Full Stack: React/Next.js Frontend Engineer Needed (Medusa/AWS/CI-CD)

ARK is looking for a detail-oriented React / Next.js front-end engineer to help us continue building ARK Marketplace — a faith driven marketplace where mission-aligned businesses can sell and connect.

_______________________

Our backend infrastructure is already running on AWS using Medusa with Mercur architecture, and several pages and components are already built. We’re looking for someone who can extend the existing front-end without disrupting the architecture or CI/CD pipeline.

_______________________

We'll need to have a quick online visual meeting to explain dev and answer any questions you might have for the right candidate.

_______________________

IMPORTANT

1. Total pay is $90 (plus $10 tip if finished by Monday at 1pm PST)
2. There are no milestones.
3. You're comfortable working with Christians.

_______________________

Because we are a bootstrapped startup, we value developers who are careful, thoughtful, and capable of working within an existing system rather than rebuilding everything from scratch.

Tech Stack

•⁠ ⁠React
•⁠ ⁠Next.js
•⁠ ⁠Medusa backend
•⁠ ⁠Mercur B2C architecture (Mercurjs[.]com)
•⁠ ⁠AWS-hosted infrastructure
•⁠ ⁠CI/CD pipeline
•⁠ ⁠Git-based workflow

_______________________

In regards to finishing up and launching ARK we still need a number of pages to be included with ARK's frontend.

Mercur Pages

- There will be NO editing/development on these pages.
- The pages simply need to have ARK's header and footer installed which is already developed.
- The color scheme has to be changed.

_______________________

Info Pages

We need to add some information pages:

- There will be NO editing/development on these pages just proper title/text formatting.
- ARK Verification™ Overview
- ARK Velocity Membership™ Overview
- ARK Blessed Friday™ Overview
- You would be paid an additional $5 to develop any other info pages that we might need.

_______________________

Homepage

The homepage needs edits which will include:

- Edit/add the three slider pics with appropriate links to site pages.
- Editing/Deleting the larger pics and simply and replacing with the horizontal rows already developed.
- Editing in the new design for the first two rows from our Adobe PSD files (you'll need to have an Adobe Photoshop subscription to open the files).

_______________________

All pages you've done must be connected to the endpoints and working correctly before payment is released.

_______________________

ALL work must be completed in the next 5 days (by this coming Monday at 1pm PST).
