# Full-Stack AI Engineer — Semantic Search + Next.js + Supabase (Long-Term, Contract-to-Hire) ## About We're building an AI-native platform that makes a large archive of recorded talks genuinely discoverable and useful: need-based semantic search over transcribed media, with a subscription product built around it. We have a clear product vision and architecture and are looking for a lead engineer to build the first version and grow with us long-term. Full product details are shared with shortlisted candidates under NDA — this post focuses on the engineering and the skills we need. ## The engineering challenge You'll build a two-part system that shares one database: 1. **A content pipeline (Python):** ingest recorded talks, transcribe them, chunk and enrich the transcripts with metadata using an LLM API, generate embeddings, and store everything in Postgres. 2. **A web app (Next.js):** fast, crawler-friendly, SEO-strong content pages with structured data; retrieval-based search that returns relevant source material with links/citations; user accounts; and Stripe-gated paid content. We care a lot about retrieval *quality* and clean, maintainable architecture — this is a real product, not a prototype. ## Required tech stack - **App:** Next.js (App Router), TypeScript, Vercel. Strong SSR/SSG, SEO, and JSON-LD structured-data experience. - **AI/backend:** Python; production RAG (embeddings, chunking, retrieval quality); LLM API integration. - **Data:** Postgres + **pgvector** (via Supabase); embeddings via a hosted model (Voyage/OpenAI). - **Auth & gating:** Supabase Auth with row-level security. - **Payments:** Stripe (subscriptions + one-time). ## Required skills - Shipped production Next.js (App Router) + TypeScript apps with strong SSR/SEO. - Built a real RAG / vector-search system in production — not a tutorial clone. - Comfortable in Python for data pipelines. - Postgres + pgvector and Supabase in production. - Stripe integration. - Plans before building; communicates clearly in writing. ## Nice to have - Audio/video transcription experience (Whisper / faster-whisper / Deepgram / AssemblyAI). - Agentic coding workflows (e.g., Claude Code). - Content-heavy SEO products or media libraries. ## Engagement - Hourly, contract-to-hire. ~20–40 hrs/week to start; long-term for the right person. - We start finalists on a **small paid test project** (a single self-contained slice of the pipeline) before the full engagement — that's how we evaluate fit. ## Confidentiality This is a proprietary product. Shortlisted candidates sign a mutual NDA before we share full scope and context. Please don't expect complete product details in the first exchange — strong technical applicants will have everything they need to be evaluated, and the rest follows the NDA. ## How to apply Applications that skip these are ignored: 1. **Start your proposal with the word `pgvector`** so we know you read this. 2. Link **two** projects: one live Next.js/SSR app, and one RAG/embeddings or LLM-integration project. Tell us what *you* personally built. 3. Answer briefly: *An offline embedding pipeline and a live search query must use the same embedding model — why does that matter, and how would you guarantee it?* 4. One line on your approach to chunking long-form audio/video transcripts for good retrieval.

We are building an early-stage real estate data platform that collects, cleans, enriches, and serves public-record and legal-notice data for real estate investors and professionals. This is not a greenfield build. We already have an existing backend repo with API routes, database models, migrations, scraping workers, tests, Docker configuration, and cloud deployment pieces. We need a strong backend engineer who can step into the existing system, understand what is working, identify what is risky, and help us get the backend stable enough for launch. The right person is practical, scrappy, and comfortable working in a startup environment where the goal is not perfection. The goal is to find the highest-leverage path to a reliable product. The platform involves: -Public-record and legal-notice data -Property data enrichment -API endpoints used by a frontend application -Data quality, reliability, and launch-readiness Current Backend Stack The backend is built primarily in Python and includes: -FastAPI -SQLAlchemy and Alembic -Postgres / Google Cloud SQL -MongoDB helper/caching layer -Scraping and ETL pipeline for public-record and legal-notice data -Playwright/Patchright-based scraping -reCAPTCHA-aware scraping workflows -LLM-based data extraction / AI-assisted parsing of unstructured notice data -Pydantic models -Google Cloud integrations: Cloud Run, Cloud Scheduler, Pub/Sub, Secret Manager, Cloud Storage, Artifact Registry -Docker -Pulumi infrastructure-as-code -GitHub Actions CI/CD -pytest, Ruff, uv You do not need to be world-class in every tool listed above, but you should be strong enough in Python backend systems, scraping/data pipelines, and cloud deployment to quickly understand the architecture and make sound technical decisions. What We Need Help With We need someone who can: -Review and understand the current backend architecture -Stabilize and improve the scraping / ETL pipeline for public-record and legal-notice data -Make sure public-record and legal-notice data is collected, parsed, stored, and served correctly -Improve backend APIs used by the frontend -Improve data quality checks for incomplete, missing, or inconsistent property records -Build and maintain property enrichment workflows using external data sources -Help design database models for richer property history and event tracking -Improve LLM-assisted parsing of unstructured legal notice data where appropriate -Debug deployment, CI/CD, Cloud Run, and infrastructure issues -Improve logging, error handling, monitoring, and observability -Strengthen test coverage where it matters -Help document the backend so future developers can contribute -Coordinate with our frontend developer to support product launch -Help prioritize backend work based on launch impact, data reliability, and technical risk Who This Is For You are likely a strong fit if you: -Like working inside existing codebases -Can diagnose messy systems without needing everything rewritten -Think in practical tradeoffs, not just ideal architecture -Are comfortable with incomplete documentation -Have experience with scraping/ETL workflows and unstructured data extraction -Can explain technical risks clearly to a non-technical founder -Prefer shipping useful improvements over debating perfect abstractions -Are willing to own outcomes, not just complete assigned tickets Who This Is Not For This is probably not the right fit if you: -Only want clean, fully documented codebases -Prefer to rebuild from scratch by default -Need enterprise-level process before making progress -Are an agency sending rotating developers -Only want tightly defined tickets with no ambiguity -Are uncomfortable with scraping, data quality, or production debugging Hiring Process We want to keep the hiring process practical and focused on real work. 1. Initial Screening We will review your proposal, background, and screening question responses. 2. Real-World Technical Scenario Strong candidates may be asked to respond to a specific backend issue from our current roadmap. We are looking for how you think, what tradeoffs you notice, and how clearly you communicate. 3. Paid Finalist Review A small number of finalists may be invited to complete a paid review of the existing backend codebase before any larger implementation work begins. Budget / Working Style We are an early-stage company and are looking for a practical, startup-minded developer. This is a paid contract role, but we are not looking for enterprise-agency rates. We value clear communication, efficient execution, and someone who can help us prioritize the highest-leverage backend work first. The first paid technical review may be structured as a fixed-price milestone. Continued implementation work may be hourly or milestone-based depending on fit. Long-Term Opportunity Our goal is to find someone who can become a long-term backend partner for the product, not just complete isolated tickets. For the right person, there may be an opportunity to grow into a technical lead / backend ownership role with additional upside tied to company performance. We are looking for someone who wants to help take a real product to market, but the initial engagement will be paid, scoped clearly, and focused on proving mutual fit.

AI Engineer (RAG & Agentic Workflows). *LLM RESPONSES AUTOMATICALLY AVOIDED* We have already launched a production generative AI product that utilizes a custom Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architecture.

Type: Hourly, ongoing (part-time to full-time, room to grow) Stack you'll work in: Notion, Slack, HubSpot, Google Workspace/Gmail, Claude + other LLM APIs, Zapier/Make/n8n About us We're a fast-moving sports and fan-engagement startup. We're small, we ship quickly, and we want AI woven into how the whole company operates, not as a side experiment, but as the default way we work. You'd be the person who makes that real. What you'll do Map our current workflows across sales, marketing, ops, and content, then find the highest-leverage places to automate. Build automations and agent workflows that connect our tools (Notion, Slack, HubSpot, Gmail/Google Workspace) using platforms like Zapier, Make, or n8n plus LLM APIs. Design and ship AI agents for real jobs: lead routing and CRM enrichment, content drafting, customer/fan response triage, internal knowledge search, reporting digests. Stand up the connective tissue (prompts, integrations, guardrails, and monitoring) so automations are reliable, not brittle demos. Train and enable our team: build SOPs, run working sessions, and create lightweight docs so non-technical people actually adopt what you build. Help set our AI strategy and roadmap as we scale. You're a strong fit if you Have shipped real automations and AI agent workflows in production (not just prototypes). Are fluent with Zapier / Make / n8n and at least one major LLM API (Anthropic/Claude, OpenAI). Know your way around HubSpot, Notion, Slack, and Google Workspace integrations and APIs. Can write clean prompts and think in systems: edge cases, error handling, human-in-the-loop checkpoints. Can explain technical work to non-technical people and get them to adopt it. Communicate proactively and move fast without breaking trust on things that touch customers or revenue. Nice to have Experience taking a small company "AI-native" end to end. Background in sports and/or blockchain. Comfort with light scripting (Python/JS) when no-code hits its limits. How to apply In your proposal, please: Describe one AI agent or automation you built, the tools involved, and the measurable result. Tell us how you'd approach training a non-technical team to actually use what you build. This part matters as much as the build. Share your hourly rate and weekly availability. Proposals that skip these will be passed over. We're looking to start with a small paid task and grow the engagement from there.

I need a developer to build an AI visibility audit tool for destination marketing. The core logic is already defined and I have a full spec. I need someone who can build it clean and ship it. What the tool does: it queries ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity with a fixed set of real traveler questions, captures whether a destination shows up and where its competitors land, scores the result, and drafts a short report. Roughly 15+ questions, each run a few times per platform, with web search enabled. What I need built: The query engine across all three platforms, running on my own API keys Integration with my existing scorecard backend A gated flow: a personal emailed link that runs once per user, results delivered by email A saved-run database I can log into and review, so every run is stored from day one Built to be re-run on a schedule later (this becomes an ongoing monitoring product) Two non-negotiables: It runs entirely on my API accounts and keys. Billing and ownership sit with me. I own all code and IP outright. This is a defined, finish-and-ship project, not open-ended. I'll share the full spec with candidates who look like a fit. US-based candidates only. Skills LLM / OpenAI API, Gemini API, Perplexity API, API integration, Python (or your stack — tell me), backend development, database design, prompt engineering If interested, please respond with the following answers to be taken seriously: Describe a tool you've built that calls LLM APIs in production. What did it do and what was your specific role? How would you handle the fact that AI answers vary run to run? How do you make a score that holds up to scrutiny? What's your approach to keeping per-query API costs controlled at volume? Rough estimate on timeline and cost for a project scoped like this.
