3-4 month front-end job, beginning April 22, 2019 (remote work considered, Pittsburgh preferred)

Front-end developer with UX design experience sought to build a custom theme/user interface for a digital humanities project. The project requires an interface to display custom HTML5 elements with ReactJS.

The theme must be finished no later than 4 months after the contract begins. Development will require some discussions for iterative adjustments. We will require virtual or face-to-face meetings every two weeks with the team to provide feedback and testing of the stable interface; otherwise the schedule is flexible.

Required:
-Strong knowledge of HTML5 and CSS3
-Strong knowledge of responsive design.
-Experience with templating paradigms, React JSX is preferred.
-Experience with UX design.

Preferred:
- Experience working with XML-based projects.
