Job Posting: Full-Stack Developer (FastAPI & Next.js) with Docker

Location: Remote
Commitment: Full-Time (40 hours/week)
Compensation: Competitive

About This Opportunity

We are seeking an experienced and self-motivated Full-Stack Developer for a project-based contract lasting one month or more. We need a professional who is an expert with FastAPI for the backend and Next.js for the frontend. The ideal candidate is not just a coder but a builder who can take a concept from development to a live, deployed application.

This is a serious role for a developer who is ready to deliver high-quality work. We are not accepting applications from students for this position. We are open to collaborating with a backend/frontend duo if you can deliver a single, cohesive project.

How to Apply: The Take-Home Assessment

Your application for this role is the successful completion of the following project. There is no need to submit a resume upfront. We will evaluate candidates based solely on the quality, functionality, and implementation of their project submission.

We will begin reviewing submitted projects on Monday after lunch. Please submit your work as soon as it's completed.

Assessment Project: Waitlist & Admin Dashboard

Your task is to build and deploy a complete, full-stack waitlist application. Put your email or how to reach you on github repo or inside the website.

Project Goal

The application should have two main parts: a public-facing page for users to sign up, and a simple, password-protected admin dashboard to view the signups.

Core Features

• Waitlist Signup Page: A user should be able to visit the page, enter their email address, and submit it to join a waitlist. The interface should provide clear feedback for both successful submissions and errors (e.g., invalid email, duplicate entry).

• Email Confirmation: Upon a successful signup, the user must receive a "Welcome to the waitlist!" confirmation email.

• Admin Dashboard: Create a simple, password-protected page (a hardcoded password is fine for this test). After logging in, the admin should see a list of all the emails that have joined the waitlist, preferably with the date they signed up.

Technical & Deployment Requirements

• Backend: Must be built with FastAPI and SQLAlchemy.

• Frontend: Must be built with Next.js and styled with Tailwind CSS. Using a component library like shadcn/ui is encouraged but not required.

• Deployment: The final application must be deployed online and accessible via a single public URL secured with HTTPS. How you host it is up to you, but it must be live.

Database: You need a real database backing your application. You decide the table structure.

Recommendations (Use Free Tiers!)

We want to see your resourcefulness, not your budget. You are strongly encouraged to use the generous free tiers offered by modern cloud services to complete this project.

• For Deployment & Hosting: Render is an excellent choice for deploying both the FastAPI backend and Next.js frontend easily. Alternatively, use Vercel (for frontend) and a separate service for the backend, or a traditional VPS (DigitalOcean, Hetzner).

• For PostgreSQL Database: Neon, Supabase, or ElephantSQL all offer great free-tier PostgreSQL databases.

• For Sending Emails: Resend has a simple API and a free plan perfect for this task.

Submission

When you have completed the project, please submit the following:

• A link to your public Git repository (e.g., GitHub).

• The repository's README.md file must contain:

• The live URL of your deployed application.

• The password for the admin dashboard.

• Brief instructions on how to run the project locally.
