  Description:    Hi! I'm looking to hire a sharp developer to build API integrations between a specific ERP and different 3rd party platforms. There will be a ton of freedom associated with the work, so this would be a good fit for someone who is a really strong solo developer and doesn't need to operate as part of a large team. I'm looking for someone who is a hard-worker and detail oriented. Hours are flexible, but will take some commitment to understand the nuance of the associated API's so best to have some consistency!  Pay: $50+/hour to start. If things are going well, it will quickly scale up or you can have equity in what you're building.   Time Commitment: 5-20/hours a week for a minimum of 3-6 months. Good chance to turn into a full-time role!  Location: Remote, I'm down the road in St Petersburg, FL Team: It will be just me for the time being! Contact:      Email: calvinmceathron@gmail.com   ...

Hello! I am the director of Kaleidoscope Circles , which is an institute dedicated to teaching college-level classes to high-school students. We currently have a mathematics circle called Euler Circle , which I run, and we’re looking to expand into other fields. We are seeking an instructor to develop a curriculum and teach classes in the new area. Our preferred areas are artificial intelligence (with a focus on AI safety), computer science, and physics, but we’re open to hiring someone in a different area as well if we find a great fit. Our ideal candidate will be well versed in the subject, ideally having a PhD in the field, since we believe that advanced students need to have mentors who are professionals in their field, and will have interesting thoughts about what advanced precollegiate education ought to look like.. This is a part-time job for the moment. We will pay $50K/year for roughly a half-time job (teaching three evenings a week at first), and we can try to help you find...
