We’re building Steam Analytics—a platform that collects and visualises data on Steam games. The system aggregates information from Steam and other public sources via APIs and web-scraping to show player activity, game performance over time, and comparative project analytics.

An MVP now runs on AWS with PostgreSQL, but we plan to simplify the infrastructure and migrate to Firebase for faster development and easier scaling.

Current tech stack:

Front-end: Next.js
Back-end: Nest.js
Database & MVP infrastructure: PostgreSQL + AWS
Planned infrastructure: Firebase (Firestore, Auth, Hosting)
Data processing: custom parsers, cron jobs

For which tasks (responsibilities)?

Optimise the back-end and data schema
Migrate the infrastructure to Firebase
Work with large, frequently updated data sets
- Example: continuously collect and store historical data for thousands of game titles at intervals from 15 minutes to 24 hours
Extend both front-end and back-end functionality
Prepare the platform for authentication and subscription-based monetisation
Ensure reliable production deployment (security, scalability, monitoring)
Future task: integrate social-media APIs (e.g. Reddit, X/Twitter) to broaden analytics
