Project Overview:

We are seeking a student developer to work on a full-stack mobile application as part of the Riipen Level Up program. The app will provide a dashboard for tracking job applications. Our product focus is gender equality in the job search process. The student will gain hands-on experience in mobile app development, API integration, and backend services.

Project Objectives:

• Develop a functional mobile application with a user-friendly interface.
• Implement backend services for authentication, data storage, and API interactions.
• Ensure cross-platform compatibility (React Native preferred).
• Integrate database functionalities using Appwrite, MongoDB, or PostgreSQL.
• Test and debug the app to ensure stability and performance.

Key Responsibilities:

• Frontend development using React Native or Flutter.
• Backend development using Node.js and Express.
• Database setup and integration.
• User authentication (OAuth, JWT, or Firebase Authentication).
• Implementing key features such as real-time updates, push notifications, and CRUD operations.
• Collaborate on UI/UX improvements and performance optimization.

Technical Requirements:

• Proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript.
• Familiarity with React Native or Flutter for mobile development.
• Experience with backend technologies such as Node.js and Express.
• Knowledge of databases (MongoDB, Appwrite, or PostgreSQL).
• Understanding of RESTful APIs and authentication methods.
• Version control using Git and GitHub.

Expected Deliverables:

1. A functional mobile application with core features implemented.
2. A structured and documented codebase hosted on GitHub.
3. A short report summarizing development progress, challenges, and future recommendations.
4. A recorded demo of the app in action.

Student Benefits:

• Hands-on experience working on a real-world project.
• Mentorship and guidance throughout the project.
• Practical exposure to full-stack mobile app development.
• Portfolio enhancement with a completed project.

Evaluation Criteria:

• Completion of core features within the 60-hour timeframe.
• Code quality, documentation, and best practices.
• Functionality, performance, and UI/UX design.
• Ability to work independently and problem-solve.

Next Steps: Interested students should submit their application along with their resume, GitHub portfolio, and a brief statement on why they are interested in this project. Shortlisted candidates will be contacted for a brief discussion.

Working prototype of front-end and back-end.
