Grade D

Why this grade This listing scored 48/100, which is a D. It lost the most ground on pay transparency. See the breakdown

Freshness 15 / 15 How recently it was posted. Older postings are likelier to be filled or abandoned.
Description depth 14 / 20 How much the posting actually says about the work, measured in characters of real text.
Remote clarity 8 / 15 Whether "remote" means anywhere, or is quietly restricted to one country.
Role specificity 6 / 10 Whether the listing is tagged well enough to tell what the role actually is.
Corroboration 5 / 10 Whether more than one source carries this listing.
Pay transparency 0 / 25 A published salary range, worth more than any other single factor because it is what a candidate cannot find out without applying.

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 →

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
