Job Description

Good Filling is looking for a contract engineer to help us bring our next generation of vending machines to life. Our mission is to make waste reduction accessible to all. In this contract, specifically, you'll help us achieve that goal by implementing the “front-end” design of a kiosk for our home-care vending machine. The kiosk itself is written in .NET Maui with a Blazor front-end. As such, the ideal candidate will have a strong background in front-end development. Our preference is for candidates with experience specific to .NET, especially .NET Blazor. At minimum, the candidate should have a strong working knowledge of fundamentals, such as HTML, CSS, and etc.

In this contract, you will be working closely with the engineering team to review technical requirements prior to implementing the design dictated by our wireframes. Our company is based out of Woburn, MA. Candidates local to the area are welcome to work from that location, but our engineering team is distributed throughout the eastern United States. This position can be performed 100% remotely.

The ideal candidate is someone who is excited about contributing to a growing start-up company, writes clean, maintainable code, and enjoys building usable human interfaces.

Essential Duties And Responsibilities

This contract is to implement the user-interface of a kiosk, which will allow Good Filling’s customers to review instructions, make product selections, purchase products, and other functionality specified in our wireframes. Although the kiosk has not yet been released to the public in any form, we have an existing “back-end” codebase written in .NET Maui. The front-end must be implemented on top of our .NET Maui application. We have selected .NET Maui with Blazor as our framework for this project. Preliminary front-end code exists but will likely need to be modified in part or entirety to implement our design.

What we will provide:

• Compensation paid bi-weekly(Please include your quote/estimated fee in your proposal)

• Design requirements in the form of Figma Wireframes

• Access to the Github repo for our existing Kiosk code

• Icons, images, animations, fonts, and other assets required to implement the user-interface

• Any back-end or database work required to implement your code.

• Technical requirements/guidelines

• Prompt answers to any questions that may arise during the contract

What you will provide:

• Examples of relevant, past work

• Clean, maintainable .NET Blazor code

• Status updates with a demonstration of current progress at least once weekly

• Flexibility to accommodate reasonable change requests made after status updates

• Signed NDA to protect our codebase

• Basic “smoke testing” before submitting code for review. (For example, please run your code to verify that it behaves as expected and doesn’t crash the application. We don’t expect you to write a full testing-suite).

• Access to all code (preferably through a Github pull request) upon completion of work

What is outside the scope of this contract:

• User-Interface Design: All design work will be completed by a third-party designer prior to the start of this contract

• “Back-End” software development. This includes:

◦ Database work

◦ Networking-related tasks

◦ Communication with hardware or other peripherals

◦ Development of data structures

◦ Development of classes pertaining to “business logic” (For example, if you need to display the amount of taxes a user owes, a method will be provided to you which calculates this information. You will not need to write any logic to perform this calculation yourself).

◦ Development of any software outside the .Net Maui kiosk application.

◦ Development of any other features which are not directly user-facing.

Features of the User-Interface

You will be building a user-interface that consists of five sections that are enumerated below:

1. Instructions: The first screen is a screensaver/instruction screen that displays an animation (provided by us) to instruct the user on the proper use of the application

2. Product Selection: The users are provided with a list of products currently available in our machine. Each product expands into a modal window that provides further detail.

3. Shopping Cart: A summary of currently-selected products. This mirrors the Product Selection component in design. It also instructs the user on ways to submit credit card payment.

4. Dispense Screen: This component allows the user to select a product to dispense from the vending machine. Progress and information on the cost of the product is displayed here.

5. Closing Screen: This screen provides information about cost savings, environmental impact, social media, feedback, and the option to start a new session
