About
The platform already includes:
• User accounts
• Keyword-based alerts (saved searches)
• Item-specific "notify me" tracking
• Internal notifications
However, due to previous deployment changes, some regression bugs have reappeared and alert management UX is incomplete.
We are looking for a capable full stack developer to stabilise and cleanly implement the following within the existing codebase.
Scope of Work
1. Identify and confirm production source of truth
• Confirm repository, branch and deployed commit
• Ensure production matches intended version
2. Fix notification regression
• Fix unread notification counter bug
• Ensure notifications correctly update when marked as read
3. Restore Alerts Management UI
• Reintroduce "Saved Searches" management page
• Allow users to pause / delete alerts
• Separate system alerts from internal messages
4. Implement proper password reset flow
• Secure token-based reset
• Expiring reset links
• Basic error handling
5. Implement transactional email for alerts
• Integrate AWS SES (preferred) or equivalent
• Configure SPF / DKIM
• Implement token-based unsubscribe links (no login required)
• Ensure alerts can be disabled via email link
6. Add basic alert controls
• Frequency control (Instant or Daily)
• Internal match threshold control (admin level)
• Cap alert frequency per user
This is a focused stabilisation task.
We are not redesigning the platform or rebuilding infrastructure.
