Senior Front-End Engineer

Summary

Join Kolab as a Senior Front-End Engineer (Part-Time Contract) and help bring our innovative digital facilitation platform to life. Kolab combines video, canvas, spatial audio, and collaboration templates into a unique experience, similar to Miro, Zoom, Butter, and Discord. As a key contributor, you will polish and extend our front-end feature set, improve UI flows, collaborate on product decisions, and translate creative facilitation ideas into intuitive UI components. This 3-6 month contract (with possible extension) involves 10-20 hours/week of remote work, with a pay rate of $65-$70/hour.

This is an opportunity to significantly impact a rapidly growing product.

Requirements

• You have strong experience in React and modern JS/TS workflows
• You feel comfortable working across a full stack JS environment with Postgres backing
• You have excellent design intuition—you can look at a feature and see what feels off
• You care about visual polish, UX detail, and user flow coherence
• You love building things that make people say "whoa, this is different"
• You’re comfortable working async with a lean team, jumping on occasional calls to align

Responsibilities

• Polish and extend our front-end feature set
• Improve and refactor existing UI flows (onboarding, templates, agenda builder)
• Collaborate on product decisions, not just execute tickets
• Bring strong design sensibilities to small details and larger flows
• Translate creative facilitation ideas into intuitive UI components
