- Budget: ₦250,000 (fixed for initial phase)
- Location: Remote
- Start Date: Immediate
- Timeline: 4–6 weeks for core implementation
Responsibilities
- Architect and implement a clean, scalable backend system
- Build and document APIs for core workflows (e.g. listings, pricing, scheduling)
- Implement vendor/user authentication (email, Google, etc.)
- Collaborate closely with product and frontend teams
- Ensure performance, security, and maintainability
Tech Requirements
- Proficient in Node.js, Django, or Laravel
