Early-Stage Founder-Led Platform
Full-Stack Developer – MVP Build (On-Site, Contract)
Founding Full-Stack Developer (Contract-to-Hire)
📍 Austin, TX | On-Site Only | $10,000 Flat Contract | NDA Required
We're looking for a full-stack developer to bring a fully designed web platform to life. This is a flat-fee contract role ($10,000) with milestone-based payouts, building a clean MVP from completed Figma designs. The right candidate will have the opportunity to grow into a full-time technical lead or CTO role if there's a strong fit.
We’re looking for someone who sees this as more than just a one-off project — the ideal candidate is excited about the vision and open to continuing on after the MVP is built.
What You'll Build:
-
MVP using complete, responsive Figma designs (web-first)
-
User authentication for 4 distinct user types
-
Custom user dashboards and profile editing
-
Internal messaging system between users
-
Admin and moderation tools
-
Matching logic and backend structure (Firebase or similar)
Who You Are:
-
Based in or near Austin, TX — available to meet in person twice a week
-
Experienced with full-stack development, especially React + Firebase (or similar tools)
-
Comfortable working independently with a non-technical founder
-
Able to complete MVP in 4–6 weeks
-
Willing to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement before accessing designs or project details
-
Understands privacy-compliant development, secure data handling, and user permissions
-
Interested in continuing beyond the contract if it’s a strong match
Compensation:
-
$10,000 flat-rate contract, paid in milestones
-
No equity offered at this stage
-
Potential path to full-time or CTO role
Confidentiality & Ownership:
This is a stealth-stage project. All applicants must sign an NDA and agree to assign all intellectual property rights upon payment. Privacy, professionalism, and discretion are essential.
If you’re a builder who thrives in zero-to-one environments and wants to help shape something meaningful, let’s talk.
