Description of the Job:
I am looking for a developer for ongoing development on an Australian Horse Racing project. The applicant should have comprehensive experience with both front end and back end development. The job will be working on a true real-time (millisecond) streaming application that is already up and running and is pretty much 97% complete. (My contract with another developer has pretty much come to an end). The streaming is processed using Kafka and updates and pulls data every day, which then saves this data into a Database and updates in real-time onto a User Interface. The entire code for the system is written in Python.
The project is based around a predictive model for the Australian Horse Racing industry developed through Machine Learning.
The work will consist of getting up to speed via a handoff from another current developer, followed by approximately four weeks of full-time work to iron out the current bugs in the system and get the project fully completed to 100%.
Once this has been completed I would like to maintain a working relationship with the applicant for all things maintenance, bug fixes, development and anything else that could arise needing attention on the system. I have a lot of ideas in the pipeline and envision the job flow to be regular and consistent, so the 4 weeks stated is just going to be the beginning but this is just what is needed at this point in time.
Currently, the issues with the system are based around Apache Kafka for high levels of streaming data and the system not being able to handle the influx of such high levels of data, mainly on a Saturday when the racing volume is so high, so Kafka understanding is important.
Currently, AWS is used to host the system, the UI runs off of one server and the database off of another.
Applicants will need to be proficient or at least have an understanding of the following technologies:
Python
Django
MySQL
Celery
Celery Beat
Kafka
Angular.js
AWS (Ec2 and RDBS).
Description of the Company:
I am just a person with a project looking for a contractor based agreement for work.
Job Location:

This will be negotiated upon assessing the applicant, please do not hesitate to apply as I am willing to pay the right money for the right person.

Hi alang.
Thanks for your response.
You have hit the nail on the hammer.
I am not a technical person and you have therefore pulled apart my job posting with unnecessary ferocity.
The story is that I hired a developer/Machine Learning expert to complete a project which they said would talk 3 months and would cost a fixed price, it has now taken them 7 months. The project is so close to finished and I do not want to take up any more of their time without them earning more money so we have decided to find someone to come on as a developer and finish the project where their skills are lacking. If you applied for this job you would meet this person and he would conduct the handover.
I have just repeated what my developer has told me as a job posting and therefore it might not be up to your standards.
Red Flags is a bit of an over exaggeration in my mind, I could have easily posted a bland job posting not mentioning any specifics of the job like most other employers do and make you reach out to me to find out more information and jump through a series of hoops. Instead, I prefer to remain transparent and tell as much as possible.
If you are so concerned about the "red flags" in my posting you would have got in contact with me first to raise these concerns.
My email and phone number are listed below and you still are welcome to get in touch and or apply for the job.
Thank you for your concerns.
