Frontend / UI Engineer

micro1 Inc.; United States; Remote; USD 110,000 - 138,000; Part time

Job summary

micro1 Inc. is seeking a frontend/UI engineer contractor who can turn visual material into rigorous coding tasks with objective success criteria and a reference implementation.

You will design multi-step tasks from screenshots, diagrams, and screen recordings, specify involved code and expected behavior, and review peer work for verifiability. Strong React/TypeScript and clear English are essential for remote, project-based engagement.

Qualifications

• Public GitHub profile with substantial, verifiable contributions.
• Strong frontend engineering: React, TypeScript, or similar, with experience shipping complex interfaces and interactions.

Responsibilities

• Design multi-step coding tasks grounded in visual material: screenshots, UI mockups, diagrams, or screen recordings of real workflows.
• Specify which code and artifacts the task involves, and what the expected behavior is.
• Define objective success criteria — how someone would verify the task was completed correctly, not just plausibly.
• Provide a working reference implementation.
• Review tasks built by other contributors for technical accuracy and verifiability.
• Flag tasks that turn out to be ambiguous or ungradable rather than submitting them.

Time per task: ~8 hours

Engagement: Project-based — paid per approved task

Location: Fully remote

You’ll need: A public GitHub profile with substantial, verifiable contributions

Your tasks: Turn screenshots, diagrams and videos into challenging coding tasks with objective success criteria

What you’ll do

1. Design multi-step coding tasks grounded in visual material: screenshots, UI mockups, diagrams, or screen recordings of real workflows.
2. Specify which code and artifacts the task involves, and what the expected behavior is.
3. Define objective success criteria — how someone would verify the task was completed correctly, not just plausibly.
4. Provide a working reference implementation.
5. Review tasks built by other contributors for technical accuracy and verifiability.
6. Flag tasks that turn out to be ambiguous or ungradable rather than submitting them.

What we’re looking for

1. A public GitHub profile with substantial, verifiable contributions — commits, merged PRs, or repositories you maintain. This is essential.
2. Strong frontend engineering: React, TypeScript, or similar, with experience shipping complex interfaces and interactions.
3. Able to read, modify, debug and validate real application code.
4. Experience with UI, graphics, SVG, or Canvas work is especially valuable.
5. Product or UI designers with hands-on frontend implementation and public code contributions are also a fit.
6. Strong written English, and the ability to explain expected behavior and reproducible verification steps.
7. Prior data labeling, AI evaluation, or rubric-based review experience is a plus, not a requirement.
