# Senior Full-Stack Developer Required – AI Website Builder SaaS | Installation, Debugging & Long-Term Support

We are launching a new **AI-powered website building / vibe coding SaaS platform** and are looking for a **highly experienced senior full-stack developer** to take responsibility for the technical installation, configuration, testing, debugging and ongoing maintenance of the platform.

This is **not a short-term one-off job**.

We are specifically looking for someone who can become our **long-term technical developer**, remain available after launch, diagnose problems quickly and assist with future upgrades, integrations and repairs as the platform grows.

## The Project

We have purchased a complete AI-powered no-code website builder SaaS codebase.

The system includes:

* Laravel / PHP backend
* MySQL database
* JavaScript / React frontend
* Node.js-based website compilation/build environment
* Agentic AI website builder
* Multiple AI provider integrations
* User registration and account management
* Subscription plans and AI credit system
* Admin dashboard
* Website generation through natural-language prompts
* Live website preview
* Visual editing
* Code editing
* Custom domain publishing
* SSL
* File storage
* Database / Supabase functionality
* Revision history and backups
* Payment integrations
* Email notifications
* Templates and design systems
* Affiliate/referral functionality
* Multilingual functionality
* Additional plugins and integrations

The developer will receive the complete purchased package and installation documentation.

## Initial Responsibilities

The successful developer will be required to:

### 1. Install and Configure the Platform

Set up the complete application correctly on our server/VPS, including:

* Laravel
* PHP
* MySQL
* React / JavaScript components
* Node.js
* Agentic Builder service
* Required server dependencies
* Cron jobs / queues
* WebSockets
* SSL
* DNS/subdomain configuration
* Email configuration
* Storage configuration
* AI API connections

The system must be installed properly for a **production SaaS environment**, not simply made to work temporarily.

### 2. Fully Test the Platform

We want someone who will thoroughly test:

* Account registration
* Login
* AI website generation
* Prompt handling
* Editing
* Live preview
* Website compilation
* Publishing
* Custom domains
* Database features
* File uploads
* Revision history
* Subscription plans
* Credits
* Payments
* Emails
* Admin functionality
* Security
* Mobile responsiveness
* Performance

You should actively attempt to **find problems before our customers do**.

### 3. Diagnose and Fix Bugs

There may be bugs, configuration issues or areas requiring modification.

We need a developer who is comfortable:

* Debugging unfamiliar code
* Reading an existing codebase
* Fixing Laravel/PHP issues
* Fixing React/JavaScript issues
* Diagnosing server errors
* Fixing Node.js/build problems
* Debugging API integrations
* Investigating AI generation failures
* Fixing database problems
* Identifying performance bottlenecks
* Reading logs and finding root causes

We are **not looking for someone who simply installs scripts**.

You must be an experienced developer capable of understanding and repairing the underlying system.

## 4. Security & Stability

Because users will generate websites and the platform will run AI-driven build processes, we want the developer to review:

* Server security
* File permissions
* Customer data isolation
* API key security
* Database security
* Authentication
* Generated code execution
* Resource limits
* Malware/exploit risks
* Backup procedures
* Recovery procedures

Please identify any security concerns before launch.

## 5. Customisation

After the core platform is stable, we will heavily customise the software for our own new brand.

This will include:

* New UI/UX
* New branding
* Homepage redesign
* Dashboard redesign
* User onboarding improvements
* AI builder experience changes
* Pricing changes
* New functionality
* API integrations
* Payment integrations
* Possible future mobile/app functionality

You should therefore be comfortable modifying an existing SaaS product rather than only maintaining the original code.

## LONG-TERM POSITION

This is extremely important.

We do **not** want someone who completes the installation and disappears.

We want a developer we can contact when:

* A customer reports a bug
* A server issue occurs
* An API stops working
* An update causes problems
* We need a new feature
* We need performance improvements
* The platform needs scaling
* We need new AI models integrated
* We add payment gateways
* We add plugins
* We need urgent technical support

There will therefore be **ongoing paid development work after the initial project**.

For the right developer, this could become a long-term relationship.

## Required Experience

You should have strong professional experience with:

* Laravel
* PHP 8+
* MySQL
* React
* JavaScript
* Node.js
* Linux servers
* VPS deployment
* Nginx / Apache
* REST APIs
* SaaS applications
* Payment systems
* AI APIs
* OpenAI / Anthropic or similar LLM integrations
* Git / GitHub
* DNS
* SSL
* Cron / queues
* WebSockets
* Server security
* Debugging production applications

Experience with **AI code generation, AI website builders, vibe coding platforms, code execution environments or agentic systems** is a major advantage.

## We Are NOT Looking For

Please do not apply if you:

* Only install WordPress themes
* Mainly use no-code tools
* Have limited Laravel experience
* Cannot debug existing code
* Depend entirely on ChatGPT to write code you do not understand
* Cannot work with Linux/VPS environments
* Are unavailable after completing a project
* Frequently disappear for days without responding
* Cannot communicate clearly in English

We need someone experienced enough to take ownership of technical problems and solve them.

## When Applying

Please answer the following questions:

1. How many years of professional Laravel/PHP experience do you have?

2. How many years of React/JavaScript experience do you have?

3. Have you previously deployed or maintained a commercial SaaS platform?

4. Have you worked with OpenAI, Anthropic, Claude, Gemini or other AI APIs?

5. Have you worked with applications that generate or compile code dynamically?

6. Are you experienced managing Linux VPS servers?

7. Can you provide examples of SaaS platforms you have personally developed or maintained?

8. Are you available for **long-term ongoing support** after the initial installation?

9. What timezone are you in and what hours are you normally available?

10. How quickly can you normally respond to an urgent production issue?

11. Are you personally carrying out the development, or are you an agency bidding on behalf of another developer?

12. Are you comfortable signing an NDA before receiving access to the full project?

### IMPORTANT

Please begin your proposal with the words:

**“AI BUILDER REVIEWED”**

This lets us know that you have actually read the project description.

Generic copy-and-paste proposals will be ignored.

## Commercial Structure

We would prefer:

**Phase 1:** Fixed-price installation, configuration, testing and bug fixing.

**Phase 2:** Paid ongoing development/support arrangement after launch.

We are prepared to pay appropriately for a genuinely experienced developer.

We are **not looking for the cheapest bidder**.

We are looking for someone reliable, technically excellent and capable of supporting a serious commercial SaaS platform over the long term.
