Fullstack Developer - Real Estate Integration Tool

We’re looking for a skilled Fullstack Developer (Node.js or Laravel) to build a clean and reliable real estate integration tool.

This system will import property data (OpenImmo XML), optimize media, and expose everything through a lightweight API for WordPress and Webflow.

This is not a “large platform build.”

It’s a well-defined MVP that we will use repeatedly in client projects (real estate websites).

We value clean structure, stability, and straightforward communication.

Scope of Work (MVP)

  1. Backend / API (Node.js or Laravel)

• REST API exposing property data

• PostgreSQL database

• Basic authentication (API key)

• CRUD endpoints

• Error handling & logs

  1. OpenImmo XML Import

• Parse and map OpenImmo XML

• Field normalization

• Queue-based import (background job)

• Logging & validation

  1. Media Processing

• Convert images to WebP

• Resize images in multiple dimensions

• Upload to S3 / Spaces

• Return optimized URLs

  1. WordPress Integration (Plugin)

• Store API credentials

• Fetch property data from the API

• Output list + detail views

• Shortcodes or simple Gutenberg blocks

• Light cache layer

(Design/theming is not part of the plugin. We only need functional output; styling will be handled by us or in the theme.)

  1. Webflow CMS Sync

• Push properties into Webflow CMS

• Update existing items (delta sync)

• Image upload

• Error handling

  1. Basic Admin UI

• Small dashboard (React or Vue)

• Import logs

• API settings

• Basic status views

What We Do NOT Need in Phase 1

(This keeps the MVP fast and focused.)

• No advanced search

• No filters

• No maps

• No frontend design

• No complex dashboard

• No multi-tenant system

• No AI features

• No heavy WordPress theming

We only need a clean and reusable base system.

Ideal Developer

• Strong experience with Node.js (NestJS) or Laravel

• Solid API design

• XML parsing experience

• Comfortable with image optimization

• Experience with WordPress plugins

• Webflow API experience is a plus

• Clean communication and predictable delivery

• Able to work independently

Why This Project Is Attractive

• Clear, simple, and well-scoped MVP

• No unnecessary complexity

• Greenfield development (no legacy code)

• Flexible timeline (approx. 6–10 weeks)

• Potential long-term collaboration

• Used in real client projects (practical impact)
