Junior to Mid-Level Full-Stack Developer Needed for AI-Enhanced Laundry Subscription Service MVP
Budget: $2 – $8 USD
Important: Begin your application with the phrase "spin cycle" to confirm you've read this entire job description.
## Our Focus: Efficient Development Using AI-Assisted Tools
We're seeking a junior to mid-level full-stack developer enthusiastic about using advanced AI tools to enhance the development process. We prioritize rapid prototyping and efficient coding using:
- **V0 by Vercel**: For swift UI prototyping and component creation
- **Cursor AI**: An enhanced version of VS Code with AI capabilities, improving coding efficiency for both frontend and backend tasks
Prior experience with these tools is beneficial but not required. We highly value a strong willingness to learn and adapt to new technologies. We're looking for developers who can approach problems creatively and embrace innovative AI tools that significantly reduce development time.
### Working with V0:
Our design team will initially provide frontend designs using V0. This allows you to familiarize yourself with the tool while contributing to the project. For example, we've created designs in 30 minutes with V0 that would typically take a full day using traditional methods. Your role will involve refining and optimizing these initial designs using your coding expertise.
### Utilizing Cursor AI:
We encourage the use of Cursor AI to streamline the development process. If you're familiar with VS Code, you'll find Cursor AI intuitive, as it's built on VS Code but with additional AI features to enhance productivity.
