Senior Full-Stack Developer (Laravel/React) for Short-form Reels Editing SaaSUpwork · Remote (India)

I am the solo founder of Viralit.app, an AI-powered short-form video editor built on Laravel, React, and Remotion, heavily utilizing FFmpeg for video rendering. I am launching a massive Q4 campaign and expect a heavy influx of new users. I need a strong Full-Stack Developer in my team. Your role will be split into two core areas: Backend & DevOps: Managing Laravel queues, optimizing FFmpeg rendering pipelines on Hetzner server, and ensuring server stability during heavy traffic spikes. Frontend & Product: Using AI coding tools like Cursor to quickly build user-requested features in our React/Remotion frontend (e.g., new caption preset styles, thumbnail presets, and motion graphic templates etc). Requirements: - Expert in Laravel (Horizon/Redis queues) and React.js. - Solid understanding of FFmpeg and video rendering pipelines. - Comfortable using Cursor to accelerate frontend development. Answer these question in your cover letter to be considered: 1. 50 users click "Export Reel" at the exact same second. Walk me through exactly how you would structure the Laravel queues and Hetzner servers to prevent the database from crashing. 2. What is your experience using Cursor or similar AI tools to speed up frontend feature development?
