Job Brief Title: Full-Stack Developer(s) Needed for Audio Upload & Subscription Platform (Web + Mobile) Description: We’re developing a new digital platform that empowers creators (musicians, poets, comedians, speakers, content makers) to upload short audio tracks and share them with their fans. Each upload is automatically assigned a unique identifier that’s displayed under the content and linked to the creator’s profile. Fans can browse the catalogue, preview the content, and subscribe to support their favorite creators. The system will have two main user flows: 1. Creators – set up profiles, upload audio, and track analytics. 2. Fans – discover, preview, and subscribe to content. Think of it as a hybrid of an audio streaming site and a micro-subscription marketplace — optimized for short-form audio experiences. Core Features For Creators • User profile creation (username, bio, social links, profile image). • Upload audio (MP3, WAV) with metadata (title, genre, tags, artwork). • Automatic generation of a unique content code/identifier for each upload. • Dashboard with analytics: number of plays, subscriptions, followers, and earnings. • Payout system integration (local + global). For Fans • Browse catalogue by genre, tags, trending, newest. • Audio preview player (web + mobile responsive). • One-click subscription to a track (linked to identifier). • Ability to follow creators and receive notifications of new uploads. Admin / Platform • Admin dashboard: manage users, uploads, and subscriptions. • Content moderation & reporting tools. • Revenue management system (platform % vs. creator %). • API hooks for subscription and billing integrations. Tech Requirements • Backend: Node.js, Django, or Laravel. • Frontend: React or Vue.js (mobile-first design). • Database: PostgreSQL / MongoDB. • Streaming: HLS or similar protocol for smooth audio playback. • Hosting: AWS / DigitalOcean. • Subscription/payment: API integration with telcos and/or payment gateways (details provided post-hire). Nice-to-Haves • Social features (likes, comments, shares). • AI-powered recommendations (“you may also like…”). • Mobile app (iOS + Android) after web MVP. • Multi-language support. Deliverables • Web-based MVP (creator + fan flows). • Admin panel. • API documentation. • Deployment + scaling guide. • Post-launch support for bug fixes. Who We’re Looking For • Proven experience building audio streaming or media upload platforms. • Strong background in subscription/payment integrations. • Ability to advise on scaling, security, and future app development. To Apply: • Share examples of audio or media platforms you’ve built. • Outline your preferred tech stack and why. • Provide timeline & cost estimate.
