React/Next.js + Tailwind (Shadcn/UI) Developers Needed

About OpenTrain AI

OpenTrain AI is the hiring organization for this role. We help people start and grow careers in AI training and data labeling—work that directly shapes how modern AI behaves.

We recruit contributors for short-term and ongoing projects across the AI stack. This posting is for a contractor role building front-end code with a specified tech stack; OpenTrain will manage hiring and payment.

Why This Work Matters

AI systems are trained and evaluated using code, examples, and human-reviewed outputs. Even when the task is writing code or creating UIs, contributors are part of the broader AI training and product ecosystem.

This opportunity is remote, flexible, and suitable as part-time freelance work. Many contributors choose similar roles because they can work from anywhere and on schedules under 20 hours per week.

The Role

We are hiring React/Next.js developers with strong Tailwind CSS and Shadcn/UI experience to implement a range of web interfaces—single-page UIs, multi-component applications, and dashboard-style apps—following strict structure, accessibility, and visual guidelines.

This is a short-term, part-time contractor role (less than 20 hours/week). You must be able to start immediately and complete assigned tasks by Wednesday, March 26.

• Employment type: Contractor, Part-time
• Experience level: Entry level (projects must still demonstrate required stack experience)
• Timezone/country: Worldwide (remote)

What You'll Do

Implement UI components and pages using React, Next.js, Tailwind CSS, and Shadcn/UI according to detailed instructions. Work will emphasize responsiveness, accessibility, and consistent code structure.

Tasks may require using mock API data, integrating forms, charts, or other UI features, and ensuring each deliverable meets stated complexity and quality requirements.

• Build new pages, components, and layouts using the specified stack
• Follow precise code structure and styling/UX guidelines
• Ensure responsive design and accessibility best practices
• Integrate mock API data and basic interactive features where required

Pay, Task Approval, and Schedule

Pay type: hourly, USD $17 per hour. You will be paid only for tasks that OpenTrain approves. Approved tasks are compensated using fixed hours by difficulty.

All work must be completed by Wednesday, March 26. This is a deadline-driven engagement—please only apply if you can start immediately and commit to finishing tasks on time.

Requirements

You must have demonstrable, project-based experience using both Next.js and Shadcn/UI together. Candidates without real examples of using Next.js and Shadcn/UI in actual projects do not qualify for this role.

Other required skills: solid React knowledge and production experience with Tailwind CSS. Because the timeline is tight, you must be ready to start immediately and manage deadline-driven work effectively.

• Required: React, Next.js, Tailwind CSS, Shadcn/UI (project examples required)
