Senior Software Engineer (Remote) with Strongest English Skills2

About the Job We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our team with Strongest English skills. We help global senior developers get real job opportunities from US companies. Many developers are busy, so they cannot attend many interviews. That’s why we created a special role called Caller. A Caller is a senior developer with strong technical background, but the job is not about coding. The job is to handle interview calls. You will take all rounds — Intro, Technical, Cultural, and Final. If you pass, the US company gives an offer, and then you will join our team and receive monthly or annual salary from us. - Our company has a full support system. - The Marketing Team trains you, prepares mock interviews, and finds interview schedules. - The Data Analytics Team collects complete US citizen details and gives you the profile you will use during interviews. You will study this information before the interview. - Our HR team will also take care of background checks so everything is smooth for you. In this position, you don’t need to develop or write code every day. You only need to take interview calls and attend stand-up meetings after you become a developer in a US company. This role is perfect for someone who has strong skills and strong communication, who enjoys speaking, and who can represent a US profile confidently. We want to build a global team of professional callers who can pass US interviews at the highest level. If you have strong tech knowledge, good English, and confidence, this job can be a long-term opportunity for you. ⚠️ This is NOT a daily coding or development role.

Complete existing Android (Kotlin) app to match React Native app

Overview We have an existing multi-module Android Kotlin project that is partially implemented. We also have a working React Native app that represents the “source of truth” for features and user flows. We need an experienced Android developer to finish the Android app to match the React Native version (UI/UX + functionality + API integration), and deliver a production-ready build. What you’ll do • Review the existing Android codebase and the React Native app to understand required flows and screens. • Implement missing Android screens, business logic, and networking to reach full feature parity with React Native. • Integrate with existing backend APIs (authentication, catalog, cart, orders/checkout, profile, etc. as per RN app). • Ensure consistent UX behavior with RN: validations, error states, loading states, empty states, navigation, and edge cases. • Fix bugs, crashes, and performance issues found during implementation. • Add/complete unit tests where appropriate and basic UI tests for critical flows (as agreed). • Prepare release builds and ensure the app is stable on common Android devices/versions. Scope / expected parity areas (examples) (These must match the React Native app behavior.) • Auth: login/register, logout, token/session handling, refresh, forgot password (if present) • Startup flow: splash/startup checks, session restore, routing • Home/Catalog: categories, product list, product details, search/filter/sort (if present) • Cart: add/remove/update qty, totals, promo codes (if present) • Checkout/Orders: address, payment method flow (if applicable), place order, order history/status • Profile: user info, addresses, settings • Networking: consistent API models, error mapping, retries/timeouts as needed • State/UI: consistent loaders, toasts/snackbars, offline/empty handling Tech requirements • Strong experience with Android Kotlin (production apps) • Modern Android stack: Coroutines/Flow, Retrofit/OkHttp, Jetpack (Navigation, ViewModel), Room (if used), Material UI • Familiar with DI (Hilt/Dagger/Koin) and clean architecture patterns • Ability to read React Native code to mirror flows/logic (no need to write RN) • Solid debugging, code quality, and testing mindset Deliverables • Completed Android app achieving feature parity with the React Native app • Clean, maintainable code (consistent style, no hardcoded secrets, proper error handling) • Working builds: • Debug APK • Release AAB/APK (as required) • Short setup/build documentation (README update): environment, build steps, signing (if applicable) • A checklist of implemented features + any known limitations Acceptance criteria (how we’ll verify) • All major user journeys match the React Native app (screen-by-screen and behavior). • No crashes in standard flows; critical bugs resolved. • API calls match backend expectations; auth/session works reliably. • App builds successfully on a clean machine using documented steps. Engagement details • Start: ASAP • Timeline: propose an estimate after initial review (typically 2–6 weeks depending on gaps) • Communication: daily/regular updates with progress + blockers • Work style: milestone-based delivery (recommended) To apply, please include • 2–3 relevant Android apps/projects you’ve shipped • Your suggested architecture/approach for achieving RN parity efficiently • Estimated timeline and cost (milestones) • Any risks you foresee after a quick repo review What we will provide • Android Kotlin repository + React Native repository • API base URLs / environments + test accounts • Any UI references (screenshots/videos) if needed

Game Layout Artists to visual facelift a card game prototype

I am seeking a Dextrous-proficient designer (or an experienced board game enthusiast with high-end aesthetic taste) to provide a professional visual facelift for a deck of training cards. The deck is aimed to be used as an exercise for process improvement and project management trainings. The project is currently in a "Functional Prototype" stage. All logic, mechanics, images, and text have been finalized within Dextrous. However, the current layout uses basic rectangular text zones, standard borders, and lacks the "premium aesthetic" required to engage training participants. I am NOT looking for image generation, content writing, or game mechanical changes. I need you to take the existing amateurish "raw" content and make it look elegant, sophisticated and professional. Specific Requirements: - Dextrous Expertise: You must be comfortable working within the Dextrous.com layout engine (managing layers, style inheritance, and dynamic text). - The "Board Game" Eye: You don’t need a degree in design, but you must understand what makes a "good-looking" card. You should have experience playing or handling modern, high-quality board games (e.g., Everdell, Scythe, Love Letter, Berserk, Libertalia or high-end TCGs). - Managing Density: These cards are text-heavy by design. The challenge is to make/keep this text readable and inviting without cutting a single word. This is an educational tool, not a commercial product. - Discretion & Confidentiality: The content of these cards represents internal corporate training methodology and specific process "pain points." As a requirement, the successful candidate must exercise absolute discretion. This means the specific text, data, and internal terminology used in the deck must be treated as confidential and may not be shared, reproduced, or featured in public portfolios or case studies without explicit written consent. Key Deliverable: template modernization. Redesign the base Layout of the 2 most common cards in Dextrous. With your skills it shouldn't take more than an hour. Maybe another hour to fully grasp the concept and to do some follow up changes This is a non-commercial, educational project aimed at improving the way professionals learn to solve problems. If you love board game design and have a "minimalist/pro" style, this is a clean, structured project with all content ready to go.

MERN Developer

We are looking for a senior developer to help us finalise and consolidate a number of projects which are 75% complete. We expect this to be an ongoing, monthly paid role and so the budget is on that basis. We have a legacy system that, whilst functional, is outdated and needs the functionality migrating/replicating in our new environment. The work will include refactoring, adding routes and connecting multiple interfaces to complete the job. You will need to have an understanding of complex data structures to ensure that migration and CRUD functionality is accurate to serve various interactions of the project. Lastly, the platform has a companion application that is built and compiled in EXPO. This will need attaching to the new migration, rebuilding and deploying to the stores appropriately. Therefore the following experience is necessary **Key Responsibilities:** - Develop new features and enhance existing functionality for our directory website using the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, Node.js, Next.js). - Utilise trunk-based development practices to ensure smooth and timely integration of code into the main branch. - Work collaboratively with other developers to resolve conflicts and merge changes efficiently. - Perform regular performance and bug-fixing tasks to ensure optimal website performance. - Write clean, maintainable, and efficient code, following best practices and industry standards. - Participate in code reviews to maintain code quality and provide constructive feedback. - Continuously improve and upgrade the software to keep up with the latest advancements in technology. **Required Skills and Experience:** - Proven experience as a MERN Stack Developer. - Strong understanding of trunk-based development and its best practices. - Prior experience working in an agile environment with regular sprints. - Proficiency in MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, and Node.js. - MUST MUST be proficient with Docker and build architectures. - Familiarity with version control systems, particularly Github and Github Actions. - Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail. - Strong communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively in a team environment. - Ability to manage multiple tasks and deadlines effectively. **Nice to Have:** - Experience with DevOps practices and tools. - Knowledge of serverless architecture and cloud platforms. - Familiarity with continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines. - Typescript experience. If you're after a easy going developer role where there's more work then we can get through then please let me know. No agencies and please only apply if you're used to throwing code out from ticket reference branches - we want to be pushing/building multiple times a day in some situations. Please please please do not apply if you're a junior or mid dev - this requires an individual to undergo a steep learning curve and drive the migration to finalisation. Also - the individual needs to work on the project full time until complete - this is not something that can be done in an hour a day.

Digital Marketing Partner for Our Start-up

i-Thrive Well-Being is seeking an experienced UK-based digital marketing and growth partner to work alongside us in a practical, iterative support model. As a growing start-up brand, part of the challenge is building awareness that i-Thrive exists, particularly within our local catchment and among clearly defined audiences. At the same time, the business must generate enquiries, qualified leads, and—critically—confirmed bookings to support sustainable growth. Rather than a linear “audit → wait → implement” approach, this engagement blends fact-based performance review, rapid implementation of clear quick wins, and concurrent strategy development across paid advertising, organic social media, lead generation, and local SEO. This is a hands-on collaboration, not a reporting-only exercise. ________________________________________ Commercial Principle (Important) Paid Digital Advertising = ROI in Bookings For paid digital advertising, the primary and non-negotiable output is return on investment in bookings. Brand awareness, traffic, and lead volume are supporting indicators, but paid media success is judged on cost per booking, booking volume, and revenue impact, not impressions or clicks alone. ________________________________________ How We Expect the Engagement to Work From the outset, the partner will be expected to: • Rapidly assess current performance across paid ads, organic social, website, and local search • Implement immediate improvements to enquiry, lead, and booking flow • Improve clarity of messaging so audiences understand who we are, what we do, and who we are for • Refine targeting, structure, and creative based on observed response • Build a clear growth strategy informed by what actually converts This mirrors how i-Thrive works with its own clients: measure → interpret → act → review ________________________________________ About i-Thrive i-Thrive Well-Being is a UK-based health, wellbeing, and performance business combining evidence-led diagnostics with structured coaching and behaviour change. We work across four domains: • Healthspan, longevity & metabolic health • Sports performance & endurance • Menopause & midlife health • Executive & workplace performance Our approach is underpinned by a proprietary 5-Dimensional Model of Thriving (movement, nutrition, sleep, psychological wellbeing, purpose & lifestyle). We operate between healthcare and wellness in a high-trust, evidence-based space. ________________________________________ What We Do Diagnostics & Measurement DEXA body composition and bone health, VO₂ max, RMR, lactate testing, metabolic and performance profiling — used to inform decisions, not just generate reports. Coaching & Application One-to-one coaching and structured programmes across longevity, menopause, sports performance, and executive performance. Marketing must attract clients who value measured insight and coached behaviour change, not quick fixes. ________________________________________ Physical Presence We operate from a physical testing and consultation facility in Surrey, serving Surrey, Hampshire, Berkshire, and West Sussex. Local visibility, Google “near me” searches, and reputation are commercially critical. ________________________________________ Scope of Support 1. Paid Digital Advertising (Google & Meta) Primary objective: bookings with clear ROAS Includes performance review (spend → enquiries → leads → bookings), conversion tracking validation, campaign optimisation by service line, budget allocation by cost per booking, and ongoing optimisation. 2. Organic Social Media (Audit & Evaluation) Core platforms: Instagram, Facebook Evaluate the strategic importance of TikTok, Threads, and emerging platforms based on whether they materially support awareness, trust, enquiries, or bookings. 3. LinkedIn Launch – Executive & Workplace Performance Evaluate, launch, or reposition LinkedIn for executive audiences, with a clear content strategy aligned to workplace wellbeing, resilience, and sustainable performance. Support B2B conversations and partnerships. 4. Lead Generation & Conversion Optimisation Website, ads, and social → enquiries, leads, bookings. Includes forms, landing pages, lead magnets, Mailchimp journeys, segmentation, and attribution. 5. Local SEO Google Business Profile optimisation, local keyword strategy, reviews, and on-site local SEO to drive qualified local enquiries that convert. ________________________________________ What We’re Looking For • Experience in health, wellbeing, sports performance, menopause, or executive performance • Comfortable working with start-ups or scale-ups • Strong analytical and commercial mindset • Open to a performance-based or hybrid commercial model • Collaborative, transparent working style UK-based preferred | Surrey-based a bonus Please include: • Relevant experience • Examples of similar work • Your approach to balancing brand awareness with booking ROI • Indicative pricing (initial and ongoing)
