Project Overview
We’re looking for a seasoned full-stack developer (or small team) to build a minimum viable product that transforms raw RSS feeds/blog posts into concise, actionable insights using AI/ML. That ac

What You’ll Build
Modular Ingestion Pipeline
Connect to a configurable list of public or private feeds/APIs
Persist raw entries in a database
AI/ML Processing Layer
Integrate with a leading LLM or NLP service to produce short summaries
Automatically flag key artifacts in each entry
Design the system so the AI component can be swapped out in the future
Artifact Enrichment Interface
Call out to one or more external services for each artifact
Associate enrichment data with the AI summaries
Backend & API
RESTful endpoints to fetch the latest digests, artifacts, and enrichment details
Support filtering (date range, keyword, artifact type)
Simple user settings for selecting feeds and notification preferences
Frontend Dashboard
Clean, responsive UI (list view + detail view)
Filter controls to narrow down by tag, date, or severity
Basic user authentication and role support (admin vs. viewer)
Alerting & Delivery
Configurable email digests
Chat/webhook notifications (e.g. Slack, Teams)
Ability to mark items as “high priority”
Scheduling & Orchestration
Background scheduler for periodic ingestion and processing
Robust logging, error handling, and retry logic
Containerization & Deployment
Dockerize all components for easy deployment
Provide simple deployment scripts or IaC templates for any major cloud provider
Outline a CI/CD pipeline for automated builds and tests
Documentation & Testing
Clear README with setup and run instructions
API spec (e.g. OpenAPI/Swagger)
Unit tests for core modules and a basic end-to-end smoke test

What We’re Looking For
Backend expertise in Python, Node.js, or Go with REST API frameworks
Experience integrating with LLM/NLP services (any vendor)
Frontend skills in React, Vue, or similar modern frameworks
DevOps proficiency with Docker and setting up simple CI/CD
A security mindset—familiarity with threat intelligence concepts is a plus
Strong emphasis on clean, maintainable code and modular design

You Should Have
• Proven experience building and launching user platforms
• Ability to manage the project end-to-end
• Strong front-end UX eye
• Clear communicator with weekly check-ins

Week 1: Environment setup, ingestion prototype

Weeks 2-6:
AI/ML integration for summaries + tagging
Enrichment integration + data persistence
Dashboard UI (list + detail views)
Notification service (email & chat/webhooks)

Weeks 7-8
Containerization, deployment scripts, documentation, testing

Weeks 9-10
Launch and Support

We can kick off phase 2 if MVP is a success.

Proposal Guidelines
Please include in your bid:
Approach to designing a modular, secure MVP
Timeline confirmation or adjustments per milestone
Pricing
Relevant experience or portfolio links (showing similar projects)
Questions or suggestions to refine scope

Once the first phase is done, we can talk about the 2nd phase which will include membership, billing, accessibility, user access management, security, admin console and so on.

We’ll sign an NDA before sharing any sensitive details. Proposals will be reviewed on a rolling basis—feel free to ask clarifying questions. Looking forward to partnering on this!
