Seeking Contractor for Front-end UI Development

We’re looking to contract a Front-End UI Developer to help complete the prototype for a Digital Humanities project.

Contracting Front-end UI Developer (3-4 months)

Carnegie Mellon University
Pittsburgh, PA

3-4 month front-end job, beginning April 22, 2019 (remote work considered, Pittsburgh preferred)

Front-end developer with UX design experience sought to build a custom theme/user interface for a digital humanities project. The project requires an interface to display custom HTML5 elements with ReactJS. This person will work closely with the back-end developers to implement an existing design mock-up and will need some creativity to translate designs to be responsive to a variety of devices and screen sizes. The interface is envisioned to be targeted for tablet-first delivery. Total contract for up to $5,000 USD.

The theme must be finished no later than 4 months after the contract begins. Development will require some discussions for iterative adjustments. We will require virtual or face-to-face meetings every two weeks with the team to provide feedback and testing of the stable interface; otherwise the schedule is flexible.

Required:
-Strong knowledge of HTML5 and CSS3
-Strong knowledge of responsive design.
-Experience with templating paradigms, React JSX is preferred.
-Experience with UX design.

Preferred:
– Experience working with XML-based projects.
