Mid-Level Full Stack Developer

We are looking for a mid-level full-stack developer with experience in NestJS, PostgreSQL, and React.js to build a cloud-based print shop management system. The project is already planned out, and we need someone who can take the backend and admin dashboard from concept to a functional MVP.

If you have experience building business applications, handling API integrations, and working with scalable database architectures, this project is for you.

Optimize API performance using caching (Redis) and indexing in PostgreSQL.
Integrate third-party services (Google Maps API for business auto-fill, payment gateways).
Write unit tests to ensure stability and reliability.
2. Frontend Development (React.js + Next.js)
Develop a responsive admin dashboard using React.js (with Next.js for SSR).
Build a customer portal where users can request quotes, approve proofs, and pay invoices.
Integrate with the backend API using GraphQL or REST.
Create an intuitive UI/UX for order management and tracking.
Implement real-time updates (WebSockets or polling).
3. Database & Infrastructure (PostgreSQL, Redis, Hetzner)
Deploy PostgreSQL on Hetzner Cloud VPS (or managed service).
Design an efficient schema that supports inventory tracking, commissions, and order statuses.
Implement scheduled backups and redundancy strategies for data safety.

4. DevOps & Deployment (Docker, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions)
Containerize the application using Docker.
Deploy the backend and frontend to Hetzner Cloud.
Set up CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions.
Configure monitoring and logging tools (Prometheus, Grafana).
