We're a team of U.S. developers building custom web apps, mobile apps, VR apps and voice apps for clients, AIsoft (https://aisoft.dev/). We're looking to add a talented senior React developer to the team on a contract basis, who would be able to lead front-end development and manage one or two junior developers. We're looking for somebody who we could ideally have on the team for many years to come. During projects, we usually need 8-20 hours of availability in a given week.

A few things about our team: we're composed of ~8 remote developers who specialize in either front-end, back-end, mobile dev or VR. We have team members that handle Devops, product management and design, so you'd only be responsible for front-end: no back-end, deployment, design or product management stuff. Furthermore, while we're often able to find developers with the technical skill-set, we feel it's harder to find team members who are also super communicative and extremely thorough in reviewing/testing their work before delivering. These two things are really important to us.

If you’re interested, and think you might be a good fit, we’d love to hear from you. Please send a short description of your experience (can be in CV but doesn’t have to be) and links to Linkedin and/or a portfolio site, if you have them, to hiring@aisoft.dev. Include the phrase “AGUA” so we know you read this.
