I need a web platform that blends a full-featured job board with a LinkedIn-style professional network while keeping user data exceptionally secure. Job seekers should be able to search, filter, and apply for roles, yet also build profiles, connect with peers, follow companies, and exchange messages—all behind strong authentication and encrypted data storage. The build has to feel modern and responsive on desktop and mobile. I’m open on the stack, but I do expect industry-standard security practices (HTTPS everywhere, hashed passwords, role-based access, and protection against common exploits). Admin tools for posting jobs, moderating profiles, and viewing analytics must be included. Because I’d like the first production-ready release in roughly four weeks, I’m looking for someone who already has comparable work under their belt. When you respond, point me to past projects that prove you can ship secure, user-centric platforms on this scale; a concise link or two is enough. Deliverables (at minimum) • Front-end UI/UX with responsive design • Back-end API, database schema, and admin panel • Secure user authentication and messaging • Deployment instructions and basic documentation I’ll be reviewing applications as they come in and aim to choose a freelancer quickly so we can kick off development right away. 1 Introduction The Secure Job Search and Professional Networking Platform is intended to provide end-to-end security for professional interactions, private messaging, resume sharing, and job application workflows. The goal is to build a robust system that ensures confidentiality, integrity, and availability of user data while integrating strong user validation mechanisms, OTP-based authentication, PKI-backed trust, and tamper-evident auditing. The platform supports user profiles, professional connections, company pages, job postings, applica- tion tracking, and recruiter–candidate communication. Security, privacy, and access control are first-class requirements throughout the system. 2 Requirements Below are the key functional and security requirements for the platform. A. User Profiles and Connections • Users can create and edit profiles, including name, headline, location, education, experience, skills, profile picture, and bio. • Field-level privacy controls: – Public – Connections-only – Private • Users can send, accept, and remove professional connection requests. • Users can view a limited connection graph restricted to their connections. • Profile viewer count and recent viewers list with opt-out privacy controls. B. Company Pages and Job Posting • Recruiters can create company pages with the company name, description, location, and website. • Companies can post job listings with title, description, required skills, location (remote/on-site), salary range (optional), and application deadline. • Company administrators can manage job listings, view applicants, and message candidates. C. Job Search and Application Tracking • Job search by keywords, company, location, skill tags, and filters (remote, internship, full-time). • Users can apply to jobs by submitting a resume and a short cover note. • Application status tracking: Applied, Reviewed, Interviewed, Rejected, Offer. • Recruiters can shortlist candidates, add notes, and update application status. D. Secure Resume Upload and Storage • Resume upload in PDF or DOCX format. • All resumes must be encrypted at rest. • Strict access control: only the owner, authorized recruiters, and admins may access resumes. • Uploaded resumes must be treated as sensitive assets. E. Secure Messaging • One-to-one and small group messaging (e.g., recruiter and candidate). • End-to-end encryption (E2EE) for private conversations. • The server must store only ciphertext for E2EE chats. • Optional server-side encrypted messaging for non-sensitive announcements. F. Authentication and Account Security • Secure user registration and login. • Email and mobile OTP verification. • OTP-based verification for high-risk actions. • Optional two-factor authentication (TOTP or simulated hardware token). G. Admin and Moderation • Admin dashboard to view and manage all users. • Admins can suspend or delete accounts violating platform policies. • Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): – Regular User – Recruiter / Company Admin – Platform Admin H. Security Mandates • Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) – All traffic must use HTTPS (TLS). – At least two functions must use PKI (e.g., message signing, resume integrity verification, company verification). • OTP with Virtual Keyboard – OTP entry via virtual keyboard for at least two high-risk actions (password reset, resume download, account deletion). • Secure Logging and Audit – Log all critical actions (authentication, job posting changes, application status updates, admin moderation). – Logs must be tamper-evident using hash chaining or a private blockchain. • Defenses Against Attacks – Protection against SQL injection, XSS, CSRF, session fixation, and session hijacking. Data Storage Compliance – Passwords must be hashed and salted (bcrypt or Argon2). – Plaintext passwords must never be stored. – Sensitive documents must be encrypted with strict access control. • Scalability and Simultaneous Access – The system must support multiple concurrent users without compromising security. 3 User Roles A. Regular Users (Job Seekers) • Sign up and log in using OTP verification. • Manage profiles and privacy settings. • Upload resumes and apply for jobs. • Track application status. • Send and receive encrypted messages. B. Recruiter / Company Admin • Create and manage company pages. • Post and manage job listings. • View applicants and update application status. • Message candidates securely. C. Platform Admin • View, suspend, or delete user accounts. • Moderate content and handle reports. • Access secure audit logs. 4 Programming Languages and Frameworks • Operating System: Ubuntu (provided VM) • Database: PostgreSQL (recommended) or MySQL / MongoDB with justification • Web Server: Nginx • Backend: Python (FastAPI/Django), Node.js (Express/Nest), or Java (Spring Boot) • Frontend: React, Vue, or server-rendered pages 5 Milestones and Timeline (January–April) February Milestone 1 [No Credit] (February 13) • Finalize technology stack. • Configure HTTPS with self-signed or CA-issued certificates. • Deploy a skeleton application on the VM. February Milestone 2 [2.5%] (February 27) • Secure user registration and login. • Email and mobile OTP verification. • User profile management. • Secure resume upload with encryption. • Basic admin dashboard. March Milestone [2.5%] (March 31) • Company pages and job postings. • Job search and application workflow. • Application status tracking. • Encrypted one-to-one and group messaging. • Initial admin logging. April Milestone (Final Evaluation) (April 30) • PKI integration for at least two security-critical functions. • OTP with virtual keyboard for high-risk actions. • Tamper-evident secure audit logs. • Demonstration of defenses against common web attacks. • Final system demo and documentation submission. 6 Bonus • Blockchain-based tamper-evident logging or integrity verification: +6% • Resume parsing and intelligent matching: +2%

Hello, This is a security-first, enterprise-grade platform, and that’s exactly the level we operate at AS Technolabs. Your combination of a job board + LinkedIn-style network with PKI, E2EE, encrypted storage, OTP flows, and tamper-evident logs requires serious architecture — not just web development. We can build this using React (frontend) + Node.js/NestJS or FastAPI backend + PostgreSQL, deployed behind Nginx with TLS. The system would follow a zero-trust security model with RBAC, field-level privacy, and strict API authorization. Security implementation includes: • bcrypt/Argon2 password hashing • Resume encryption at rest (AES-256) • E2EE messaging using public/private key exchange • PKI-backed features (message signing, resume integrity verification) • OTP verification + virtual keyboard for high-risk actions • Tamper-evident audit logs via hash chaining • Protection against XSS, CSRF, SQL injection, session hijacking Core features like profiles, connections, company pages, job workflows, recruiter tools, and admin moderation will run on a single secure API layer, ensuring scalability and data integrity. We have experience building secure multi-role platforms, encrypted document systems, and real-time communication apps. We can outline architecture and security flow clearly. Regards, AS Technolabs
