engineer for Orbitz in Chicago. wide variety of languages, platforms, tech stacks, domains. prefer Python, Java, C, Linux, Unixy & open source ecosystem, CLI's and backends. web dev. mobile. desktop apps. games. performance & scalability (and thus "Big Data"). tooling. automation. prototypes. startups. Read classic CS papers in bed at night for fun. Have designed and written my own software and brought to market. Python is my favorite language now but have had periods in the past where I did C or Java daily for many years. Experience as a startup CTO. Wrote a comedy novella and published that earlier this year. Maintain my own Rogue-like (on GitHub, in Python.) Written outline for a planned book on Software Performance & Scalability and writing the first few chapters is underway. I have a track record of solving difficult technical problems that either stumped or were missed (or, often, caused) by previous developers, and of Getting Things Done. I ship. I love agile and I love iterating. And transparency and automation.
Need help getting a project from idea to production while achieving a good balance of scalability vs time constraints?
Need someone that can come in an help out your team in a crunch?
Need someone to help you with heading up your technical team?
I am a full-stack developer with CTO experience. I take on all types of projects: front end web, mobile, back end server, database, devops, custom software solutions, and hardware integrations.
Cloud Platforms:
Amazon Web Services, Heroku, Windows Azure
Database:
MongoDB, MySQL, GAE Datastore, Elastic Search, MS SQL Server, Berkeley
Management:
I have experience creating company/project budgets, making HR decisions, deciding company/product direction, managing a small team, and creating complete project plans.

Data-centric developer, currently immersed in Python after a lengthy and generally happy career with OO Perl, and past lives in Java and C -- involving, among other things, a fair amount of web crawling & data modeling, DML/DDL on various SQL platforms, and occasional frontend / backend web development. Available for part-time / full-time freelance engagements until Spring of 2014, and perhaps for permanent positions thereafter.
On other fronts -- U.S. citizen; NYC resident; hard science degree. I don't come from a formal Machine Learning background, but having done a bit of work in NLP & sentiment analysis, I'd be highly motivated to take on opportunities to build out my skills in this area. I also like being challenged to learn (interesting) languages at the drop of a hat, and would be keenly interested in diving into (for example) Scala, Erlang, Clojure, Haskell, Go, R, or Julia. In any case, most of my work in the past few years has involved "data husbandry" to a significant degree, and I'd very much like to keep investing in this general direction (but a lucid web development project can potentially be
quite interesting, also).
BTW, I'll be at PyData this weekend if you'd like to meet up spontaneously & chat; otherwise, just drop me a short note describing what you're working on, & what you're looking for in a collaborator (beyond the usual keyword filler), & we'll take it from there.

I'm big on efficiency and DRY methodology both in coding and in processes. I enjoy thinking about solutions on how to make a team work better as much as I enjoy thinking about how to create an elegant solution.
I have lots of experience designing simple interfaces for complicated websites. I also believe in launching code often and breaking a problem down into small parts that can be delivered in days rather than months. There really is no reason why there can't at least be some soft internal or private launch that can get users playing with something.
I would like to work with a company or someone that has interesting problems to solve. I'm at my best when I'm working with people that enjoy discussing and trying to figure out elegant solutions and are self motivated to produce great results.
For any questions or if you would like to chat you can contact me at rob@duchnik.com

Content is king if you want to be heard above the noise of the Internet. But if you're heads-down focused on building a product or making sales, you probably don't have time to make quality content for your inbound marketing program. And if you do have time, the stress of wrangling SMEs, getting consensus and approval, and building content that's as awesome as your company is can be killer.
# I help you solve content problems
I have seven years of experience writing engaging content that helps business persuade, inform, and educate. Before that, I spent ten years learning about, using, and training adults to use complicated technology. Because of this background, I'm able to make knotty, complex subjects easily understood using a variety of media, and enliven prosaic subjects with colorful analogies, custom visuals, and backstories. I write short and long-form white papers, case studies, howto guides, and web copy, and I get projects from concept to completion with as much or as little of your involvement as you want.
I combine disciplined project management with a flexible work style to integrate smoothly with even the most harried product or marketing team. And I'm practically a mind reader when it comes to talking with SMEs.
# I can help
If you have a content problem, or you need new content for your marketing efforts, let me know and I'll gladly take some time to chat with you about potential solutions. If I'm the right fit for your needs, I'll share work samples and work up a proposal.

Heavy/primary OS Linux user since the late 90's and working on the admin end (now trendily "devops") since the early 00's. Mostly have worked with small and mid-size businesses.

Let's chat.
Also familiar with Ruby/Rails, HTML, CSS3 and some popular frameworks, shell scripting, MySQL, and am generally a quick study. I'm interested in moving more toward the dev end of the spectrum, so blended projects are especially welcome.

About You
You're a Technical-Geek/Copywriter Hybrid. You are a technophile by nature, and love learning about and exploring new technologies. You don't have to be an engineer, but you should have a solid grasp of things like MVC, agile development, etc. If you know the other side of the shop (user-centered design), you get bonus points. Basically, you need to be able to speak intelligently about software development, specifically as it relates to Mobile.
Also, you should be very good at breaking down complicated ideas into bite-sized morsels of "oohhh, I get it" gooeyness. Our target audience are the business-people who make decisions about technologies to use inside of companies. The rare few are engineers. Most are not. If you can connect well with these people (the challenges of working inside a big co., getting projects out the door, playing the political games, etc.), then you will get more bonus points! :)
About the Work
We are creating a series of guides as a part of a larger content-marketing vision. The guides we write will cover topics like, "How to vet and hire a great mobility firm," "Best practices for creating a compelling mobile experience," "Advanced guide to understanding the cross-platform tools available", etc.
We have 2 full-time, awesome designers, who you will work closely with to make the pieces super-compelling. We will loosely borrow the style of these guides:
SEEKING WORK - remote, short to medium term projects - zak.wilson@gmail.com
I make software - mostly full-stack web development and HTTP APIs, but I'm adaptable. I have some interest in artificial intelligence and machine learning. I can do stuff that's harder than basic CRUD apps.
Stuff I know well: Clojure, Ruby (with or without Rails), Python, Django, Javascript, Lua, PostgreSQL, MySQL.
Other stuff I've used for something non-trivial at least once: Common Lisp, Scheme, Java, SASS, C, PHP, Haskell, Bash, Perl, MongoDB.
Yes, I can probably pick up that language or tool you're using that nobody has ever heard of.
Github (perhaps a bit dusty): https://github.com/zakwilson
My current focus is Django/Python development work, although I also have experience with WordPress, PHP, and a variety of other technologies. I can write HTML, CSS, and JavaScript by hand, configure and secure your Linux server, or even optimize Apache or nginx so that your website can scale to thousands of visitors.
I can build your MVP or help you maintain and improve an existing website. I write technical specifications, use comments in my code, and am adept at Git.
I'm a full-stack web dev-ops interested in end-to-end delivery of projects. I have worked in the capacity of team lead and can help build teams if you are just starting out. I also have experience setting up highly available and scalable clusters from scratch for products with a reasonably large base. So, I can help you move out of the MVP building phase into stable production cycles.
I am looking for a person to create a website. The website will be a minimalistic, barebones bitcoin wallet with only the basic functions. The entire website will be 1 page. Layout/looks are not important, I am looking for the following functionalities:
- User accounts
- Bitcoin balance displayed for each user
- Withdraw/deposit buttons so users can deposit or withdraw from their bitcoin balance
- When a user deposits bitcoins, the bitcoins will go to a central bitcoin wallet for the entire site, but each user has his own balance based on how much s/he deposited
That's it. No social media or anything like that. Message me for clarification/details if you are interested.

At Gro Ventures, we are pioneering agricultural supercomputing as a means to transform Africa into a breadbasket for the world in a span of 20 years. African agriculture is riddled with inefficiencies rooted in the lack of free-flowing, real-time information—a necessary component for data-driven reform and the creation of a truly functional commodities market. Data visualization is at the heart of agricultural supercomputing, defined as the integration of various technologies widely used around the world today to create the first real-time agricultural data analytics platform for Africa. Through agroinformatics and state of the art data visualization, we will for the first time in Africa’s history allow real time data driven decision making.
The project will consist of building several customized web visualizations based off the results of an agricultural study of several countries. We are seeking individuals or teams who can develop a visualization application consisting of pricing, yield, weather and various other economic and commodities driven data. You will work directly with our Head Data Scientist and Research Analysts to design and implement a state-of-the-art web visualization.
We are looking for talented, experienced engineers to work out of NYC for a period of 4-12 weeks depending on agreed upon timelines and deliverables.
Candidates must be proficient in the following areas:
-Extensive Javascript and CSS experience.
-Experience with one or more SVG or Canvas-based visualization toolkits, i.e. D3.js, or a keen interest in learning.
-Know the ins and outs of websockets and AJAX communications with various backend data services.
-Understand data binding and have used MV* frameworks enough to be dangerous.
-Prior data analysis experience (even at the Excel level) very useful.
-Basic understanding of financial concepts, including pricing and returns
Interested candidates should submit a resume or LinkedIn profile by email to info@gro-ventures.com with the subject line D3 Front-End and Data Visualization Consultant.

(using Xamarin / MonoTouch / MonoDroid)

I often utilise Test Driven Development, and strive to produce clean, maintainable code.
More backend focused than front-end, but have good experience of working with standards-compliant HTML, CSS, JS as well as JQuery and D3.
I am particularly skilled at working with large legacy code bases.
My situation: Currently I'm working in algorithmic trading in NYC, but for various reasons I will be moving to Toronto sometime early 2014. This is my first time posting something like this, but it may be worth a shot. Therefore I am looking for something either remote or in the Toronto area.

No recruiters please
You keep 100% of your income, but employers do set a nominal amount of credits (usually $1-3) per bid on their projects. This is really beneficial for both parties. If you've ever used other freelance marketplaces, you'll know that it's difficult to get noticed when you drown in a sea of bids. And usually, the freelancers never even read the project description. The bid fee ensures that freelancers are serious and qualified for the job, reducing spam and making you much more noticeable.
