ABOUT BRAINBUILD

Brainbuild is an automated nutrition scheduling system that optimizes the timing of meals, snacks, hydration, and sleep events based on a person's unique daily schedule and adapts intelligently to day-to-day changes.

Everyone deserves to live a healthy life. This still isn't possible today because we don't have access to the right guidance when we need it the most—before we make a health decision. In our world of increasingly ubiquitous technology, what's missing is a way for us to receive scientifically accurate and personalized suggestions to help us improve our health each day. We're building that technology at Brainbuild as the leading company in nutrition scheduling.

Remote / California, USA | Part-time / Retainer

I am looking for a front-end developer working consistent part-time hours or on retainer for some up and coming web application projects. The primary skill set includes HTML, JavaScript, CSS, React, with responsive and mobile-friendly web design. Full stack skills and/or React Native and mobile development skills would be helpful, but are not required. You should be able to operate without full designs, and indeed we would be looking to you for best practices in the design and layout of webpages.

The initial trial period would involve some small improvements to existing websites, and eventually ramping up to 5-10 hours per week and including some brand new applications. Our basic development process would involve you interacting with us on Slack and GitHub, completing tasks and communicating progress as you go. Feel free to maintain a flexible schedule with little-to-no overlap with our California timezone. We can also pay you in Bitcoin, if you'd prefer. :)
