Software Developers

Look, I’m going to be blunt and hit you with a two-pronged opening here.
First off:

I’ve just launched a software development firm—we're handling everything from high-level enterprise solutions to consumer-facing products deployed via the Apple App Store and Google Play Store—so this hits close to home:

Are there any actual Software Developers on this forum looking for a real career move? We’re talking full applications, a $5k monthly net salary plus bonuses, permanent contracts, and flexible hours provided you hit your deadlines for our turn-key projects. If you actually have the skills, shoot me a DM or just drop a comment in this thread. I’m only interested in serious professionals, because I want to sit down with qualified candidates and get these preliminary interviews moving immediately.

Second: Is anyone out there interested in stepping up as a technical co-founder for a specialized venture focused on financial software for institutions and day traders? We would primarily be developing analytical and quantitative plugins and applications designed to integrate directly into existing trading platforms—think Bloomberg, RTRS, or major retail setups like thinkorswim, Interactive Brokers, or NinjaTrader. Let me be crystal clear: the capital, the infrastructure, the distribution, the marketing, and the entire business development side are already handled by me. The technical co-founder will own the code, the testing, the deployment, the IT, and the backups; essentially, you run the entire technical operation. Again, if this sounds like your lane, PM me or leave a message right here.

Finally; I want to know your thoughts: what specific kind of application, serving what particular purpose, do you feel is desperately missing from the market right now?

Exactly. And just to be clear, I’m only 26 years old, so there won't be any ego issues or power struggles when we're trying to coordinate all of this; I'm certainly not some old-school "executive," "boss," or "manager" type who thinks they run the show, but rather just a 26-year-old trying to actually get something off the ground in this country.

If I’m following your train of thought correctly, you’ve got the vision, but what you actually need is a heavy hitter to execute it and a solid stream of capital to make it happen.

No, I am strictly looking for the muscle. The funding is already locked in. Honestly, I thought I made that abundantly clear in my original post.🤔

And tell me, have you already brought a product into some stage of development?

I’m posting here because I am hunting for a standard Software Engineer to help me out since I’m absolutely drowning in work right now. These products are already live on the market—we're talking about 90% enterprise-grade solutions here. I need to move fast because I’m on the verge of closing a massive contract with a major corporation, and quite frankly, I don't have enough hands on deck to properly support their application. This second project is a different beast entirely; it’s much more high-tech and demands an exponentially higher level of expertise than just cranking out some mediocre, low-level apps.

Look, if you're claiming to offer a full-scale enterprise solution and you're in a rush to close the deal, then $5,000 net is frankly a bit low...

What kind of tech stack was used to build the software?

We leaned into Python primarily because it’s the hottest trend on the market right now, and frankly, it was our golden ticket to landing this client. For everything else, though, we mostly stick to Java, C++, and Ruby on Rails. And look, let me be clear: that $5,000 monthly take-home pay is just your baseline salary. Once the software actually hits the client's hands, you pull a 2% commission, which—if you do the math—is more than an entire extra year's worth of salary. On top of that, we run the exact same bonus structure every single year based on the price increases for the license.

What is the purpose behind this buffet of different technologies? Are you planning to hire five separate Software Engineers just to manage them all?

What is the actual utility of using Ruby on Rails here?
What does the licensing fee look like, and at what point does that 2% threshold actually kick in?

Isn't there a better PDF format for posts like this? 🤷
