Content creator and manager for a food delivery startup.

We are looking for a high-quality social media content creator and manager to help launch Jersey Eats, a new food delivery startup based in Jersey, Channel Islands. Jersey Eats is a local platform built to support local takeaways and restaurants while giving customers a more modern, premium ordering experience. We expect to onboard around 30–40 takeaways in the first phase and need someone who can help us build a strong, credible brand presence from the ground up across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. We are looking for someone who understands how to make a startup brand feel polished, local, commercially sharp, and relevant to the food and hospitality space. The role includes content creation and day-to-day social media management: planning content, creating visuals/posts, writing captions, adapting content by platform, scheduling, and helping shape a clear pre-launch and launch content calendar. We can provide some images and brand materials, but we want someone who can work proactively with what we give them and elevate it into strong social content. The content should include a mix of brand-building, community-focused, vendor/takeaway spotlight, launch messaging, and promotional content. We want content that feels modern, appetising, engaging, and genuinely local, not generic, flat, or overly corporate. Experience with food, hospitality, restaurants, delivery, or consumer-facing local brands is strongly preferred. We are looking for someone reliable, creative, commercially aware, and able to suggest ideas rather than just follow instructions. Please include in your proposal: - relevant examples of work - platforms managed - any food/hospitality experience - what your monthly scope would include, and; - your availability over the next 3 months. This will begin as a 3-month trial engagement with monthly milestones, with scope for a longer-term role if it is a strong fit. TikTok experience is a bonus, but the core platforms for this role are Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Please include a portfolio with your application, especially examples of work in food, hospitality, restaurants, delivery, or other consumer-facing local brands. If you have worked on launch campaigns, local brand building, or visually led social content that drives engagement, we would particularly like to see that. We would also like this person to be able to support an influencer campaign as part of the launch phase, including identifying suitable local influencers or creators, helping coordinate outreach, and advising on content collaborations that fit the Jersey Eats brand. Experience with influencer or creator-led campaigns is a plus. Many thanks for your proposals! Marc Founder, Jersey Eats

From Hamm tun to Northampton.

I am looking for a comic book artist to draw my short horror series. Before I go into details here’s a few things for you to know before you send in an application for the role: - No A.I. Seriously, NO A.I! Do not even bother applying or wasting my time, you are not an artist, you are lazy. I will want to see drawings and sketches to show to you are not using A.I, and if you have been then you will be fired. I want a comic artist, someone who knows about comic pages and drawings, and if you have any prior experience on projects great, if not that’s ok as well. You will be drawing some dark themes and images, not awful or too extreme (Such as child mur-der or over the top gore). There will be some sex scenes or sexual acts and some violence but nothing over the top or super-super gore. This is not 100% required but I wouldn’t mind someone from England, as the comic takes place in England and we need to capture the grittiness of England and it’s people. My spelling and grammar can be awful sometimes, but reset assured I have hired an editor and someone who has spelled checked and grammar corrected my work, so the dialogue is correct and edited. Details of the project. I have been working on 6 short stories focusing on the occult within Northampton. If you like Alan Moore or the early John Constantine Hellblazer's you’ll hopefully like this. This story focus on magick (Yes, Magick with a K), taking inspiration from occultist like (Mainly) Aleister Crowley, John Dee and the gothic work of H.P Lovecraft. If you like the occult and magick, great! The story, for a brief summery, is about different people in Northampton and is a kind of pulp- fiction like story, where some events and characters cross over or impact others. I want to contain the details of the story due to not wanting to give too much away unless you are my artist. You will have to sign a contract saying you will not share or copy my work, even if you aren’t my artist and have made it through to the next stage. Just because this project is important to me and I have worked really hard on it for a few months and I don’t want someone to copy it or steal my ideas. All of the stories will be in black and white with only blood for colour, and the styles are usually simple realistic drawings - Think Hellblazer, swamp thing, Mr.A that kind of stuff (I’ll link some pages below). But there will be some different styles, such as how pages are laid out or maybe a different tone. One story is a cinema story, so there will be pages where it looks like the comic is a film tape burning or with film flickers. But you will have all this covered in a guide book. Now this book will detail everything, character designs, locations, styles, covers. Everything. Then on each comic layout you will have extra details relating to that issue. You will also have details on each page, such as how the page will look and what we see. A lot of the details for this project will be in the guidebook, so if you are chosen, or make it to the next stages of wanting to be my artist, I will send you the guide book and that will give you a better idea of what I want from you and what will be seen in this project. The goal of this project is to be my start in comics. I will be putting this online, on globalcomix and will also be submitting it to be published. This is the start of a long series involving Northampton and the occult, so you never know, if this goes well we might be working a lot more together and publishing our work in hopefully big companies. My goal is to submit this to Image comics, Dark horse or other major companies who are mainly independent. No Marvel or DC, not after what they did to Alan Moore and how Stan Lee took the credit for most of Marvel. As I work full-time I will be paying you per page when we are both free. I’m not expecting this to be done in a weeks time. I might pay you in one go depending on the price, but I will be looking to do a kickstarter and go fund me to help out. I can pay you, but it might not be in one go or maybe a few pages per month. One thing I will mention is you do have creative freedom, I will allow you to make suggestions or some ideas on maybe different angles or pages. I am very open and approachable. If you wish to apply please go ahead and we can discuss this further. If you have any proof of your work please submit that as well so I can have a look at your work. Again, NO A.I! Thank you for reading. (When you submit please state your per page cost, or maybe bundle deals, examples of work, a bit about you, and if you want to (Optional) your favourite comic character, series or anyone important in comics you like. In no real order, write however you like)

Research & assess whether events will disrupt treasure hunts

# Background We run 16 self-guided treasure hunts in cities across the UK. Customers play the treasure hunts on their phones, following fixed routes through public streets, parks, squares and city-centre areas while finding clues in their surroundings. Occasionally, an event in a city can disrupt a game. Examples include parades, protests, markets, festivals, filming and large sporting events. These events may block access to clues, streets, landmarks, squares, or other public spaces used in the game. We monitor upcoming events so we can decide whether to: * block customers from booking on dates with serious disruptions, or * warn customers that something potentially disruptive is happening. This matters because if players cannot access part of the route, they may call us during the game (which is stressful to handle), assume the game is broken, or abandon their game altogether. Different disruptions have different levels of impact: * If the start of the game or a clue location is inaccessible, we may need to block bookings or modify the game. * If a square is closed but there is no clue in it, players can often go around it. In that case, we would usually warn them rather than block the game. # Trial task This task is to assess whether 3 events would disrupt our games. This is a trial task. If successful, we are looking for ongoing support with this task and other admin and operations tasks. Below are 3 events in Bristol and York. The task is to research and assess whether these events will disrupt the treasure hunt route in the relevant city. Use the event information, route maps, and your own web research needed to make your decision. Event 1: (Bristol): https://www.bristolharbourfestival.co.uk/ Event 2: (Bristol): https://www.lovesavestheday.org/ Event 3: (York): https://www.futuresoundgroup.com/post/self-esteem-announced-as-live-at-york-museum-gardens-headliner # Recommend an action for each event ​​For each event, review the event details, the route map, and any other reliable sources you can find. Then recommend one of the following 4 actions: 1. Warn players Recommend this when the event affects part of the route, but players should still be able to complete the game. For example: * the area may be busier than usual * players may need to take a small diversion * part of the route may be less convenient, but no clue locations seem to be affected Please write a short message that will be shown to players that book this date, e.g. “The Yorkshire Marathon is on, making the city busier than usual.” 2. Escalate to Paul & Ian Recommend this when the event may affect one or more clue locations, block access to a key part of the route, or make the game difficult or impossible to complete. If you recommend escalating it, explain clearly: * which part of the route is affected * whether any clue locations appear to be affected * why you think the disruption is serious * what information you used to reach that conclusion We will then decide whether to modify the game, warn players, or block customers from booking. 3. No action needed Recommend this when the event does not appear to affect the route in any meaningful way. Briefly explain why you think it is unlikely to disrupt the game. 4. More information needed Recommend this when the event might disrupt the game, but there is not enough information yet to decide confidently. Explain: * why it might cause a disruption * which part of the route may be affected * what information is missing * what you would do next to confirm it For example, the next step may be checking with the organiser, checking with the local council, or waiting for a route map or road closure notice to be published. # Deliverables Please deliver the work as a Google Doc. For each of the 3 events, provide: 1. Recommended action: Warn players / Escalate to us / No action needed / More information needed 2. Notes: an explanation of why you reached that recommendation, including which part of the route may be affected, if relevant 3. Source links: links to any pages, maps, event websites, council pages, road closure notices, or other sources used to understand the event # Additional resources If selected, we will also provide: * these instructions in Google Docs format * full route maps showing clue locations * a worked example of how we normally approach this task # The priority is accuracy It is important that this task is done precisely. Our priority is accuracy over speed. For that reason we are looking for a careful, detail-oriented human (and definitely not someone just using AI!) # Time limit: 3 hours If you reach 3 hours, please stop and give us your notes so far. It's not a problem, we just want to understand how you work. Thank you! Paul & Ian Founders

Trading bot development

Project Overview We are building a high-performance, low-latency trading engine designed for microstructure-based execution strategies in a high-tax (STT) environment. This is NOT a basic retail trading bot. This system requires advanced system-level engineering, multi-core CPU architecture control, shared memory communication, and real-time observability dashboard. The focus of this project is minimizing latency between signal generation and order execution while maintaining regulatory compliance (Order-to-Trade Ratio constraints). The developer must understand low-level performance optimization, concurrency architecture, and Linux system behavior. Core Technical Requirements Python Version (Mandatory) The engine must use: Python 3.13 Free-Threaded build (3.13t) NOT standard Python 3.10–3.12 Reason: Standard Python uses the Global Interpreter Lock (GIL), which blocks true parallelism. In low-latency systems, a 1–2ms delay caused by GIL contention is unacceptable. Multi-Core Architecture with CPU Core Pinning The engine must: Assign specific modules to specific CPU cores Use os.sched_setaffinity (Linux only) Prevent OS core migration (avoid context switching) Modules include: Sentinel (Risk & OTR monitoring) Sonar (Market entropy / regime detection) Oracle (Signal calculation loop) Execution Engine (Order placement) The goal is to eliminate unpredictable latency spikes caused by OS scheduling and cache invalidation. Inter-Process Communication Standard Python queues are NOT acceptable. Communication must use: multiprocessing.shared_memory Memory-mapped buffers Lock-free ring buffer architecture Reason: Standard queues introduce locking and object allocation overhead, increasing latency. The target is sub-millisecond internal communication between signal generator and execution engine. Latency Measurement The system must measure: End-to-end order placement latency Round-trip time (RTT) Module processing time Using: time.perf_counter_ns() Latency histogram logging This data must be streamed to the dashboard. Order Execution Logic The system should: Prefer passive limit orders Include 200ms cancel logic Manage Order-to-Trade Ratio (OTR) Implement controlled order flooding logic (compliant with broker rules) This is not a simple market order bot. FRONTEND REQUIREMENTS (React Dashboard) The frontend is NOT a trading UI. It is a real-time monitoring and control cockpit. Preferred stack: React (Vite or Next.js) WebSocket for live streaming Lightweight charting (Canvas or WebGL-based) Required Dashboard Modules Sentinel Panel Real-time RTT graph 20ms lockdown threshold indicator CPU usage per pinned core Emergency status Sonar Panel Market regime indicator (Attack / Veto mode) Entropy score display Zero-trust gate status Oracle Panel Weighted Order Book Imbalance (WOBI) heatmap Liquidity imbalance % Signal strength score Must use high-performance rendering (Canvas, not heavy SVG). Execution Panel Net Expected Value (NEV) Fill rate % Cancel rate Order-to-Trade Ratio (OTR) status Emergency Kill Switch Dashboard must include: Global kill switch Sends signal to monitoring service Monitoring service writes flag to shared memory Engine halts immediately Dashboard must NOT communicate directly with broker API. Deployment Requirements Linux-based environment (Ubuntu preferred) Dockerized setup preferred Separate processes: Trading engine Monitoring microservice React frontend Google Cloud compatible. 10 MOST IMPORTANT SKILLS TO ADD Attach these skills on Freelancer: Python 3 (Advanced Concurrency & Multiprocessing) Must understand GIL, free-threaded builds, shared memory. Low-Latency System Design Experience reducing microsecond-level bottlenecks. Linux System Programming Knowledge of CPU affinity, process scheduling, performance tuning. Multithreading & Multiprocessing Architecture Designing multi-core optimized applications. Memory Management & Shared Memory IPC Experience with mmap, shared memory buffers. Financial Market Microstructure Knowledge Understanding order books, liquidity imbalance, passive vs aggressive orders. WebSocket & Real-Time Streaming Required for live dashboard data. React.js (Performance-Optimized UI) Real-time data rendering without UI lag. Performance Profiling & Benchmarking Must measure and optimize latency. Cloud Deployment (Google Cloud / Linux VM / Docker) Production-ready deployment experience. VERY IMPORTANT Add this to filter weak developers: Applicants must answer the following: Have you worked with Python shared memory or mmap before? Have you implemented CPU core pinning on Linux? How would you measure internal engine latency? How would you prevent dashboard from affecting trading engine performance? This will eliminate 80% of generic bot developers.
