PROJECT OVERVIEW
I’m building a financial stock news screener focused initially on UK (AIM & Main Market) and then later US small-cap stocks. The system is designed to filter genuinely market-moving news from daily noise.
This is an ongoing build, not a one-off task. I’m looking for one capable individual developer (not an agency) who can own the technical implementation and iterate with me as the logic evolves.
Where necessary, I want the option to work side-by-side in person for short periods, so UK or Europe location matters.
WHAT THE SYSTEM DOES (HIGH LEVEL)
- Ingests real-time and scheduled stock news from multiple APIs (UK & US)
- Parses and classifies news using firstly rules, secondly AI
- Scores news for market impact (positive / negative / neutral)
- Flags dilution, governance and risk signals
- Outputs structured alerts and internal dashboards
This is a logic-heavy, data-driven project, not a UI-first build.
REQUIRED SKILLS (MUST-HAVE)
Please do not apply unless you are comfortable with most of the following:
- Python (primary language)
- Working with REST APIs (news, market data, etc.)
- Data parsing, filtering and scoring logic
- SQL or NoSQL databases (Postgres, MongoDB or similar)
- Clean, readable, maintainable code
- Git / version control
- Comfortable discussing system design and trade-offs
Experience with financial data, trading tools, or market news is a major plus.
NICE TO HAVE (NOT ESSENTIAL)
- Experience with financial markets, trading, RNS or SEC filings
- AI / LLM-based text classification
- Elasticsearch or similar search tools
- AWS or cloud deployment
- Previous SaaS or data-platform builds
LOCATION REQUIREMENT (IMPORTANT)
You must be based in or near one of the following:
- UK
- Spain
- Western or Southern Europe (easy travel to UK or Spain)
Due to the likely evolving nature of the project I want the option to meet in person and potentially work together for short, focused periods if required.
Please clearly state your location when applying.
ENGAGEMENT TYPE
- Individual freelancer only (no agencies)
- Long-term potential if the fit is right
- Paid hourly or milestone-based (open to discussion)
HOW TO APPLY (VERY IMPORTANT)
To avoid generic applications, please include:
1. A short description of a similar data-driven or API-heavy project you’ve worked on
2. Your primary tech stack
3. Your current location
4. Your hourly rate
5. Confirmation that you are open to occasional in-person collaboration
Applications that ignore this will not be considered.
WORKING STYLE
I’m an equities/indices trader with 30 years experience, reasonably technical but not a developer. I value clear thinking, no nonsense honest communication, and someone who challenges bad ideas rather than blindly coding them.
