Database: Supabase (PostgreSQL).

Payments: Stripe Connect (Multi-merchant payouts & splits).

Infrastructure: Docker (Node 20 Alpine), GHCR, and GitHub Actions CI/CD.

What You’ll Do:

Design and migrate Postgres schemas using Drizzle ORM to handle thousands of products and transactions.

Build the backend logic for Stripe Connect, ensuring sellers get paid accurately and on time.

Manage the Dockerized deployment flow to our VPS via GitHub Actions.

Optimize SQL queries to ensure the content feed stays lightning-fast even as the DB grows.

Requirements:

Solid understanding of PostgreSQL and Relational Database Design.

Experience with Node.js and TypeScript.

Curiosity about DevOps (Docker, SSH, CI/CD pipelines).

Bonus: You’ve integrated Stripe or another payment gateway in a personal project.
