[Hiring] (online/remote) Looking for a UI/UX frontend developer to build a high-quality landing page prototype
Rate: $40/hour
We're an early-stage startup looking for a developer/designer to help us create a polished, high-quality landing page prototype.
We're specifically looking for someone who combines strong UX/UI skills with solid frontend engineering, while also being comfortable implementing a small functional backend.
Since we're a startup, we're looking for someone who enjoys building from an early-stage idea, thinking independently, making product decisions, and turning a rough concept into something polished and usable.
This is not just about making something that looks good. We want the project to demonstrate your skills across:
- UX/UI design
- Responsive frontend development
- Animations and micro-interactions
- Component architecture
- Backend/API development
- Forms and data handling
- Clean code and project structure
- Performance and accessibility
- Product thinking
# The assignment
You will receive a concept/brief and need to turn it into a working prototype.
The prototype should include:
- A professionally designed landing page
- Desktop + mobile responsive layouts
- Strong typography, spacing and visual hierarchy
- Interactive UI elements
- Smooth but subtle animations
- At least one functional flow, such as a signup/contact/waitlist form
- Backend/API for processing and storing submitted data
- Proper loading, success and error states
- Clean reusable components
You are free to suggest the stack you think is best.
For example:
Frontend: React / Next.js / Vue / Svelte / HTML / CSS / Tailwind Backend: Node.js / Next.js API / Supabase / PostgreSQL / another suitable stack
We're especially interested in people who can combine good engineering with strong UX/UI judgment and startup/product thinking.
# Selection process
First, we want to review your existing work.
Please do not build anything before we have reviewed your portfolio.
After reviewing the applications, we will select a small number of candidates based primarily on their portfolio, previous work and overall skill level.
Selected candidates may then receive a short, random paid trial assignment to complete.
The purpose of this assignment is to see how you approach a new problem without having prepared specifically for it beforehand.
We want to evaluate things like:
- UX/UI decision-making
- Visual design quality
- Frontend implementation
- Responsive behavior
- Code quality
- Attention to detail
- Product thinking
- How you interpret an unfamiliar brief
- How independently you can turn an idea into a polished product
The trial assignment is paid at the same $40/hour rate.
Strong performance can lead to the full prototype project and potentially more ongoing work with our startup afterward.
# When applying
Please send:
- Portfolio or previous projects
- GitHub if available
- Your strongest frontend project
- Your strongest backend/full-stack project
- Examples of UX/UI work
- Your preferred tech stack

Bonus points if you can explain why you made certain UX, design and technical decisions in previous projects instead of simply showing the final result.
