I’m getting ready to build the V1 of my product and I’m looking for a senior front-end developer to help bring it to life (remote is totally fine). Ideally someone with strong experience in building UIs from scratch for early-stage products / platforms, and comfortable working closely with a founder on rapid iterations.

Before diving into job boards, I’d love to ask:

- Where have you found great front-end developers (freelance or contract)?

- Any platforms you recommend (or to avoid)?

So far, I’m considering: Toptal, Upwork, Lemon.io

Also curious if anyone's had success finding devs via Twitter/LinkedIn outreach or design/dev communities like Indie Hackers, Frontend Mentor, or Dev.to.

Any tips, names, or intros would be hugely appreciated!

Thanks
