I’m building an AI-driven platform and need someone who can jump straight into a Next.js codebase, wire it cleanly to PostgreSQL, and lock the whole stack down with solid security practices. The core of the job is to turn my rapid-fire AI ideas into reliable, production-ready features without sacrificing performance or safety. Here’s what the day-to-day will look like: • Extend and refine existing Next.js pages, API routes, and server components so they talk to PostgreSQL efficiently (indexes, views, stored procedures—whatever keeps queries fast). • Embed and orchestrate AI routines (think OpenAI, Hugging Face, or similar) so they deliver real-time value instead of just proof-of-concept results. • Harden everything: secure auth flows, sanitize user input, set sensible Content Security Policy headers, and lock down the database, server, and cloud environment. • Review my current approach, spot blind spots, and propose pragmatic fixes before they become production incidents. Deliverables I’ll review for sign-off: 1. Updated repo with clean, well-documented code that compiles and deploys without warnings. 2. Database schema migrations plus a short read-me explaining any performance tweaks. 3. Security checklist showing what you reinforced and how you tested it. 4. A short Loom or similar walkthrough demonstrating the new AI feature live. I move quickly and value straight talk. If you actually read this, open your bid with the word “NoBots” so I can separate humans from scripts.
