About Host Guest

Host Guest is a U.S.-based startup launched in 2024 and officially registered in Georgia in 2025. We’re building a safe, human-centered housing platform that connects students and cultural travelers with verified host families across the United States. Our focus is on affordability, trust, and belonging, especially for international and out-of-state students who often struggle to find secure, welcoming accommodations in new cities. Host Guest is not just a tech platform. It’s a mission-driven solution rooted in empathy, security, and real human connection.

We are currently preparing for our official launch in August 2025. The platform has already been developed using Laravel, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and MySQL. It is functional but requires focused front-end refinement to ensure clarity, responsiveness, and ease of use before launch.

 

The Role

We are hiring a Front-End Developer based in the U.S. to help us optimize and finalize the front-end experience of our web platform. This is a project-based role focused on layout fixes, design improvements, responsiveness, and speed.

You will collaborate with UX/UI interns, our Full-Stack Developer, and the product and operations lead. The right candidate should be confident working within an existing codebase and able to deliver strong results within a short and focused timeline.

 

Key Responsibilities

  • Refactor and organize front-end code using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
  • Fix spacing, responsiveness, and layout issues across browsers and screen sizes
  • Implement design updates based on Figma files and UX feedback
  • Optimize user interaction flow, visual hierarchy, and loading performance
  • Ensure front-end features work smoothly with backend logic and data
  • Integrate visual elements for ChatGPT assistant and facial recognition signup
  • Document key changes for technical handoff
     

Qualifications

  • Must be based in the United States
  • Minimum 3 years of experience in front-end development
  • Proficient in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
  • Experienced in working with existing codebases and making structured improvements
  • Comfortable collaborating with remote teams, including designers and developers
  • Strong attention to design details and user-centered layout
  • Bonus: familiarity with accessibility, mobile optimization, and third-party APIs
     

Tools Used at Host Guest

  • Frontend: HTML, CSS, JavaScript
  • Backend: Laravel (PHP)
  • Database: MySQL
  • Infrastructure: AWS
  • Project Management: Asana
  • Communication: Google Workspace and Slack
     

Compensation

This is a fixed project-based contract with an estimated timeline of May 16 to mid-July (or possibly end of June). The total compensation range is $1,500 to $3,000 based on speed, skill, and final scope.

If we are impressed by the quality of your work and collaboration, we may offer you a longer-term or full-time role after this initial project. Final terms will be discussed after an introductory scoping conversation.

 

Why Join Host Guest?

You will be joining a fast-moving team at a critical stage. Your work will directly improve the user experience for students, travelers, and host families across the U.S. This is your chance to contribute to a mission-driven platform, gain visibility for your work, and collaborate with a committed and growing team ahead of a national launch.
