itsdheerendrakumar/jobPortalBackend ? reverse-engineered prompt

Build me the backend for a job portal app.

I want a clean API where people can sign up and log in, employers can post jobs, candidates can browse and save jobs, and applicants can apply to a job and track their application status. Please include the basics like user roles, authentication, and simple validation so the data stays clean. It should be easy to connect to a frontend later, and it would be great if the project includes a sample env file and sensible defaults for local development.

If you need to make a small assumption about the structure, keep it practical and common for a job portal. Also feel free to look up current docs online if you need to.
