DESCRIPTION; I'm building a data infrastructure product for ontology-driven AI context: object types, properties, and relationships materialized ahead of query time, so AI systems retrieve connected context fast instead of rebuilding it from raw sources on every request. I need experienced eyes on the ingestion foundation before anything gets built on top of it. The deliverables are fixed (below); hours are flexible — propose what you think the work honestly takes. Rate: my budget is $50–75/hr. That's a hard ceiling — proposals above that range can't be afforded and won't be considered, regardless of quality __________________________________________________________________________ WHO SHOULD APPLY A data engineer / data infrastructure engineer who understands what an ontology and a knowledge graph are and why they matter for AI systems — connected entities and relationships as first-class context, not just tables. You don't need graph database experience; you need to get why pre-materialized, relationship-aware data beats rebuilding context from raw sources on every query. If that framing clicks for you, you're the right kind of applicant. __________________________________________________________________________ THE PRODUCT, HIGH LEVEL: The platform deploys on a client's own infrastructure — we never see their data. Clients connect their data sources, define an ontology (object types, properties, relationships), and the platform materializes it across tiered storage. Later phases add a binary serve layer, SSD/RAM caching, and GPU-parallel query execution so AI systems and data applications retrieve connected context at very low latency. Target customers: companies running AI on complex connected data (security operations, healthcare, financial services) where privacy demands private deployment and speed matters. Storage note: the current prototype uses Iceberg on GCS for development convenience, but the architecture is intentionally built for any S3-compatible storage (on-prem S3, private cloud VPC, MinIO, etc.). Portability is a design requirement, not an afterthought — the platform must never be tied to a single cloud provider. __________________________________________________________________________ WHAT EXISTS TODAY: A working Python prototype: FastAPI, PyIceberg, PyArrow, Postgres, Supabase (metadata + sync ledger), GCS as the Iceberg warehouse. Architecture and design docs are provided for orientation. The cold path is functional and tested: a 31-test production suite ran against live infrastructure at 1M–5M row scale — core correctness, concurrency, failure injection (kill mid-sync, storage outages, lease expiry), idempotency/replay, rollback, a 50-sync soak, and audit checks. All passing, with a written sign-off document you'll receive. That's exactly why I'm hiring you: tests confirm behavior I anticipated. You're here for what I didn't anticipate — structural weaknesses, hidden risks, and edge cases that a test suite written by the same mind that wrote the pipeline can't catch. I'm strong on product and systems design, not low-level data engineering. The codebase is AI-assisted, and I want a professional to find what that typically accumulates. This is a prototype built from the ground up — no live client today. The goal: ensure the ingestion foundation is genuinely solid (data coming in from source correctly, at scale, repeatedly) so a scoped MVP pilot and beta release won't break under real usage. You are validating the foundation before anything gets built on top. __________________________________________________________________________ YOUR SCOPE — THE COLD PATH, END TO END Data source → validation → identity merge → materialized ontology in Iceberg on S3-compatible storage. The data connectors are in scope — they ARE Milestone 1. The platform supports exactly three ways data comes in, and your job includes confirming each one is genuinely production-grade, not just demo-grade: Postgres — full refresh and incremental watermark sync S3-compatible object storage (CSV) — currently GCS via S3 interop, but must work against any S3-compatible store (on-prem, MinIO, private VPC) Manual CSV upload — primarily for testing/onboarding For each connector, production-grade means: real error handling (bad credentials, unreachable source, permission failures, malformed/garbage data, schema drift), clear failure messages that tell a user what broke, no silent partial ingests, and sane retry/recovery behavior. If a connector swallows errors, loses rows quietly, or fails confusingly — that's exactly the finding I'm paying for. No other connectors are planned for this milestone. Three connectors that work correctly under stress beats ten that mostly work. Focus areas across the pipeline: Connectors — production-readiness and error handling as described above Identity & matching — entities staying consistent across syncs (PK merge, fingerprint mode, composite keys) Sync semantics — full refresh vs incremental watermark sync, replay idempotency, delete behavior Relationships — FK→PK edge materialization, rebuild triggers, orphan handling, stable node identity Versioning & audit — Iceberg snapshots, rollback, schema change lineage, sync ledger completeness Reliability — failure modes, partial writes, lock/lease behavior, silent wrong-data risks Code structure — dead code, duplication, coupling, fragility; source-specific logic must stay contained in each connector and never leak into the shared pipeline Explicitly out of scope: GPU execution, query kernels, binary serve formats, caching layers, query-time serving, and any new connector types — all future phases. Your scope ends at correct, versioned, audited data in Iceberg. __________________________________________________________________________ DELIVERABLES (in priority order) Prioritized written assessment — what's pilot-ready as-is, what must be fixed before a real pilot customer (with specific recommendations), and what the existing test suite missed (edge cases, risks, gaps). Active code changes — implement fixes for the highest-priority issues you find, directly in the repo. You'll have full repo access. I'm open to architecture changes and refinements as long as they're clearly explained with reasoning. A change log that teaches — for every change: what you changed, why it mattered, what it fixes or prevents, and what to watch for going forward. This isn't paperwork — I'm making a local engineering hire for the next milestone, and your write-ups become the onboarding record. Everyone who touches this codebase after you should learn from what you found. Fixes go deepest-risk-first. What you get from me: repo access, architecture/design docs, the test suite + sign-off report, and async availability for questions. __________________________________________________________________________ ***REQUIRED EXPERIENCE: 1)Production Python data pipelines 2)Apache Iceberg, Delta Lake, or Hudi (or strong Parquet/data-lake work) 3)Postgres 4)Merge/upsert, idempotency, watermark/CDC patterns Building or hardening data connectors that real users depend on************* __________________________________________________________________________ WHERE THIS CAN GO: This starts as a fixed-scope review. Separately, I plan to make my first part-time/full-time engineering hire locally (Dallas) to build Milestone 2 and beyond — SSD caching, serve layers, containerization, and microservices as the platform scales. For the right freelancer, there's opportunity to stay engaged on recurring scoped work — reviewing the foundation as it evolves and working in conjunction with that future hire. Not required, not promised — but the door is open if the work is strong. __________________________________________________________________________ *********HOW TO APPLY — READ CAREFULLY***** Answer this one question in your proposal, briefly and in your own words: "You're building a pipeline that ingests from Postgres and S3-compatible storage and materializes a connected ontology (entities + relationships) into Iceberg. How do you design the sync process to be reliable and idempotent — especially around watermarking, commits, and failure handling between steps?" Include your proposed hour estimate for the deliverables above. Get creative — attachments and notes welcome. Note on AI-generated proposals: I use AI heavily myself — but if your proposal or screening answer is clearly AI-generated boilerplate, you will be automatically rejected without consideration. I'm hiring your judgment and experience, not your ability to paste a prompt. Short, direct, human answers. __________________________________________________________________________ A NOTE ON TECHNOLOGY BOUNDARIES: ***QUICK EXAMPLE*** FastAPI and Iceberg are what the platform uses today, not permanent decisions. As the product scales, we may want to run FastAPI alongside a second framework, replace it entirely, or eventually move away from Iceberg toward a custom storage format optimized for the GPU serve layer. Those should be engineering decisions made on merit, not decisions we're forced into because the current code makes swapping painful. What I need confirmed: is the codebase modular enough that a change like that stays contained? Core business logic (validate, merge, materialize, version) should never be tangled directly with infrastructure. API routes should be thin entry points that hand off to service logic, not where business logic lives. Iceberg writes should be isolated behind a single abstraction. If those boundaries are clean, replacing or extending a technology layer is a focused engineering effort. If they're not, it touches everything and becomes a mess under deadline pressure with a full team. Flag anywhere that boundary is broken. That's a priority finding. __________________________________________________________________________ FINAL REMARKS: NDA & IP protections This engagement requires signing an NDA and IP assignments agreement before work begins; standard protections given you'll have full repo access to a pre-launch product. Documents are provided on day one; nothing unusual in them. If that's a dealbreaker, please don't apply.

2. The core concept An online marketplace exclusively for verified trading card sellers (sports cards, Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering) to sell directly to buyers. Designed to recreate the feeling of browsing a real card show, online. The two features that make this different from a generic marketplace: Map-based discovery — buyers find shops via a US map with pins, not just a search bar Value box flip experience — buyers browse a seller's box of cards by flipping through them one at a time (card-back reveal, fan animation between cards), with a toggle to switch to a standard grid view Important clarification on value boxes: These are NOT mystery packs / blind boxes. Every card and its price is visible — buyers see exactly what they're getting before buying. The "flip" is purely a browsing interaction, not a gambling mechanic. 3. Business model Sellers pay a flat monthly subscription fee (target: ~$49/month, considering tiers — see below) Zero fees on individual sales — sellers keep 100% of every sale This directly undercuts eBay (13.25%/sale), Whatnot (8%/sale), and COMC (~12% all-in) Sellers are manually verified/approved before they can list — not an open marketplace. This is a core trust/quality signal for buyers. Possible future tiers: Starter ($29/mo), Pro ($49/mo), Elite ($99/mo with featured placement + priority support) — not finalized, flat single tier is fine for MVP 4. User roles Buyer Browse shops via map or category Browse a shop's inventory (flip view or grid view) Search by player, team, set Filter by price and category Save/watchlist cards Follow shops to get drop notifications Make an offer or buy now Message sellers directly Seller (verified/approved only) Apply for an account, gets manually approved Dashboard with stats: active listings, monthly sales total, open offers, follower count Upload cards via guided flow: photo → AI auto-detect details → review/edit → set price → publish Option to add a listing to a "value box" grouping or list it standalone Build and publish "drop announcements" (title, date/time, teaser text) that notify all followers Manage/respond to offers and messages Edit or delete listings Easy way for sellers to print off shipping labels. Option where sellers can put a description on each card, or just like in real life, no description needed and can put a price on the card with a photo and that’s it. Can be an option where you upload all the photos and every card in the “box” is $ per card. Easy and fast way to sell just like in real life at a card show. Jump to the top of the homepage. Different payment options for that. US map (accurate state borders, not abstract shapes) with shop pins If US map is too difficult to start with then just the seller's logo with a picture of a value box below it. Pins color-coded by category (sports / Pokémon / MTG / multi-category) Click or hover a pin shows a tooltip: shop name, city, specialty, listing count Drop announcement banners/strip at top (horizontally scrollable) Search bar (player/team/set/shop name) Category browse tiles at the bottom (Sports, Pokémon, MTG, Graded) Stats bar: total shops, total listings, live drops Shop profile / Value box browsing screen Shop header: avatar, name, city, specialty, verified badge Category tabs to filter that shop's inventory Search input + price filter dropdown + category filter dropdown Toggle between Flip view and Grid view Flip view: card stack visual (depth effect with cards behind), tap/click to flip the active card from back (VB-branded) to front (player name, set, price, condition badge, grade). Prev/next navigation with a "fan" animation. Action buttons: Buy Now, Make Offer, Save, Message Seller. Card metadata panel: condition, year, category, seller. Maybe kind of like flipping through photos on a dating app. Grid view: standard 3-4 column card grid, each card shows image/emoji, name, set, price, save heart icon Seller booth (dashboard) Header: shop avatar, name, city, verified badge, current plan/subscription status Stats row: active listings, monthly sales $, open offers, followers Drop announcement builder: title input, date picker, time picker, teaser text input, live preview of how it'll look to buyers, publish button Active listings list: thumbnail, name, meta info, price, status (Live / Offer Pending / Draft), edit/delete buttons "Add listing" button/flow: Step 1: Upload photo (camera, photo library, or bulk upload option) Step 2: AI-detected fields shown (player, year, set, grade) — powered by CollX API — with confidence score, all fields editable. Future possibility!!! Step 3: Set price, shown alongside a market price suggestion/range from CollX, toggle to add to a value box, category/team fields. Future possibility!!! Step 4: Publish (or save as draft) Step indicator showing progress through the 4-step upload flow Also needed but not yet prototyped (describe verbally / sketch if needed): Messaging/chat interface (buyer-seller threads) Offer management screen (accept/decline/counter) Watchlist screen Seller application/verification form (for new sellers applying) Buyer account settings Checkout flow (if handling payment processing for purchases, vs. just facilitating contact between buyer/seller) 6. Core functionality / logic needed User authentication with two roles (buyer / seller) Seller application + manual approval workflow (not self-serve signup) Database relationships: Users → Shops → Listings → Value Boxes; Listings ↔ Offers; Listings ↔ Messages; Shops ↔ Followers; Users ↔ Watchlist Stripe integration for recurring subscription billing (not one-time payments) Search/filter logic across multiple fields (text search + category + price range) Notification system: in-app + email when a followed shop posts a drop Map integration with custom pin placement (real lat/long coordinates, not abstract positions) Image upload and storage for card photos (Phase 2 / nice-to-have) CollX API integration for AI card detection from photos 7. Tech stack — open to recommendation, but my research points to: App builder: Bubble.io (no-code, but open to alternatives like Sharetribe or custom code if developer recommends and price works) Payments: Stripe (subscriptions) Maps: Google Maps API or Mapbox Email: Klaviyo or similar Card AI/pricing data: CollX API (Phase 2) Photo storage: Cloudinary or similar Eventual native app: Open to wrapping the web app via Median.co for App Store/Google Play once validated, rather than building native from day one 8. What I'm bringing to this meeting 3 fully interactive HTML/CSS/JS prototype files (every screen above, functional in any browser). Really don’t understand this part. Full written concept brief (features, screens, budget guidance, tech stack reasoning) Seller-facing pitch document (fee comparison math, used for recruiting sellers — shows the business model is thought through) Brand colors, fonts, and the "VB" mark already defined Domain + LLC already in place 9. Budget & timeline expectations Budget: $2,500–$4,500 for MVP (open to discussing fixed price vs. hourly) Timeline: No hard deadline, prioritizing finding the right developer over speed Phased approach preferred: Core features first (accounts, listings, map, Stripe subscriptions), flip animation and AI upload can follow as a second phase if needed to stay in budget 10. Questions I want to ask THEM in this meeting Have you built a marketplace with buyer/seller roles before? Can I see it? Have you integrated Stripe subscriptions (recurring) specifically, not just one-time checkout? How would you handle the map with custom pins — which tool/plugin, and have you done this before? How would you replicate the card flip + fan animation inside [chosen platform]? Is custom embedded code needed? What about the map idea? What's your recommended database structure for this, and does it match what I've outlined above? Will I be able to log in and manage/edit the app myself after you hand it off, or will I need you for every change? What's not included in your quote that I should expect to pay for separately (plugins, API costs, hosting)? What's your estimated timeline for an MVP with this scope? I need something that can be built and tested out for seller and buyers to use.

Hi, I'm Matt. I run Honest Aux, a social media marketing agency in Montana. We shoot reels, shorts, and long-form content for local businesses. Real people, real stories, no AI-generated fluff. Over the past three years, that approach has helped our clients rack up tens of millions of organic views. It works because it's genuine, and the businesses we partner with can feel the difference. Right now I do everything: filming, strategy, sales, closing. I need someone to take the front end of that sales process off my plate. --- What the job actually is: You'll call local businesses from a provided list using Quo, have real conversations with owners, figure out if there's a fit, and book discovery calls on my Google Calendar via Google Meet. That's it. I handle everything after the call. This is not a VA role. It's not a research role. It's a phone role. --- What you'll do on each call The goal isn't to pitch hard, it's to have a real conversation. On each call you're trying to figure out: 1. Do they actually need what we offer? (We don't want to book meetings with bad fits.) 2. Can they afford it? Basic pricing qualification, no pressure, just feel it out. 3. Are they interested? Gauge it honestly and let it guide whether you push for a meeting. You'll also be able to speak to what Honest Aux has done for other businesses, real results, real clients, so you can back up the conversation with something concrete when it helps. If there's genuine interest and fit, you book the meeting. If not, you log the outcome and move on. --- Day-to-day tasks - Call businesses from a provided Google Sheets list in Quo - Reach the owner or whoever handles marketing decisions - Have a natural, low-pressure conversation about what we do and whether it might be a fit - Handle basic objections: not as a script, just as a conversation - Book qualified meetings on my Google Calendar (Google Meet) - Send follow-up emails using provided templates - Log all call outcomes in Excel with color-coded disposition (we have a simple system for this) --- What I'm looking for The tone of these calls needs to match the market. Western Montana is a small-town, word-of-mouth environment. Business owners here can smell a slick sales call from a mile away and hang up. What works is sounding like a real person having a real conversation, not reading a script, not rushing through a pitch, not hammering objections. You can hear some call examples in the attached calls You should be: - Experienced in cold calling or appointment setting - Comfortable talking to small business owners, not intimidated, not over-the-top - A good listener (this matters more than a good talker for this role) - Reliable and consistent. I need someone who shows up and makes the calls - Available during Mountain Time business hours - A native English speaker with a neutral accent and an approachable phone presence --- The process right now: The calling side of things is still getting dialed in. I have a reference script and a process, but I expect it to evolve in the first few weeks based on what you're hearing. I don't need perfection on day one. I need someone who can communicate clearly, flag what's working and what isn't, and help tighten the system as we go. --- Pay: - $25-$30 per hour base - $25 per qualified meeting booked - $200 bonus per closed deal (average is 1–2 per month) This is performance-based. Strong callers who book consistently will earn well for the hours worked. Commission can increase for higher qualified meetings --- Hours Starting at 5–10 hours per week. Room to grow based on results. --- Our market: Primarily Western Montana right now; Missoula, the Bitterroot Valley, Kalispell, Whitefish. We're building toward national expansion, but the core book of business is local and relationship-driven. --- To apply Tell me about a specific cold calling or appointment setting campaign you've personally worked on: - What industry - What you were selling or offering - Who you were calling - What your average booking rate was Don't skip this. Applications without it won't be considered.

Senior Technical Project Manager, Healthcare Remote, U.S. (Los Angeles preferred) About the role We are looking for a technical project manager with product aspirations to join Sidebench, an LA-based digital product studio that designs and builds custom software, with a focus on healthcare and mission-driven work. This is not a ticket-running PM seat and it is not an IT delivery role. You will own the hard part of our engagements: running discovery well enough that the build is de-risked before a line of code is written. You will sit between our clients, our design team, and our engineering team (including offshore partners), shape what gets built, and stay accountable for shipping it. You will run 2 to 4 concurrent engagements at any time and be the named person in the client room, not a voice behind a PMO. If you want variety, autonomy, and real ownership of outcomes, this is built for that. If you want a single-product, governance-heavy, predictable seat, this is not it. What you will do Lead product discovery: stakeholder and user research, problem framing, and turning ambiguity into a clear, scoped plan. Facilitate client workshops and working sessions, not just status meetings. Own scoping and estimation: turn a discovery into a realistic plan, budget, and timeline. Drive delivery: budget and timeline ownership, risk management with proposed mitigations, and coordination across design and engineering, including offshore teams across a timezone gap. Make and chase technical decisions with healthy diligence. You will not have to write the code, but you will need to know enough to be dangerous and to push back when something does not add up. Use AI to make the delivery process better, not just to produce individual deliverables. Improving how we work is part of the job. What we are looking for 5+ years running software projects, with a track record of shipping custom software (designed and built for the client), not configuring or implementing a vendor platform. A genuine interest in healthcare and/or social-impact work, with at least some exposure to it. Deep healthcare experience is a plus, not a requirement. Real product instinct: you have run discovery, shaped solutions, and influenced what got built. You think in user problems, not just scope and dates. Technical fluency: you understand the technical tradeoffs well enough to facilitate them and to keep a team honest. Client-facing maturity: you can lead a room, manage stakeholders, deliver hard news early, and push back appropriately. Comfort running multiple concurrent engagements and coordinating cross-functional and offshore teams. Dealbreakers (please read before applying) A background that is purely IT (infrastructure, ITSM/helpdesk, ERP or EHR configuration, vendor implementations) with no custom software design and development experience is not a fit for this role. This is a hands-on, accountable seat. If your experience is primarily PMO governance or program oversight without ownership of what shipped, this will not be the right match. Application Include a short portfolio or 2 to 3 project examples, and a few sentences on why this role interests you. We read these. Total Compensation Sidebench offers rapid career advancement and significant ownership of both product and business initiatives for high-achieving individuals. Total Comp Range: $120,000–$200,000

We operate a national network of unmanned, automated CPR certification micro-locations servicing medical professionals (doctors, nurses, etc) inside medical office buildings, healthcare campuses, and professional suites. We're expanding rapidly — targeting 40+ live locations by end of June 2026 and 200+ within the next 12 months across 20+ states. We need a sharp, self-directed contractor to own the full front-end of our location pipeline: scoring markets, identifying specific properties, vetting them against our criteria, communicating with landlords and property reps, arranging tours, and getting leases executed. This is a high-output, results-driven role. You'll be measured on quality leases signed — not just hours logged. What You'll Do 1. Opportunity Scoring Using our proprietary tools, you will be handed an evaluation of target markets and zip codes to produce a scored summary for each market with a clear go/no-go recommendation list to start searching for individual properties. 2. Property Sourcing Identify specific office suite options in approved markets via LoopNet, Crexi, CoStar, broker outreach, Google search, and direct cold contact and filter against our core requirements for a property. 3. Landlord & Broker Communication Make first contact with listing brokers and property managers via phone, then email Explain our concept clearly (unmanned, automated equipment, minimal foot traffic, no staff on-site) Qualify locations against our must-have criteria before escalating to a tour Handle all scheduling and logistics for virtual video tours 4. Tour Coordination & Site Vetting Brief the on-site contact on what to look for (HVAC access, electrical, signage visibility, suite dimensions) Collect photos, floor plans, and any relevant building docs Summarize tour findings with a location quality score for our review 5. Lease Negotiation Support & Execution Manage lease negotiation correspondence with landlords using our standard lease language template Track lease status, open items, and follow-up deadlines with our internal team to get executed leases finalized Target: 3 executed leases per week at steady state What We're NOT Looking For Generalist VAs who will learn on the job Anyone who needs hand-holding on outreach, organization, or deal tracking - you will be given substantial initial training and some time to shadow successful sourcers already in this role Contractors focused only on one piece of the pipeline (sourcing OR communication) - you will do both Ideal Background 2+ years in commercial real estate, tenant rep, property management, or real estate operations Comfortable reading and redlining commercial leases (we have standard language and criteria — you're managing the process, not writing from scratch) Strong verbal written communication — you'll be emailing and calling brokers/landlords daily - YOU MUST BE COMFORTABLE ON THE PHONE Experience with LoopNet, Crexi, CoStar, or similar platforms Organized, CRM-driven, ai-familiar, and deadline-aware Self-starter who can manage a multi-market pipeline simultaneously without micromanagement Bonus (not required): Familiarity with healthcare or medical office real estate Experience with flex space / coworking / shared office leasing Prior experience supporting a multi-location retail or services business Experience using ai for research How We Work Async-first, remote, US time zone overlap preferred (PT/CT/ET) Weekly pipeline review calls (~30 min) Work tracked in with deal stage, contact log, and lease status You'll have access to our scoring playbook and market criteria from day one To Apply Include the following in your proposal: Brief description of your commercial real estate or leasing background An example of a deal or property search you sourced and closed (or managed end-to-end) Your approach to managing simultaneous outreach across 5–10 markets at once (note, you will be contacting 30 - 50 people per week in this role) NO AGENCIES!

Responsibilities include managing sales teams, identifying new business opportunities, and collaborating with our marketing department to enhance our market presence.

We've cracked the code on medical practice marketing (TRT clinics, functional medicine, chiropractic, aesthetic medicine), our client results are exceptional, and demand is there.

By Month 12, top performers are earning $180K-220K annually with a growing book of business that continues paying month after month. Performance bonuses of $2,500-$5,000 kick in at 10+ deals per month. This isn't capped—your income grows as your book grows.

Most practices are running on referrals and outdated strategies. When we show them modern lead generation, AI automation, and data-driven campaigns—they convert. You're not convincing people they need marketing. You're showing them a better way to do what they already know they need. Ready to Build?
