Structured Publishing
Opportunities enter the platform as consistent records rather than arbitrary posts.

Employment Platform
Job Opportunities For Everyone
One place to publish and browse structured job listings.
- Rodent role
- Product Design + Full-Stack Engineering
- Project type
- Public Platform
- Scope
- Job listing submission, publishing, and browsing.
The context
Why this system exists.
This public platform addresses a practical publishing problem: opportunities distributed through disconnected channels are difficult to browse consistently and difficult for publishers to maintain as structured information.
The problem
The operational or engineering gap.
Job opportunities shared across separate channels can be difficult for applicants to find and for publishers to keep organised.
Key requirements
What the system needed to make possible.
- ✓ Structured job records
- ✓ Consistent submission and publishing flow
- ✓ Individual opportunity pages
- ✓ Mobile-accessible browsing
- ✓ Persistent database storage
- ✓ A deployment suitable for public access
What Rodent built
A system, not a framework demonstration.
Rodent built a web platform where opportunities can be submitted as structured records and published as individual job pages.
Capabilities delivered
The working parts of the product.
Listing Browse
Visitors can review opportunities from one public catalogue.
Individual Pages
Each published opportunity has a dedicated page with its structured details.
Submission Workflow
Publisher input is validated before it reaches the data layer.
Responsive Interface
Core discovery paths are usable across mobile and desktop layouts.
Server Rendering
Public job pages are rendered through the application for accessible distribution.
System architecture
Responsibilities separated into understandable layers.
- 01Next.js App Router (SSR)
- 02Supabase Auth + PostgREST API
- 03PostgreSQL data layer
- 04Vercel deployment edge network
Data / process flow
How information moves through the system.
- 01Submission Form → Validation
- 02Validation → Supabase API
- 03Supabase API → PostgreSQL
- 04PostgreSQL → SSR Job Pages
Engineering decisions
Choices explained in operational terms.
Structured Listings
Opportunities are stored as records so they can be validated, displayed consistently and reused across the platform.
Mobile-First Browsing
The primary discovery path is designed for the smaller screens commonly used to open shared opportunity links.
Server-Rendered Pages
Public listing pages are delivered by the application rather than relying on a client-only interface.
Engineering challenges
Constraints addressed without inflated claims.
Consistent public information
A defined record shape keeps independently submitted opportunities readable and reusable.
Public and publishing paths
Browsing and submission are treated as different workflows with different controls.
Technology in context
Tools selected to support the system.
Technology supports the product’s interfaces, data and release path. It is part of the engineering explanation, not the outcome itself.
Outcome
A demonstrable result, without invented metrics.
The delivered platform gives job seekers one place to browse listings and gives publishers a consistent way to add them.
Established a centralized job platform with a scalable intake and publishing foundation.Related services
