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.

Magento 2 – Fix Ryft Payment Webhooks (Lightweight PHP)

I am running a Magento 2 multi-store environment with a Ryft payment gateway already integrated. The majority of the system is in place, but I need an experienced Magento 2 / payment gateway developer to audit, verify, and correctly finalise the Ryft webhook implementation. This is a senior-level technical task focused on correctness, performance, and reliability. Critical requirement (please read carefully) The Ryft webhook must be handled using a lightweight standalone PHP endpoint. ❌ NOT using Magento bootstrap (app/bootstrap.php) ❌ NOT loading the Magento framework just to receive webhooks ❌ NOT relying on heavy Apache or Magento routing The webhook should be received in plain PHP, validated, deduplicated, and only then pass confirmed data into Magento in a controlled way. The goal is minimal server load, high reliability, and zero duplicate processing. Current situation Magento 2 multi-store setup (many stores, shared codebase) Ryft payments are mostly working Webhooks are unreliable or not firing consistently Some order duplication and inconsistent order state updates Current implementation may be too heavy and loading Magento unnecessarily What I need you to do Review the existing Ryft payment and webhook configuration Verify webhook events are correctly received (eg captured, failed, refunded) Implement or correct a lightweight PHP webhook endpoint Validate webhook signatures securely Ensure idempotent processing (no duplicate order updates if Ryft retries) Ensure correct Magento order state updates once events are confirmed Confirm the final setup is production-safe and correctly architected What I am NOT looking for A full Magento rewrite Magento observers handling webhook ingestion Any solution that loads the Magento framework to receive webhooks Required experience Magento 2 (checkout flow, order states, payment modules) Payment gateway integrations Webhooks, retries, signatures, and idempotency Clean, efficient, production-grade PHP Budget This is a senior task. Fixed budget up to £750, depending on approach and experience. To apply, please answer BOTH questions below: Why is it bad practice to load Magento’s bootstrap when receiving payment webhooks, and what impact does this have on PHP-FPM and server load? How would you design webhook processing to prevent duplicate order updates if Ryft sends the same event more than once? Applications that do not answer both questions will not be considered.
