We are building a monetized audio platform and need an experienced backend engineer who can take an existing React + TypeScript frontend (built in Lovable) and turn it into a fully functioning native mobile app using Capacitor (iOS + Android).

This is not a simple API project. The goal is a production-ready podcast app with:
• All standard podcast features (catalog upload, episode management, subscriptions/following, comments, notifications, search, playback history, background audio, etc.)
• Role-based system (listener, creator, advertiser, moderator, admin)
• Ad-supported playback (no unauthorized skipping)
• Server-verified ad completion
• Immutable financial ledger
• Stripe integration + webhook reconciliation
• Affiliate marketplace logic
• Direct host-read sponsorship workflow
• Fraud protection (idempotency, replay prevention, rate limiting)
• Secure wallet logic and revenue splits

You must be able to:
• Design the backend architecture
• Implement secure financial logic
• Handle ad verification properly
• Deploy to production
• Wrap the existing frontend using Capacitor and prepare iOS/Android builds
• Support background playback and proper mobile behavior

If you have read and understand the job and think you can do it bid $55 an put the phrase “send me the pdf” at the top/front of your proposal

This must be a real app app (App Store / Play Store ready), not just a web app.

Budget

Project budget: Under $2,000
Monthly maintenance: Under $350/month

DON’T waste your time trying to change my budget

This is Phase 1 of a long-term relationship. Future apps and extensions will be offered to the top performer first.

If you’ve built financial systems, ad-gated media platforms, or complex backend-driven mobile apps before, include brief examples in your proposal.
