We are seeking Frontend Engineer (HTML/CSS/JavaScript, jsPsych) – contracted Services

[gingjehli]

The Gearshift Fellowship Research Team is expanding its technical capacity and seeking a frontend engineer to support the further development of a research platform for adaptive intelligence, designed to advance the study and training of human adaptability and agency.
You’ll set up a clean GitHub organization/CI pipeline, refactor and further develop jsPsych and JavaScript code, and help build a modular plugin system. You’ll collaborate directly with the PI, Nadja Ging-Jehli (computational neuroscience & digital health), software engineers, data analysts, and human-computer interaction experts. This project builds on existing repository code and components developed in a collaborative academic setting. We value developers who are self-sufficient, mission-driven, and passionate about applying research to real-world digital mental-health innovation.

Work setup: Remote OK; time-zone overlap with CET/ET helpful.
Must-haves: Strong JavaScript/HTML/CSS, jsPsych, GitHub Actions, Experience with Google Firebase, and documentation skills.
Nice-to-have: TypeScript, Vite, data-privacy familiarity, or experience with scientific or digital-health applications. Experience working with HCI experts and academics is a plus.
Payment: Sub-contracted services organized in working packages (milestone-based). Each package is defined in advance with clear deliverables, timeline, and review milestones.
Start: As soon as possible (flexible).

To apply: Send a short note, your CV, and relevant links (e.g., jsPsych demo, GitHub profile) via e-mail to: [email protected]
