Why this grade
This listing scored 70/100, which is a B. It lost the most ground on pay transparency.
- Description depth 20 / 20 How much the posting actually says about the work, measured in characters of real text.
- Freshness 15 / 15 How recently it was posted. Older postings are likelier to be filled or abandoned.
- Remote clarity 15 / 15 Whether "remote" means anywhere, or is quietly restricted to one country.
- Pay transparency 12 / 25 A published salary range, worth more than any other single factor because it is what a candidate cannot find out without applying.
- Corroboration 5 / 10 Whether more than one source carries this listing.
- Role specificity 3 / 10 Whether the listing is tagged well enough to tell what the role actually is.
Every figure above is arithmetic over the posting itself — its salary field, its text, its age, its tags and how many sources carry it. How the grades work →

HYBRID) 1099 CONTRACT
APPLY: https://vuetech.sh/careers
Ongoing contract across several B2B products on one design system. First pass is a fixed-price flows-and-kit package, then hourly as each product grows. Not a full-time seat.
Engagement: Ongoing 1099 contract. Milestone prices are set against a frozen spec. This is not a full-time seat.
First package: A fixed-price flows-and-kit package, about three weeks. After that, $50–75/hr as each product grows.
Location: SF Bay Area, hybrid, with in-person working sessions for kickoff and reviews.
Start: Immediately after selection.
Level: Mid-level welcome. You work directly with the founding CTO. Early sessions are for breaking the product down together. After that, scope is deliverable by deliverable.
ABOUT THE STUDIO:
We are a small Bay Area product studio. Several products, one stack, one visual language. You own the UX with us: who the user is, what they are trying to finish, what belongs on each screen, and what happens when it fails. Later products reuse the same tokens, components, and patterns so customers and our engineers are not learning a new UI every time.
The products are B2B web apps: dashboards, media and content libraries, status views, and auth and access-gate states. The first product in the queue is a digital signage CMS. Store owners upload content, build playlists, pair outdoor Android screens from a phone, and see what is playing. The app is a mobile-first PWA. The screen on the sidewalk has its own states: setup QR, downloading, no content, and error.
You take a real part in that breakdown. Bring a point of view on structure, priority, and what to cut. Sit with us and map the flows before the high-fidelity screens exist. When a familiar admin layout is the wrong job for the task, say so and show the alternative.
The screens still have to ship. We start from a Tailwind UI / shadcn component kit. Buttons, inputs, tables, cards, and dialogs stay that anatomy, restyled with our brand: color, type, radius, and density. Page structure, hierarchy, and flow are yours. Every screen is composed from those components, with tokens that map to our Tailwind theme, so the frontend team builds from the system.
