Job Description

Note: This job is exclusively posted on HenryHire.com - please be wary of fraudulent postings on other sites.


We’re building a web-based simulation platform and are in search of a freelance front-end developer who can take ownership of the technical build, focusing on performance, clarity, and security. You’ll work closely with a data analyst and simulation designer to implement task-based modules that challenge users to clean data, write SQL queries, and interpret business metrics.


This is a lean stack project with no bloat. You’ll also help wire up auto-grading logic and interactive components like charts, tables, and draggable elements.


What You'll Do


  • Build lightweight, responsive simulations in JavaScript (framework optional).

  • Implement interactive UI components.

  • Power in-browser database interactions.

  • Connect to JSON-based services or APIs

  • Participate in weekly remote check-ins and give feedback across disciplines.


Ideal Candidate


  • 4+ years in front-end or full-stack development.

  • Strong skills in native JS, DOM manipulation, and browser APIs.

  • Experience with structured data, client-side security, and modular UIs.

  • Familiar with SQL, gamified UX, or data visualization libraries like Chart.js/D3.


Bonus points if you have a passion for teaching, bootcamps, or helping learners succeed. Ability to balance developer UX with beginner user clarity, and familiarity with AI APIs (OpenAI, Claude) is also a huge plus.
