Senior Bubble.io Developer - Part-time - APAC/EMEA

About the Project

We have a partially built Compliance App in Bubble.io that requires a senior expert to audit, clean up, and bring to demo-ready standard. This is not a greenfield build — substantial work already exists and should be preserved where it is sound. The goal is a working, credible demo, not a full production release.

What This Role Is Not

This is not a job for someone who defaults to rebuilding everything. We are not looking for theory, discovery drift, or scope creep. We need a senior Bubble practitioner who can apply genuine judgment — keep what works, fix what is weak, and rebuild only where keeping it would be worse than replacing it.

What You'll Do

• Conduct a structured audit of the existing Bubble build and produce a clear assessment of every major component — what to keep, refactor, or rebuild, and why. Following the audit, execute the targeted cleanup and improvements to deliver a stable, fast, and visually credible demo build.
• Specific areas you will assess and act on include: overall page and app structure, SPA vs page-driven implementation, group hierarchy and editor readability, questionnaire flow, document handling flow, status logic, compliance review workflow, audit log workflow, lock/snapshot workflow, PDF generation approach, privacy rules and data access structure, child-type visibility logic, data model naming and consistency, versioning logic, and dashboard architecture.
• The intended architecture direction is a state-driven single-page experience — fixed shell, internal content swaps, no page-to-page navigation feel, no visible lag or layout shift.

Deliverables

By the end of the sprint:

• Build audit summary — concise assessment of what was kept, refactored, and rebuilt, and why
• Working demo build — all critical flows functioning and demo-ready
• Cleaned editor structure — clear naming, grouping, and maintainable layout throughout
• Short technical notes — remaining compromises, deferred items, and next phase recommendations

Required Skills

• Senior-level Bubble.io experience — you must be able to demonstrate past complex Bubble builds
• Deep understanding of Bubble best practices: state management, data modelling, privacy rules, workflow architecture
• Experience auditing and inheriting existing Bubble builds (not just building from scratch)
• Strong judgment on SPA-style implementation within Bubble's constraints
• Clear, concrete communication — reporting in specifics, not abstractions

Nice to Have

• Experience with compliance, legal, or regulated industry applications in Bubble
• Familiarity with PDF generation approaches within Bubble
• Experience preparing Bubble apps for investor or client demos

How You'll Work

Reporting should be concrete throughout — what was reviewed, what was changed, what was rebuilt, and why. No abstract updates.

What Success Looks Like

A Bubble build that is clearly better structured than the current one, with only weak or poorly implemented parts replaced, competent existing work retained, and a working demo the client can confidently show — built on best practices and sound logic.
