Scope of Work

Primary Responsibilities

• Front-End Development:

  • Lead the modernization of the front-end experience using modern frameworks (React, Vue, or similar).

  • Implement responsive, accessible, and intuitive interfaces optimized for web and mobile browsers.

  • Translate new UI/UX designs into production-ready code with pixel-perfect precision.

• UI/UX Redesign:

  • Partner closely with stakeholders to reimagine the product’s visual identity and user experience.

  • Simplify current workflows and eliminate friction points based on existing usability feedback.

  • Bring a fresh, cohesive design language to the entire user experience.

• Backend Integration & Development:

  • Integrate with existing API endpoints; most are already built and stable.

  • Develop new backend functionality to support video uploads and related media workflows.

  • Collaborate with backend engineers to ensure efficient, secure data handling.

• Authentication Enhancements:

  • Modify existing authentication systems to support multi-platform login and flexible access control.

  • Maintain high standards for privacy and security throughout the user flow.

• Admin Platform (Switchboard) Updates:

  • Extend the Switchboard admin platform that powers the PWA to include new administrative workflows.

  • Improve backend tools for easier content management, tagging, and data visibility.

• Tagging Automation:

  • Enhance the existing tagging system to automatically classify or label audio and video files where technically possible.

Requirements

• Proven experience building responsive web apps with modern frameworks (React, Next.js, Vue, etc.)

• Strong understanding of design systems, accessibility, and mobile-first development.

• Experience with video/audio file handling, uploads, and streaming integrations.

• Familiarity with authentication frameworks (OAuth, Firebase Auth, etc.) and platform-level permissions.

• Experience integrating or extending admin dashboards or content management systems.

• Strong eye for design—comfortable collaborating with UX designers and translating designs into code.

• Experience with Node.js, TypeScript, or similar back-end languages is a plus.

Nice-to-Have

• Background in both design and development—comfortable working across the full product lifecycle.

• Experience with automated media tagging or machine learning-based metadata extraction.

• Previous experience modernizing legacy web apps into progressive web app (PWA) experiences.
