Summary
🎯
About the Project
We're a performance marketing agency running paid campaigns for multiple clients across Meta and TikTok. We're building an internal SaaS platform — similar to PLAI — that automates the financial and reporting layer of our operations.
The platform needs to: pull live ad spend data from each Business Manager, calculate and charge clients automatically (ad spend + management fee), show clients a white-labeled dashboard of only their campaigns, process payments via GoHighLevel (GHL), and automatically pause campaigns when a payment fails.
We've already made significant progress using Claude Code and are looking for an experienced developer to own the architecture, extend the integrations, and ship a production-ready product.
⚙️
Core Features You'll Build
Ad Spend Billing Engine: Sync real-time spend from Meta Ads API & TikTok Ads API and generate invoices automatically based on actual spend.
Management Fee Module: Configure flat or percentage-based management fees per client; bundle or separate from ad spend invoices.
Client-Facing Reporting Dashboard: White-labeled portal showing each client only their own campaigns — impressions, clicks, spend, ROAS, conversions.
GoHighLevel Payment Integration: Trigger payment collection from client GHL accounts; handle recurring billing cycles.
Payment Failure Automation: When a GHL payment fails → automatically pause active Meta / TikTok campaigns via API; resume on successful retry.
Multi-Platform Campaign Manager: Unified view to pause, resume, and monitor campaigns across Meta and TikTok from a single interface.
Webhooks & Alerts: Real-time notifications for payment failures, spend thresholds, and campaign status changes.
Role-Based Access Control: Agency admin vs. read-only client roles with scoped data visibility.

Responsibilities
Own the end-to-end architecture of the platform — frontend, backend, database, and integrations.
Implement Meta Ads API and TikTok Ads API data sync (spend, campaigns, ad sets, insights).
Build the billing logic: invoice generation, payment triggering via GoHighLevel, retry handling.
Design and implement the campaign pause/resume automation triggered by payment events.
Develop the client-facing dashboard with scoped, read-only reporting per account.
Write clean, documented, testable code that the team can maintain and extend.
Collaborate directly with the agency founder — fast feedback loops, no bureaucracy.
Use Claude Code / AI tooling to accelerate development where appropriate.
✅
Requirements
3+ years of full-stack development experience (Node.js + React).
Proven experience integrating third-party APIs — especially ad platforms or payment gateways.
Experience building multi-tenant SaaS applications with role-based access.
Solid understanding of webhooks, event-driven architecture, and async background jobs.
Ability to work autonomously and make architectural decisions with minimal hand-holding.
Strong written English communication skills for async collaboration.
⭐
Nice to Have
Prior experience with Meta Marketing API or TikTok Ads API (huge plus).
Familiarity with GoHighLevel or white-label CRM platforms.
Experience with platforms similar to PLAI, Madgicx, or Revealbot.
Background in digital marketing or ad agencies — you'll understand the domain immediately.
Comfortable using Claude Code or Cursor for AI-assisted development workflows.
Experience building billing/invoicing systems with automated retry logic.
