Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. The UniMind Project Inc. is a mission-driven organization focused on student wellness through social-emotional learning, mindfulness, and whole-child development. The Full-Stack Developer will rebuild and scale an existing K-8 SEL platform prototype across front-end and back-end, create intuitive and accessible experiences for students and educators, and implement persistent progress tracking, hosted audio, and editable content infrastructure.
Responsibilities
- You'll work across front-end and back-end to take a proven single-file HTML prototype and rebuild it in a proper framework — refactoring existing functionality, implementing new infrastructure, and setting it up to scale
- Day-to-day work includes translating product requirements into clean, maintainable code, designing intuitive interfaces for two distinct audiences (students and educators), and ensuring responsive, accessible experiences
- You'll collaborate directly with the founding team and document your work so future additions don't require you personally
- Rebuild the current prototype in a proper framework (React or similar — your call, justify it)
- Visual polish pass: professional and credible for administrators reviewing it, warm and kid-friendly on the student-facing side
- Replace browser text-to-speech with real hosted audio narration
- Basic backend so student/teacher progress persists across devices — not just localStorage in one browser
- A simple teacher/admin view: navigate by grade → week → day, see completion status
- An editable content structure so new weekly units can be added later without a developer
Skills
- Strong full-stack development skills, with experience building end-to-end web applications
- Solid front-end and CSS skills, with a demonstrated eye for layout, usability, and responsive design
- Robust back-end skills, including API design, basic data modeling, and integration with modern frameworks or services
- Experience with a modern JS framework (React, Vue, or similar) and a server-side stack (Node.js, Python, or comparable) is beneficial
- Able to work independently part-time, remote, and collaborate asynchronously
- Exposure to EdTech, SEL, or K-8 environments and a commitment to equity/inclusion in student wellness is a strong advantage
- Bachelor's in CS, Engineering, or related field, or equivalent practical experience
- FERPA/COPPA awareness is required — no unnecessary data collection, no third-party trackers, clear data handling
- Background designing user-centered interfaces, especially for children or educational products, and familiarity with accessibility basics, preferred
Benefits
- Part-time remote role
- A paid skill assessment — a small, real, scoped task from this actual project (not spec work, not a mockup for free)
