About the role

As a Frontend Engineer — Web Replication Preference Rater, you will evaluate the fidelity of web page replications by comparing a reference page and two candidate reproductions. This is a contract role with a compensation of $90/hour, fully remote.

Responsibilities

• Render a reference page and two candidate replications side by side at desktop width.
• Judge which replication is closer to the reference, assessing layout fidelity in detail, including box model, typography, color, image handling, and overflow.
• Inspect underlying markup with browser devtools to distinguish genuinely correct replications from those that merely look correct.
• Evaluate responsive behavior and semantic quality, ensuring proper use of flexbox and grid.
• Write structured rationales for every judgment, ranking defects by importance in precise language.
• Flag ties, ambiguous cases, and broken task items rather than forcing a preference.

Requirements

• 3+ years of professional web development experience, primarily in frontend or full-stack work.
• Fluency in hand-written HTML and CSS.
• Working command of browser devtools.
• Enough JavaScript to read scripts and understand DOM manipulation.
• Comfort in a terminal for local server setup.
• Strong written English and discipline to justify judgments.

Qualifications

• Prior RLHF, preference labeling, or model evaluation work.
• Code review or technical assessment background.
• Pixel-perfect design-to-code experience.
• Web accessibility expertise (WCAG, ARIA).
• Familiarity with LLMs' typical failures in codegen.
• Web scraping or DOM parsing experience.
