Full-Stack Devs for Education Discovery Platform

Job ID: 40213362

Budget: $2 – $8 USD

Full-Stack Developers Needed – Large Education Discovery & Admission Platform (Long-Term Project)
Project Summary

We are building a large, data-driven education discovery and admission platform that helps students search colleges, courses, and entrance exams; compare institutions; access counselling; read reviews; and track admissions.

This is a long-term product, not a basic website.
Development will happen in structured phases with continuous feature expansion.

Mobile apps will be developed later, so backend architecture must be scalable and API-first.

We are looking for dedicated developers or a small team interested in growing with a startup-stage platform.
