Backend Developer Needed for Consumer Caregiver App We’re building a caregiver app that helps families keep track of a loved one’s care information, including diagnoses, medications, surgeries, notes, and tasks. This is a direct-to-consumer app, not a hospital or clinic product, so we need someone who can build a secure, privacy-first backend for sensitive health data. What you’ll build: - User authentication and account management. - Care recipient profiles. - Structured health records for diagnoses, medications, surgeries, allergies, appointments, notes, and care tasks. - Role-based sharing for multiple caregivers. - Secure file storage for documents or images. - Audit/activity logging. - Export and deletion features. - Admin tools for support and account recovery. What we need: We’re looking for a backend developer who can build a clean, secure, production-ready system with strong privacy controls. Required experience: - Strong backend development experience. - Experience with Postgres and secure API design. - Understanding of authentication, authorization, and role-based access control. - Experience with encryption, secure file storage, and logging. - Comfortable working with consumer health or sensitive data. - Ability to document architecture and hand off code cleanly. Nice to have: - Experience with healthcare, healthtech, or privacy-sensitive apps. - Experience with Supabase or AWS. - Familiarity with FTC health privacy expectations for consumer apps. - Experience designing systems that can scale into stricter compliance later. Preferred stack For this project, we’re leaning toward a cost-friendly, modern stack such as: - Front end: Lovable. - Backend: Supabase or a similar managed Postgres backend. - Auth: built-in auth with strong password/session handling. - Storage: private file storage. - Permissions: row-level security or equivalent. - Optional server logic: edge functions or a small Node service. If you think a different stack is better, explain why. Security and privacy expectations: This app will store sensitive family health information, so security matters a lot. We need the backend to include: - Encryption in transit and at rest. - Strong access controls. - Minimal data collection. - No unnecessary third-party tracking or ad-tech. - Audit logs for important actions. - Secure password handling. - Private storage and restricted file access. - Clear privacy-aware architecture. Important note: This is not a hospital backend. We do not need a complex enterprise healthcare platform on day one. We do need someone who understands how to build a secure consumer health app properly, with the option to evolve later if the product grows. Deliverables: 1. A short architecture proposal. 2. Recommended stack and rationale. 3. Basic database schema. 4. Security and permissions plan. 5. Estimated timeline and budget. 6. Build the MVP backend after approval. Please send: - A short intro. - Relevant backend projects. - Any healthcare, privacy, or sensitive-data experience. - Your preferred stack. - Your estimated cost and timeline. - One example of a backend system you’ve built that required careful permissions or security.
