Developer Needed to Turn an AI SaaS Concept Into an MVP (Vibe-Coded Prototype Already Exists)
Worldwide
Overview I am looking for an experienced full stack developer (or small product team) to help turn a video-coded software concept into a polished, working MVP. The product is called My Adam Preview. Website: https://myadampreview.com Concept overview: https://myadampreview.com/firstlook I am not a software founder or engineer. This is my first software product, so I am looking for someone who can act as both a technical builder and a trusted advisor throughout the process. The goal is not to build Version 10. The goal is to build a clean, reliable, thoughtfully scoped MVP that we can launch by late September. Current Status The product has already been video coded into a working concept that demonstrates the intended functionality and user experience. I now need someone who can: Review the existing prototype Determine the most practical technical architecture Recommend what should and should not be included in Version 1 Build a production-ready MVP as efficiently and cost effectively as possible What I'm Looking For Ideally you have experience building: SaaS products AI-powered applications B2B software Subscription platforms User authentication Stripe billing Dashboards Integrations with LLMs (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) Production-ready web applications Experience taking products from idea to launch is a significant advantage. Scope I'm looking for someone who can help with: Reviewing the existing concept Technical planning Product architecture Feature prioritization MVP scoping UX recommendations Front end development Back end development AI integrations Database design Authentication Subscription management Deployment QA Documentation Recommendations for future versions If you have product management experience, even better. What I Need From You Please explain how you would approach this project if you were the technical founder. Specifically tell me: What technology stack you would recommend and why What features belong in Version 1 What features should wait until Version 2 The biggest technical risks you see The fastest path to launching a reliable MVP How you would keep costs under control while maintaining quality Timeline My target is to launch by late September. Please let me know if you believe this timeline is realistic after reviewing the concept. Transparent Pricing Required Please provide transparent pricing in your proposal. Option A A fixed-price proposal for the complete MVP. Option B Your hourly rate together with: Estimated hours for discovery Estimated hours for design Estimated hours for development Estimated hours for testing Estimated hours for deployment Option C If you recommend milestone-based pricing, please break it down into logical phases. For example: Discovery & Technical Planning MVP Specification Development Sprint 1 Development Sprint 2 Testing & QA Launch Please explain exactly what is included in each milestone. Required Experience Please include examples of: SaaS products you've built AI products you've built MVPs you've launched Products currently in production Products with paying users, if applicable If possible, include links to live products. Proposal Questions Please begin your proposal with: BUILD SMART, NOT BIG Then answer the following: Tell me about the most similar SaaS or AI product you've built. If this were your company, how would you scope the MVP? What technology stack would you recommend and why? What would you intentionally leave out of Version 1? How would you keep development costs under control? What concerns or risks do you immediately see after reviewing the concept? How would you structure the project from discovery through launch? What realistic timeline would you propose? Please provide your pricing using one of the formats above. If we work well together, are you interested in continuing as our long-term technical partner? Ideal Outcome I'm looking for a long-term technical advisor rather than someone who simply writes code. I value thoughtful product decisions, honest communication, pragmatic recommendations, and clean execution over unnecessary complexity. If you're the kind of person who enjoys taking an early-stage idea, helping shape the product, and building an MVP that is stable, scalable, and ready for real users, I'd love to hear from you.
