Position Summary
We are seeking a mid-level Full Stack Engineer for a six-month independent contractor engagement to help build and evolve a Nuxt.js application, stand up a Strapi CMS, and integrate the two into a cohesive, production-ready system. This role will own day-to-day development across the stack, from front-end features to CMS configuration and API integration.

Success in this contract looks like proactively driving implementation decisions, shipping high-quality features with minimal oversight, and helping establish solid technical foundations during an early-phase project. This independent contractor opportunity is ideal for someone who is comfortable working independently, enjoys ambiguity, and takes pride in turning rough requirements into thoughtful, scalable solutions.
