Full-Stack Devs for Education Discovery Platform
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.
Engagement Model
Hourly Budget: $4/hour
Long-term engagement
Phase-based development
Continuous work opportunity as platform expands
Suitable for developers comfortable with early-stage product building
Budget & Engagement Model
Hourly Rate: $4/hour
Long-term engagement
Development will be done phase by phase
Startup-stage project with continuous feature expansion
Core Platform Scope
Student Platform & User Experience
Advanced education discovery platform including search with auto-suggest, deep filtering, category and location-based discovery; detailed college profiles (courses, fees, admissions, cutoffs, placements, rankings, scholarships, facilities, faculty, galleries); course and exam directories with alerts and preparation content; multimedia integration (videos, podcasts, virtual tours); comparison tools and predictive tools; student reviews, discussion forums, user dashboards, bookmarks, personalized notifications; editorial content, news, admission alerts; scholarship search, loan information; counselling workflows, enquiry forms, application support, and external application links.
Admin Systems, Institution Panels & Technical Infrastructure
Full admin dashboard for managing colleges, courses, exams, users, reviews, leads, counselling workflows, media, newsletters, and analytics; institution dashboards for profile management and lead tracking; SEO-optimized scalable architecture with caching and performance optimization; mobile-responsive design; API-first backend for future mobile apps; role-based access systems, reporting dashboards, notification systems, media management, and future integrations such as payment gateways and automation tools.
Technical Expectations
Experience building large portals, directories, SaaS, or marketplaces
Strong backend architecture skills
Search implementation (Elasticsearch, Algolia, or similar)
Complex admin dashboards
REST or GraphQL APIs
Scalable database design
SEO-focused development
Performance optimization
Preferred (flexible):
React / Next.js / Vue
Node.js / Django / Laravel
PostgreSQL / MySQL / MongoDB
AWS / GCP / Azure
Deliverables
Scalable web platform
Admin & institution dashboards
API-ready backend for mobile apps
Documentation & deployment support
Performance & security implementation
Proposal Requirements (Important – Read Carefully)
To be considered, include:
Portfolio of large platforms or dashboards
Proposed tech stack & architecture approach
Phase-wise development strategy
Estimated timeline for Phase 1
Team size or developer experience level
Example of admin dashboard you’ve built
Proposals without relevant experience or detailed answers may not be reviewed.
Important Notes
This is a long-term evolving platform
We are not looking for quick template websites
Strong architecture is critical from the start
Future mobile apps will rely on backend structure built now.
