SEEKING WORK - UX/UI & Branding I am completely booked through March but this gives you time to plan. If anyone is looking for a product-centric FREELANCE (only) designer who has worked with major brands (can give portfolio examples for projects still in the works), hit me up. I use Skype/Slack for communication and can dominate a product design for scalability and responsive-design as well as kill it for your next branding project (hint, it's much more than just a logo). I am 65/hr and only take on medium to large projects. Again, starting in April but can begin the conversations now.

FREELANCER --- PART-TIME --- REMOTE

We’re looking for a freelance engineer to take on a brand new project behind the scenes at our dynamic company.

`

ABOUT US:

-- We’re the fastest growing player in our industry

-- We're loved by our tens of thousands of clients, who include Etsy, Shopify, Kickstarter, Braintree, JustGiving, SoundCloud, Paymill, WordPress/Automattic, Lonely Planet, Fab.com and others.

-- We’re loathed by the few dozen out-of-touch and out-of-date old-timers in our market.

-- Our API is touching the lives of tens of millions every day, thanks to our clean, no-bullshit approach.

From the beginning our simple offering has organically attracted an enthusiastic and engaged developer audience. Today we're at the top of our niche, serving early startups and independent retailers through to major universities, international non-profits and global brands.

This is a short, well-scoped contract for an entirely new area of our business, with no ancient legacy code to support. It will be fun and fast-paced, with clear deliverables and strong communication. For the right person, we have a number of other contracts coming up.

`

MINIMAL REQUIREMENTS:

-- A calm, creative outlook and excitement to be part of the buzz

-- Strong communication, accountability and authenticity

​-- Fluent written and spoken English (Skype calls required)

--- Python, PHP, client-side and server-side JavaScript, and full grasp of their most popular frameworks

-- Ease with relational and non-relational databases

-- Experience with designing and implementing data processing algorithms

-- Understanding of API stacks, design, structure and authentication

-- Fluency with sysadmin and command line environments

-- Devotion to coding standards, version control (we use GitHub) and documentation

-- Basic front-end development skills (dashboards) a plus

-- Familiarity with the finance and foreign exchange industry a definite bonus

`

Please only apply if you tick all the boxes above and love what you do - if so, we’d love to be in touch. Send the following to jobs[a]cymbalo[]com:

-- A concise* application.

-- Your hourly/weekly rate and general availability.

-- Details of relevant past/current clients and projects.

`

PS. We’re based in London and would love to meet, but remote is fine.

PPS. This is a freelance role - you’ll be responsible for your own tax and workspace, etc.
