Summary

Assistant Vibe Coder Needed — PHP/MySQL/JavaScript + Claude/Codex Experience I am looking for a technical assistant / “vibe coder” to help me build, refine, test, remediate, and harden software projects. I will usually create the first version of the product or application myself using Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or similar AI coding tools. Your job will be to pick up from there and help turn those early V1 builds into cleaner, more stable, production-ready products. This is not just a basic coding job. I need someone who understands how to work with AI-assisted development tools and can help improve, organize, test, debug, and harden projects after the first version has been created. Required skills: * Basic to intermediate PHP experience * Basic to intermediate MySQL experience * JavaScript experience * Experience using Claude, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or similar AI coding tools * Basic server knowledge, including files, permissions, databases, domains, hosting, error logs, and deployment basics * Ability to review existing code and understand what is happening * Ability to test features carefully and document issues * Ability to improve code structure, security, and reliability * Ability to follow instructions and work inside an existing project structure **What you will be doing:** * Reviewing V1 applications and identifying bugs, security issues, missing functionality, and weak areas * Testing features and documenting problems clearly * Fixing bugs and improving functionality * Cleaning up messy AI-generated code * Helping organize files, modules, routes, database tables, and logic * Improving security, validation, error handling, and logging * Helping prepare projects for production deployment * Working with PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, APIs, and server environments * Using Claude/Codex/Cursor effectively to speed up development while still manually verifying the work **Important:** I am not looking for someone who only blindly copies AI-generated code. I need someone who can use AI tools intelligently, review the output, test it, and improve it. The ideal person is detail-oriented, honest about what they do and do not know, and willing to learn. You do not have to be a senior full-stack developer, but you do need to understand enough about coding, servers, databases, and debugging to be useful. This could become long-term work if the first project goes well. When applying, please answer these questions: 1. What experience do you have with PHP, MySQL, and JavaScript? 2. Have you used Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or other AI coding tools? 3. Are you comfortable reviewing and fixing AI-generated code? 4. What server/hosting experience do you have? 5. Please describe one project where you helped debug, improve, or clean up an existing application. I am looking for someone practical, reliable, and detail-oriented who can help move projects from rough V1 builds toward real production products.
