Full-Stack Developer – UK EdTech Platform | Next.js/React | AI | Long-Term

Full-Stack Developer for UK EdTech Learning Platform I am looking for a full-stack developer to help build the next stage of Teachers That Tutor, an existing UK education business. We currently have an established website and a YouTube channel with 7,000+ subscribers, which will provide an existing audience for launching and testing the new platform. What I want to build I want to transform Teachers That Tutor into a modern, subscription-based educational web application for UK primary pupils and their parents. The initial MVP will focus mainly on Years 3–6, with particular emphasis on Year 6 SATs. The platform will have seven main areas: Dashboard – overview of a child's learning, activity and recommended next steps Learn – curriculum content organised by Year → Subject → Topic → Lesson Practice – teacher-written interactive questions with automatic marking and explanations Studio – searchable educational video library linked to curriculum topics Insights – progress tracking and parent-friendly learning analytics Ask TTT – AI-powered educational support and personalised practice Papers – SATs papers, mark schemes and other assessment resources Parents should be able to create an account, add child profiles and monitor their children's learning and progress. What I need from you I am looking for someone capable of helping develop the platform from MVP through to a functioning subscription product. Relevant experience would include: React / Next.js TypeScript / JavaScript Node.js or similar backend technology Database design User authentication API integration Stripe/subscription payments AI API integration Responsive web applications SaaS/dashboard development Secure handling of user data I am open to your recommendations regarding the exact technology stack. Content Management An important requirement is that I can manage the educational content myself. I need an admin/CMS area that eventually allows me to add and edit: Year groups and subjects Curriculum topics Lessons Questions and answers Teacher explanations Videos Practice sets SATs/resources I do not want routine educational content updates to require developer involvement. How I want to build it I do not want the entire platform built at once. My preference is to develop an MVP incrementally through clearly defined milestones. For example: Stage 1: User accounts, child profiles, curriculum structure and dashboard Stage 2: Learn and Studio Stage 3: Question database, Practice and automatic marking Stage 4: Progress tracking and Insights Stage 5: Ask TTT / AI integration Stage 6: Subscriptions and further development The exact order can be discussed with the successful developer. My initial development budget is approximately £1,000 per month, and I am looking for an ongoing relationship of 6+ months rather than a one-off website build. If the platform gains traction, I would expect development to continue and the scope/budget to grow accordingly. About me I will provide the educational and product expertise, including: UK primary curriculum knowledge Educational content Questions and answers Video content Product direction User testing Existing audience for beta testing and marketing I am therefore looking for someone who can bring the technical/product development expertise to complement this. Good communication is extremely important to me. I would like someone who is happy to discuss ideas, suggest better technical solutions where appropriate, explain technical decisions clearly and build the product collaboratively. When applying Please include: A brief introduction. Examples of SaaS/web applications you have personally built. Your experience with React/Next.js or similar technologies. Any experience with Stripe subscriptions. Any experience integrating AI/LLM APIs. Your recommended technology stack for this project. Your hourly rate and approximate availability each month. What you think should be included in the first MVP milestone. Any initial concerns or suggestions about the proposed platform. Please don't send a generic proposal. I am particularly interested in hearing how you would approach this specific product. Ownership The successful developer must be comfortable with the Teachers That Tutor business retaining ownership and administrative access to the source code/repository, hosting, database, domain, payment accounts and other core infrastructure. I am looking for the right developer to potentially work with Teachers That Tutor for the long term rather than simply someone to build a website and move on.
