Vibe Coder / AI-Assisted Backend Developer for Startup (Trial Project) - Contract to Hire

Job Description

The Challenge

We've successfully created impressive frontend interfaces using V0.dev, but we're struggling with backend integration. We need someone who understands how to:

• Connect V0.dev-generated frontends with functional backends

• Implement authentication, database, and API functionality

• 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.
