Yes, where it helps. Your Front-End Developer works in the AI tools you already use. They use AI for first drafts and routine work, check every output, and follow your AI policy. You can ask for no AI on any task.

An Intermediate Front-End Developer owns a feature end to end with light review: UI, API integration, state management. An Expert Front-End Developer owns outcomes across an area: front-end architecture, the design system. We usually recommend Intermediate.

It stays under your rules: your admin settings and AI policy apply. Our talent rules ban client data in personal or free AI accounts, and passwords, card numbers, health details and ID numbers never go into any AI tool.

It can, at most once a year. Your person's hourly rate may rise by up to 5% a year, from the first anniversary of the Seat's start, with 60 days' notice and the right to end the Seat before it applies.

Only when you and your person both agree to it in advance. Otherwise they work the hours you set, and you pay for the hours they log.

You aren't charged for hours your person doesn't work, apart from paid leave. After their third month, your person earns 8 hours of paid leave a month. Paid leave hours are charged at their usual rate.

Your person logs their hours each day in the Get Hands client app, where you can see them. Your next invoice is adjusted to those hours.
