We are seeking an experienced Project Summary

We are seeking an experienced React Frontend Developer (mid to senior level) for a short-term 1-month contract to build the front-end of a real-time chat application. You will develop a responsive, interactive chat interface using modern React practices (Hooks, functional components, Context API, etc.) and integrate WebSockets for live messaging updates. This role is frontend-only – you will focus on the client-side application (no backend or DevOps tasks) and ensure the codebase is clean, maintainable, and well-structured.

This is a remote freelance position open to candidates based in Ukraine. The project is billed hourly, with a competitive rate of $25–$35 USD per hour (commensurate with experience). If you are passionate about chat apps and have the right skills, we’d love to hear from you!

Responsibilities

• Develop the Chat UI: Build a sleek, user-friendly chat interface using React and Tailwind CSS to match our design specifications and ensure a responsive user experience across devices.
• Real-Time Functionality: Implement real-time messaging features using WebSockets (e.g. Socket.IO or native WebSocket APIs) so that messages and notifications update instantly for users.
• Clean & Maintainable Code: Write clean, well-structured, and well-documented code following best practices. Organize the codebase for readability and future maintainability, using modular components and clear naming conventions.
• Environment Separation: Ensure a clear separation between development, staging, and production environments. Configure and manage environment-specific settings (such as API endpoints or keys) so that the application can be easily tested and deployed in each stage without conflicts.
• Integration with Backend: Work closely with our backend team (or use provided APIs) to integrate the frontend application with server endpoints and WebSocket channels. While you won’t be writing backend code, you’ll ensure the data flows smoothly between the UI and server.
• Testing & Debugging: Test your components thoroughly in the browser, debug any frontend issues, and ensure compatibility across major browsers. Fix bugs promptly and ensure the chat app delivers a high-quality, glitch-free user experience.
• Collaboration: Communicate effectively with the project manager and any other team members. Provide progress updates, clarify requirements, and leverage modern React tools (Git for version control, code reviews, etc.) to collaborate in a remote environment.

Qualifications

• Experience: 3+ years of professional experience in front-end development with React.js. (Mid or Senior level candidates preferred – you should be comfortable architecting complex React applications.)
• Chat App Expertise: Proven experience building chat or real-time applications. You should be familiar with WebSocket technology and have implemented live data features (e.g. chat messaging, notifications, or similar real-time updates) in past projects.
• React Skills: Deep proficiency with React and modern React practices – including Hooks, functional components, and context/state management (Redux or Context API). You write component-based code and understand how to optimize React apps for performance.
• Tailwind CSS & Frontend Tech: Strong skills in HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript/TypeScript. Specific experience with Tailwind CSS is required for rapid UI development and consistent styling. Familiarity with responsive design and CSS best practices is a must.
• Code Quality: A track record of writing clean, maintainable code. You follow coding standards, use linters/formatters, and document your code when necessary. Experience with version control (Git) and collaborative workflows (pull requests, code reviews) in a team environment.
• Env. Configuration: Understanding of multi-environment setups and deployment pipelines. Experience configuring apps for different environments (development, staging, production) – for example, using environment variables or build scripts to toggle configs – is highly valued.
• Remote Work: Self-motivated and able to work independently in a remote setting. Excellent communication skills to coordinate with a distributed team. Must be located in Ukraine and able to work during normal business hours (your local time).
• Availability: Available to start immediately (or very soon) and dedicate sufficient time to complete the project within one month. You should be able to commit to this project’s timeline and meet deadlines for deliverables.

How to Apply

If you meet the above qualifications and are excited about building a real-time chat application, we’d love to hear from you! Please send us your resume (CV) along with:

• A brief cover letter or introduction highlighting your experience with React and any chat/messaging projects you’ve worked on.
• Links to your portfolio, GitHub repository, or examples of relevant work (especially projects involving chat features or WebSocket integrations) Developer (mid to senior level) for a short-term 1-month contract to build the front-end of a real-time chat application.
