Freelance UI Dev (1 month contract)

Johannesburg, South AfricaFull-timePosted Oct 9, 2026

Job description

Freelance Developer Brief 1-Month Engagement Overview One-month engagement picking up an existing demo project ahead of a trade show. The freelancer will get up to speed via a handover from Billy and Jack, who remain the main points of contact throughout. The work centres on the front-end/UI for a demo unit running on dedicated hardware with a touchscreen, communicating with the backend via REST APIs.

What They Will Do

  • Get up to speed via handover from Billy and Jack
  • Build/refine the touchscreen UI for the demo unit (runs on the hardware itself, not a web or mobile app)
  • Integrate the front end with the backend over REST APIs
  • Work within the existing hardware setup, troubleshooting where UI meets hardware
  • Begin backend-adjacent work early using the physical unit's existing data logs, ahead of full handover if needed What We're Looking For
  • Practical, hands-on UI development skills
  • Comfort with rapid prototyping and iteration, rather than deep embedded C++ development
  • Micro-electronics or fixed-hardware experience preferred (some embedded systems exposure, or general comfort with software running on hardware)
  • Mid-level freelancer, flexible working hours
