"We hope to hire two contractors" ... one front end and one back end, to develop "organization accounts". It seems like a goal for a very specific target audience - the corporate user (which may be many readers here on HN).
"Up to" is the keyword here. Max hourly rate comes out to be $175/Hour but since it is upto, I assume they could get someone who may want to settle for less.
