The listing, marked up

Nothing in the wording of this listing tripped a check. The scores above still judge how complete and coherent it is.

Ledger & Provable Fairness| REMOTE (2h overlap with US Pacific) | Contract to permanent | $120-160/hr | Start by 14 Sep

I'm the founder of Noricum where we build platforms – currently the money infrastructure, ledger, engine and payment rails behind a pre-launch wagering platform with a Steam skins economy. The games, a cashier and a bet ledger are built and live as a front end, with written specs for the server contract: ledger schema, refusal table, round lifecycle, every game's arithmetic. Processing and licensing are secured. The server does not exist. That is the job. You would own:
- A server-authoritative game engine - seeds, nonces, outcome computation
- A double-entry ledger where balance is derived and no client write can change it
- Server-side enforcement of every limit and refusal
- Payment rails idempotent under duplicated webhooks
- Seed custody and the provably-fair lifecycle
- An affiliate system with referral attribution and commission payouts
Must have shipped: a double-entry ledger or equivalent money system in production, a payment integration including webhook idempotency, auth and sessions you built and operated, and infrastructure you owned end to end. Provably-fair systems, settlement-side gaming or trading infra, or Steam trade automation all stand out.
Email [email protected] with your start date and a few lines on the last money system you shipped - what it guaranteed, and how you knew it held.

How this was produced

Highlights are found by rule, not by a model: each one is a phrase matched at a known position, and every note is a template we wrote. The two scores come from a typed-decision model (Jev) that reads the listing against the official role definition and real listings for the same role, and returns probabilities rather than prose — it never writes any of the words on this page, and never chooses what to highlight.

Deterministic penalty applied to the HR score: 4 points (from 75 before penalties). Reviewed 21 Sep 2026.
