Contract Roles · 1099 · Remote (US)

Senior work, real upside, real ownership.

MJH Consulting is a boutique product consulting firm. We bring in specialists bespoke to each client's challenge, and we are building the team of senior people who deliver that work. Six roles are open for applications now, on a 1099 contract model. We build the rest of the team as the practice grows, first as contract, converting to salaried roles once recurring revenue supports them.

How this works

MJH is an early-stage boutique firm. These are 1099 contract roles on our delivery team. We onboard you now; you work and get paid when engagements close. There is no salary and no retainer.

Compensation is tied to the engagements you deliver, with a bonus on any client you bring in yourself. Exact terms are in the subcontractor agreement and we walk through them on the first call.

If you need guaranteed monthly income today, this is not the right fit yet. If you are an independent who wants senior work with real upside in a growing practice, apply below.

You
  • Production LLM experience beyond notebooks, including RAG, tool use and MCP, evals, cost and latency tradeoffs
  • Comfortable explaining tradeoffs to executives

  • Fluent in SQL and Python
  • Stand up a measurement layer from a messy source
  • Explain what the data says to a non-technical sponsor

Software Designer, UX Research & Design
Contract · 1099 · Remote

  • Run discovery interviews and synthesize findings an executive will act on
  • Deliver polished, buildable interfaces
  • Comfortable partnering with engineers
Apply for this role
Delivery Lead / Solutions Architect
Contract · 1099 · Remote
You run engagement pods end to end so the practice can take on more work at once. Scoping, delivery quality, and the client relationship across a program. You own the shape of the solution and the health of the delivery.
You
  • 7+ years leading technical delivery or solutions architecture on client-facing programs
  • Scope an engagement, staff it, and stand in front of a client sponsor
  • Strong architecture judgment across product, AI, and data work
