Wanted: Senior engineer to rescue a German AI startup's codebase for $250 a month. (They demand 20 hours a week, meaning you will earn $3.12 an hour to do some serious "vibe coding".)

🚀 AI Product Engineer (Remote, Global)

Web Development Fixed Budget $250 Intermediate level Ongoing project Contract to hire
Client from Germany ⭐️ 5 1 reviews 2 jobs Hire rate 50% Spent $130 ✅ Payment verified 📆 Client since Jun 16, 2026

We are building something ambitious. At Beyondles (Germany), we build an AI Operating System: Beyondles HorAIzon. Companies use it to put AI agents to work on real business processes instead of running one-off experiments. We are not at the idea stage. The platform is built, it is live, and paying customers are on it. 👉 Now we need the second engineer to help us make it solid. 🧠 WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR We are not looking for a traditional developer. We are looking for someone who understands how to build products in the age of AI. You should: • Be comfortable with AI-driven development ("vibe coding") • Know how to use AI tools like Claude Code to move 10x faster • Still be able to read, understand and validate code — especially code you did not write • Have experience with product architecture and scalable system design • Be able to translate product thinking into structured AI prompts • Care about clean, robust and scalable systems In short: you combine engineering thinking + AI leverage. 🔍 BE HONEST WITH YOURSELF ABOUT THIS PART This is not a greenfield project. You will spend a lot of your first weeks inside a large existing codebase that somebody else wrote. • Much of it works. • Some of it we are not sure about yet — it was built, but never really proven. • Working out which is which, and then fixing it, is the job. If "shape something from scratch" is what excites you, this role will disappoint you. If "make this real thing actually hold up under customers" excites you, keep reading. ❌ THIS IS NOT FOR YOU IF • You only copy/paste AI-generated code without understanding it • You need detailed step-by-step instructions for everything • You have never worked on a real product • You cannot explain systems you have built • You ship without tests and leave debug output in the code • You go quiet for a week when you are stuck instead of asking ✅ THIS IS FOR YOU IF • You have built real products, not just tutorials • You can show working examples: GitHub, demos, live tools • You enjoy freedom and responsibility • You are comfortable improving somebody else's code without rewriting everything • You leave things better documented than you found them • You think like a builder, not just a coder • You can communicate and work in Teams 🛠️ OUR STACK TypeScript, Next.js, React, Node, PostgreSQL, Docker on Linux, and an AI agent engine with LLM integrations, prompt chains, RAG, vector databases and embeddings. Python where it fits. You do not need every single one. You do need to be genuinely strong in several of them, and honest about the rest. 🤝 HOW WE WORK • 100% remote, we work globally, async by default • Direct collaboration with the founder and with our existing developer • Fast execution, high ownership • Focus on outcomes, not hours • AI is a core part of the workflow, not an add-on 💰 COMPENSATION • Start: 20 hours per week, USD 250 per month flat, paid through Upwork • 2-month trial period. Seven days' notice on either side during the trial, no reason needed. After that, four weeks to the end of a month. Nobody is locked in. • Nothing rolls over automatically. After two months we sit down and decide together: continue or not, at what hours, at what pay. It only changes if both sides agree in writing. We are looking for someone who wants to grow with the product, not just execute tasks. 📩 HOW TO APPLY (IMPORTANT — PLEASE READ) We don't care much about your CV. Instead, send us: 1. Start your message with the word ORBIT, so we know you actually read this 2. Links to projects you built: GitHub, live apps, demos 3. A short explanation: What did you build? What was your role? What broke, and how did you find the cause? 4. Which AI coding tools you use every day — and what you do not trust them with 5. Optional but highly recommended: a short 2–3 minute video explaining one of your projects One person, not an agency. Please do not apply as a team or on behalf of someone else. Generic applications get ignored. 🔥 WHY THIS IS INTERESTING • You work on a real product with real users, not a prototype • You help make an AI agent platform production-grade • You get ownership and creative freedom inside a clear mandate • You work directly with decision-makers, no layers, no ticket queue • You grow with the company, technically and financially If this resonates with you: send us a message or apply directly. Let's build something meaningful. Beyondles – AI Operating System that do real work

Build a 12-step AI expense pipeline with RAG, database integration, and 16 deliverables for $50. (They generously excluded full banking integration to keep things reasonable.)

Build an n8n AI Expense Review Workflow with RAG and SupabaSe

Web Development Fixed Budget $50 Intermediate level One-time project
Client from Lithuania Spent $0

We are looking for an n8n automation developer to build a small but functional AI-powered finance expense review proof of concept. The system should receive an expense request, process it through an n8n workflow, use an AI model to classify and summarize the request, check it against one sample expense-policy document using a basic RAG process, save the result in Supabase, and send a review notification. This is a limited proof of concept using test data. It is not a production accounting platform or a complete financial management system. Required Workflow 1. Receive expense data through an n8n webhook. 2. Validate the required input fields. 3. Clean and transform the submitted data. 4. Send the expense description to an AI model. 5. Return a structured AI response. 6. Retrieve relevant information from one sample expense-policy document. 7. Compare the expense request with the retrieved policy information. 8. Flag missing information or possible policy conflicts. 9. Apply basic rule-based approval routing. 10. Save the expense and AI-review result in Supabase. 11. Send an email notification containing the review summary. 12. Log workflow failures through an error-handling branch. Input Data The webhook should accept test data containing: • Employee name • Employee email • Expense title • Expense category • Expense amount • Transaction date • Expense description • Receipt availability • Request ID A basic form, Postman request, or minimal frontend page may be used to submit the data. A complete authentication system or advanced dashboard is not required. AI Review Requirements The AI component should: • Summarize the expense request • Suggest an expense category • Identify missing information • Highlight suspicious or unclear information • Review the request against retrieved policy content • Recommend manual approval, rejection, or additional review The AI output should use structured JSON containing fields similar to: requestSummary suggestedCategory missingInformation policyStatus policyExplanation riskFlag recommendedAction The AI recommendation is for demonstration purposes only. It must not automatically make an irreversible financial decision. Basic RAG Requirements Use one short sample expense-policy document. The implementation should: • Load the policy content • Divide it into searchable sections • Generate and store embeddings • Retrieve the most relevant policy sections • Pass the retrieved context to the AI model • Generate a short policy-compliance explanation Supabase pgvector or another simple vector-storage method may be used. Only one policy document and one basic retrieval workflow are required. Rule-Based Routing • Expenses below $100 follow the standard review path • Expenses from $100 to $500 require administrator review • Expenses above $500 are marked for additional approval • Requests without receipt confirmation are flagged • Requests with missing fields are sent to a manual-review branch • Possible policy conflicts are flagged for manual review The rule values may use test data and should be easy to modify. Supabase Requirements Store the following information: • Original expense data • Workflow status • AI-generated summary • Suggested category • Policy-review result • Risk flag • Recommended action • Processing timestamp • Error status, when applicable A simple, understandable table structure is sufficient. Notification Requirements Send one email notification after successful processing. The email should contain: • Request ID • Employee name • Expense title • Amount • Suggested category • AI-generated summary • Policy status • Risk flag • Recommended action A separate failure notification or error log should be created when the workflow cannot complete. Error Handling The workflow should include branches for: • Missing required fields • Invalid webhook input • AI API failure • Supabase connection failure • Empty RAG retrieval result • Email delivery failure Failed executions should not stop silently. Preferred Technology • n8n • OpenAI API, Claude API, Gemini API, or another suitable model • Supabase • PostgreSQL • Supabase pgvector or another basic vector store • REST APIs • Webhooks • JavaScript where custom n8n logic is required Deliverables • Working n8n workflow • Webhook-based expense input • AI classification and structured output • Basic RAG policy-check process • Rule-based approval routing • Supabase integration • Email notification • Error-handling branches • Exported n8n workflow JSON file • Supabase table schema or SQL setup file • One sample expense-policy document • Sample test data • Environment-variable list • Brief setup instructions • Short demonstration video or screen recording • One minor revision for functional issues Scope Limitations The following are not included: • Production financial compliance • Banking integrations • Payment processing • Advanced OCR • Complete authentication system • Full employee or administrator dashboard • Multi-agent architecture • Multiple policy documents • Advanced analytics • Enterprise deployment • Real financial or customer data All development and testing must use sample data. Budget and Timeline Fixed budget: $50 Expected delivery time: 3 to 5 days Please apply only if you can complete the defined proof of concept within the stated fixed budget. Application Requirements When applying, include: 13. A brief explanation of your proposed n8n workflow 14. Your experience with n8n and API integrations 15. Your experience connecting n8n with Supabase 16. Your proposed approach for the basic RAG policy check 17. One relevant automation example 18. Confirmation that you accept the $50 fixed budget 19. Your estimated delivery time Begin your proposal with “Finance AI Workflow” to confirm that you reviewed the complete requirements.

# Strategic Podcast, YouTube & Influencer Research Specialist ### Health • Wellness • Biohacking • Integrative Medicine We already have an excellent podcast booking agent who consistently secures interviews. As our media presence grows, we're now focused on the next phase: identifying the **highest-value podcasts, YouTube channels, influencers, and strategic partners** most likely to generate qualified consultation calls, affiliate relationships, and product sales. This is primarily a **research position**, not an outreach or sales role. Your responsibility is to identify the **right opportunities**, not simply the largest number of opportunities. The qualified leads you develop will be provided to our existing podcast booking agent for outreach and interview scheduling. ## About Us Bluezwater is an education-first wellness company dedicated to teaching innovative approaches to recovery, performance, and chronic health challenges. Our flagship technologies include: * BG-60 Clinical Hydrogen / Brown's Gas System * High-Gauss PEMF Systems We have built an extensive educational platform that includes: * More than 200 educational YouTube videos * Numerous podcast appearances * Scientific research and educational resources * Practitioner training materials * Active websites and social media channels Our mission is simple: educate first, build trust, and connect people with innovative wellness technologies. ## Initial Project This project is focused on **quality, not quantity**. Your initial assignment is to identify approximately **50 highly qualified opportunities** that closely match our ideal audience and have strong potential to generate consultation calls, affiliate partnerships, and product sales. We're looking for carefully researched opportunities—not large generic lists. ## Responsibilities Research and identify: * Podcasts * YouTube channels * Wellness influencers * Biohacking influencers * Functional medicine practitioners * Chiropractors * Sports performance professionals * Longevity experts * Wellness educators Evaluate each opportunity based on: * Audience fit with our products and educational mission * Predominantly U.S. audience (preferred) * Evidence that the host recommends products or services they genuinely believe in * Existing sponsors, affiliate programs, or referral relationships * Likelihood of becoming a long-term affiliate or referral partner * Overall potential to generate qualified consultation calls and product sales Provide an organized spreadsheet that includes: * Show or channel name * Host or creator name * Website * Contact information * Audience description * Estimated audience size (when available) * Social media links * Notes explaining why the opportunity is a strong fit * Priority ranking (A, B, or C) ## Ideal Candidate Experience in one or more of the following is preferred: * Market research * Internet research * Podcast research * Influencer research * Affiliate program research * Lead generation * Strategic partnership research Experience in wellness, biohacking, functional medicine, chiropractic, sports performance, health technology, or longevity is a significant advantage. Most importantly, we're looking for someone who can think strategically and identify opportunities likely to produce meaningful business results—not simply compile lists. ## Compensation This is a **fixed-price research project**. The initial project is to deliver approximately **50 high-quality opportunities**. We may divide the project into milestones so we can review the quality of the research before proceeding with the full project. If your research consistently leads to podcast appearances, affiliate partnerships, qualified consultation calls, and product sales, there will be opportunities for ongoing work and performance-based bonuses. There is also an opportunity to grow beyond the research role. If you have experience in partnership development, affiliate marketing, influencer outreach, or business development—and you're interested in helping develop relationships with the opportunities you identify—we're open to expanding your responsibilities over time. Our flagship products, including the **BG-60 Clinical Hydrogen System** and **High-Gauss PEMF Systems**, each include a **$500 commission pool per sale**. Individuals who help develop strategic partnerships that result in affiliate relationships and product sales may be eligible to participate in performance-based incentive programs, including commission-sharing opportunities, based on their contribution. ## To Apply Please provide: 1. Examples of similar research projects you've completed. 2. The tools and methods you use to identify high-quality podcasts, YouTube channels, influencers, and strategic partners. 3. How you determine whether a podcast, YouTube channel, or influencer is likely to become a successful affiliate or referral partner. 4. A sample of the type of spreadsheet or database you would deliver. 5. As a sample, identify **10 podcasts, YouTube channels, influencers, or wellness educators** that you believe would be an excellent fit for our educational mission, and explain why you selected each one.

Built a platform that has everything from ridesharae to ecommerce to videos and social media. Each section works just like most major companies. Eg. Food delivery works like major platform; rideshare works like uber; live works like twitch and videos works like youtube. The recruiter can select any category (eg. rideshare, food, ecommerce,, etc) and any country (with an initial focus being Canada). Structure (example rideshare): recruiter will recruit drivers. For every driver that is registered, the recruiter will earn each time (permanently) when the driver receives a ride. This applies to every category that the recruiter recruits in. So if food, and they recruit restaurants, they will earn from every the orders. For a list of all categories visit app.strug.ca/login (for platform explanation, visit Stru.ca). No interview or anything special needed. For example, if recruiting drivers, as long as they already drive, they can register on the platform. When you sign up to the platform, in your profile, click on recruit. Each time the section you recruit signs up, add their username there to begin earning whenever they receive an order. This applies to every category. EVERY SINGLE CATEGORY you recruit in

I am looking for an experienced audiovisual artist or creative studio to develop visuals for a four-hour immersive techno performance. The project will combine cinematic 3D visuals, abstract animation, lighting effects, environmental scenes, typography and occasional water-inspired sequences. The visuals must be carefully synchronized with the music and help tell the story of my life and journey through music. The performance will also include documentary-style narration, spoken memories and emotional transitions between chapters. The final result should feel like a live electronic-music documentary rather than a standard DJ set.

Source US candidates for my agency and wait three months to see if they quit. (I'll graciously toss you $100 from the massive placement fee I collect.)

Recruiters for US Roles

Recruiting & Human Resources Fixed Budget $500 Intermediate level One-time project
Client from Poland ✅ Payment verified

Hi guys 👋 I'm looking for recruiters to help fill **U.S.-based roles** on a **commission-only** basis. Please note this is a commission based role, I partner with several clients and receive my placement fee after the candidate has successfully completed 2 months with the company. Because of this payment structure, commissions are paid once I receive payment from the client. Right now I can't manage to fill out that many roles, which is why I'm open to share the commission fee. Payment: Usually a role is between $100-$500, depending on how hard to fill it is. After you prove yourself, we'll be able to take better roles and the commission will grow. Other info: New roles are added regularly, so you can choose the ones you'd like to work on The roles are changing on a daily basis, you can pick which role you'd like to work on. You don't need to have experience, you just need a LinkedIn profile (if you know other ways for sourcing I'm open to that! * Previous recruiting experience is a plus, but **not required** If you're looking for a flexible way to earn commission while gaining recruiting experience, feel free to reach out, and I'll share more details! Just to make sure you've read all of this, put this in your proposal "I'm okay with commission based work" Thanks guys!
