Role Description

20four7VA is seeking offshore independent contractors to deliver remote services to clients worldwide, with a primary focus on developed markets such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia. The client is seeking a mid-level Front-End Developer Virtual Assistant with strong React experience to support the development of its proprietary permit automation platform. The developer will work on improving and expanding the front-end interface to support permit technicians, clients, and internal teams. The candidate will report directly to the lead developer.

Note: This is not a junior-friendly codebase. We are looking for a minimum mid-level candidate who is comfortable working within a large, existing production codebase from day one.

The objective of each engagement is to assist the client in improving business efficiency, enhancing service delivery, or supporting operational functions through high-quality, task-specific services rendered by a qualified contractor.

• Redux Toolkit (RTK): slices, async thunks, selectors, real-world state management
• Material UI v6: deep familiarity including theme customization, responsive design, and MUI X components
• React Router v6: complex route trees, guarded/protected routes, nested layouts
• Solid JavaScript (ES6+) knowledge: async/await, Promises, error handling (codebase is JS, not TypeScript)
• WebSocket experience: connection management, message dispatching, React integration
• Axios and REST API consumption
• Proficient with Git and version control: branching, PRs, merge conflict resolution
• Comfortable reading and working within a large existing codebase (not greenfield only)
• Strong communication and async remote collaboration skills

• Maintain and extend WebSocket-based real-time features
• Manage complex routing with React Router v6 (guarded routes, multi-role layouts)
• Platform Support & QA
• Conduct regression testing on new features before staging deployment
• Work closely with the lead developer to understand API contracts and backend responses
• Debug and resolve UI performance issues (memoization, render optimization)
• Maintain clean, well-documented, readable code
• Permit Forms & Product Work
• Build and maintain permit form templates within the platform (building permits, electrical permits, NOCs, legal descriptions, and other municipal/legal documents)
• Support the forms digitalization pipeline (AI-assisted PDF form processing)
• Provide recommendations for improving usability and workflow efficiency
• Technical Debt & Migrations (when feature work is quiet)
• Assist with incremental migration from JavaScript to TypeScript
