Job Description

Kolab Senior Front-End Engineer (Part-Time Contract)

We're looking for a senior front-end engineer and product thinker to help us bring Kolab ( to life. 

Kolab is a new kind of digital facilitation platform that combines video, canvas, spatial audio, and collaboration templates into a single experience. It's a bit like if Miro, Zoom, Butter, and Discord had a baby—but with a strong emphasis on human-centered design and cohort-based learning . Our product is heavily front-end, visual, and experiential. We're building for facilitators, not just meeting hosts.

Our small but experienced team has built a working v1. We've run real-world demos and pilots, and user feedback is extremely positive. We're now entering a 6-month sprint to sharpen onboarding, polish UI/UX, and convert interest into paying customers.

Role

We're seeking a contractor who can contribute 10–20 hours/week to help us:

  • Polish and extend our front-end feature set
  • Improve and refactor existing UI flows (onboarding, templates, agenda builder)
  • Collaborate on product decisions, not just execute tickets
  • Bring strong design sensibilities to small details and larger flows
  • Translate creative facilitation ideas into intuitive UI components

You'll be working closely with our founding team (CTO + CEO + occasional support engineers). Our stack is largely built in Node.js , React , and LiveKit (for video). Familiarity with spatial design, collaboration tools, or edtech is a plus, but not required.

About You

  • You have strong experience in React and modern JS/TS workflows
  • You feel comfortable working across a full stack JS environment with Postgres backing
  • You have excellent design intuition—you can look at a feature and see what feels off
  • You care about visual polish, UX detail, and user flow coherence
  • You love building things that make people say "whoa, this is different "
  • You're comfortable working async with a lean team, jumping on occasional calls to align

Logistics

  • Start: July 2025
  • Time: 10–20 hours/week
  • Pay: $65–$70/hour depending on experience
  • Duration: 3–6 months, with possibility of extension
  • Location: Remote, US timezone overlap preferred but not required

Why Now

We just completed a major round of user demos. We know what needs to improve. With a few months of polish, we believe Kolab can become a category-defining tool in the facilitation + learning space. If you want to help us get there, let's talk.
