  • AI Tool Proficiency: Regular, hands-on user of modern AI coding tools such as Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, or Cline.
  • Technical Environment: Highly comfortable navigating the terminal and using Git on a Mac or Linux operating system.
  • Preferred: Prior experience building agentic workflows or LLM-integrated software features is a strong plus.
  • Language: Fluent in written and spoken English.

Engagement Details & Compensation

  • Work Structure: 100% remote, independent contractor status. Highly flexible schedule.
  • Time Commitment: Approximately 10 hours per week (Immediate start).
  • Compensation: Highly competitive rate ranging from $100.00 to $250.00 per hour , depending on your technical experience and project complexity.
  • Payments: Processed securely and weekly via Stripe or Wise based on services rendered.
