• Build the Ventureship platform across front end and back end
• Use AI tools such as Claude code or Cursor etc to build quickly
• Build core platform features such as user sign-up, profiles, project listings, applications, matching, messaging, and dashboards
• Experience in deploying a prod ready project/work to Vercel, AWS, etc
• Bonus: Would be awesome if you knew or had experience in data privacy compliance
