- Set up proper deployment pipelines
- Ensure security and scalability
What You'll Do
This is a trial project (10-20 hours) to assess fit for potential ongoing collaboration. You'll:
1. Review our existing V0.dev frontend code
2. Recommend and implement a backend solution (we're considering Lovable.ai, Firebase, Supabase, or similar BaaS options)
3. Connect frontend components to backend functionality
4. Set up authentication and basic database operations
5. Deploy a working prototype
6. Document the process and create reusable patterns
Requirements
Must Have:
- Experience with backend integration for modern React/Next.js applications
- Familiarity with AI-assisted development tools (V0.dev, GitHub Copilot, etc.)
- Knowledge of Backend-as-a-Service platforms (Firebase, Supabase, etc.)
- Strong API development skills
- Experience with authentication implementation
- Ability to document processes clearly
Nice to Have:
- Experience with Lovable.ai
- Knowledge of serverless architectures
- Experience with AI prompt engineering
- Background in rapid prototyping or MVP development
- Experience working with startups
Project Scope & Timeline
- Trial project: 10-20 hours
- Timeline: 1-2 weeks
- Budget: $500-1,000 for the trial (rate negotiable based on experience)
- Potential for ongoing work (10-20 hours/week) if trial is successful
How to Apply
Please include in your proposal:
1. Your experience with backend integration for modern web applications
2. Any experience with AI-assisted development tools
3. Your familiarity with BaaS platforms
4. A brief description of how you would approach connecting a V0.dev frontend to a functional backend
5. Your availability for a 1-2 week trial project
We're looking for someone who can start within the next 1-2 weeks. We value clear communication, problem-solving ability, and a collaborative approach.
