Community track · SaaS developers

A freelance SaaS developer community for builders who think in products

Building SaaS takes more than features. Auth, billing, tenancy, analytics and a hundred small details make a product feel finished, and most developers learn them alone, where nobody sees the result.

GenRise gives you a product to build on. You ship features on our own products and get product and code review. When a founder needs an MVP, the developers who already know these foundations are first in line.

Your craft

Skills we put in the spotlight

  • Next.js & React

Proof of work

Ways to show off

Pick one, ship it on a live product and get it reviewed. That's your first piece of proof.

  • Ship a feature on a live GenRise product, from idea to analytics
  • Add authentication, roles or team accounts
  • Wire up subscription billing in a test environment
  • Instrument a feature and report what users actually did
  • Write a product teardown: what you'd cut from an MVP and why

Paid client work

Where it leads

Once you've shown the skills, these are the client projects saas developers get brought onto.

  • MVPs for early-stage founders
  • Subscription and billing set-up
  • Rebuilds of fragile prototypes
  • Enterprise features such as SSO and audit logs
  • Performance work on slow products
