Freelance Full-Stack Web App Developer

Mindrift is looking for skilled Full-Stack Web App Developers (JavaScript/TypeScript + Python or Node) to join the Tendem project (https://tendem. ai/) and build interactive browser-based applications within our hybrid AI + human environment. In this role, as an AI Pilot – that's how we refer to this position at Mindrift – you'll collaborate with Tendem Agents that handle repetitive tasks, while you provide full-stack engineering expertise, architectural judgment, and quality control to ensure web apps are functional, robust, and ready for real users. This part-time remote opportunity is ideal for professionals with hands-on experience in modern frontend frameworks, backend APIs, databases, and shipping interactive web products end-to-end.

What We Do

The Mindrift platform connects specialists with AI projects from major tech innovators. Our mission is to unlock the potential of Generative AI by tapping into real-world expertise from across the globe.

About the Role

This is a freelance role for a Tendem project. As a Full-Stack Web App Developer, you'll design, build, and refine browser-based applications with real logic, state, persistence, and user input — from habit trackers and budgeting tools to internal dashboards, mini-SaaS tools, and AI-powered apps. You may also work on standalone Python applications and data-processing scripts that sit alongside or behind these products.

Key Responsibilities

• Build interactive web applications with frontend (React, Next.js, Vue, or similar) and a backend API (Python/FastAPI/Flask or Node/Express).

• Design and implement data models, schemas, and persistence layers using SQL (PostgreSQL, SQLite) or NoSQL stores.

• Implement authentication, sessions, and basic role-based access where needed.

• Integrate third-party APIs and AI/LLM services (OpenAI, Anthropic, or similar) into product features.

• Handle state management, user input validation, error states, and loading states cleanly.

• Build standalone Python tools and scripts where required by the task (data processing, API clients, lightweight backend utilities).

• Evaluate AI-generated full-stack code and refactor it for correctness, security, performance, and maintainability.

• Write clear, testable code and debug end-to-end issues across frontend, backend, and database.

Requirements and benefits

• At least 3 years of relevant experience in full-stack web development or shipping interactive web applications (required)

• Bachelor's or Master's Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, or related technical fields is a plus

• Candidates should have a strong foundation in full-stack web development, modern frontend frameworks, backend architecture, and building interactive browser-based applications end-to-end. We are looking for specialists who can confidently work across frontend, backend, databases, and APIs, design robust application logic, and refine AI-assisted output into production-ready products. Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to independently architect and ship complete features are essential

• Strong command of JavaScript/TypeScript and at least one modern frontend framework (React, Next.js, Vue, Svelte, or similar)

• Solid backend experience in Python (FastAPI, Flask, Django) and/or Node.js (Express, NestJS)

• Hands-on experience with relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite) and basic schema design

• Experience implementing REST APIs, request validation, error handling, and authentication flows

• Familiarity with deployment platforms (Vercel, Netlify, Render, Fly.io, Railway, or similar)

• Experience integrating LLM APIs or other AI services into product features is a strong plus

• Comfortable with version control (Git) and basic testing practices

• Strong attention to detail and commitment to building working, robust products — not demos.

• Self-directed work ethic with the ability to architect, build, and ship features independently

• Portfolio of shipped web applications (required)

• English proficiency: Upper-intermediate (B2) or above (required)

Project time expectations

For this project, tasks are estimated to require around 10–20 hours per week during active phases, based on project requirements. This is an estimate, not a guaranteed workload, and applies only while the project is active.
