The UI Developer will enhance existing UI visuals, translating mockups into polished components using CSS and React, while collaborating with designers and engineers.
Location: Remote
Rate: $50-80 USD per hour
Sky Castle Studios LLC, creator of Hero Forge®, is looking for a UI developer for remote work. We need about 3-4 months of full time work.
This is a contractor position. As a contract hire, you’ll be working on a defined scope of work rather than in a long-term, full-time role. You’ll be expected to manage your own schedule, meet agreed deadlines, and communicate progress clearly. You’ll submit invoices for your work, and payment will be processed according to agreed terms. This position does not include employee benefits, and you’ll be responsible for your own taxes and equipment.
This role is primarily about refining and polishing existing UI: taking mockups, rough implementations, and real product constraints, and turning them into something cohesive, balanced, and beautiful. Occasionally, you’ll also create UI from scratch, but the core of the role is elevating what’s already there.
