Job Summary:We are looking for a skilled Full Stack Developer to build and deploy a scalable web application that supports real-time updates. The application will feature a grid-based user interface for viewing and editing records, with changes propagated to other users in near real-time. The ideal candidate will have experience with Python FastAPI, PostgreSQL, and modern frontend frameworks like React.js or Vue.js. The contract will run for 3 months with the possibility of an indefinite extension.
Key Responsibilities:Design and develop a responsive, interactive web client using React.js or Vue.js, focused on a grid interface where users can view, edit, and submit records.Implement real-time updates using WebSockets or Server-Sent Events (SSE) to ensure changes are reflected across all permissioned users in near real-time.Develop and maintain a scalable backend using Python FastAPI, ensuring robust API endpoints for CRUD operations and efficient data processing.Set up and manage a PostgreSQL database, including schema design, query optimization, and data integrity. Implement database triggers or use change data capture tools to detect and propagate updates in real-time.Ensure security and authentication using industry best practices, such as JWT for user sessions and SSL/TLS for data encryption.Containerize the application using Docker for consistent development and deployment environments.Collaborate with cross-functional teams to gather requirements, design solutions, and ensure successful delivery of the project.Test and debug the application across different browsers and devices, ensuring high performance and a seamless user experience.Deploy and monitor the application on cloud platforms (e.g., DigitalOcean, AWS) or using serverless architectures as needed, ensuring scalability and uptime.Required Skills and Experience:Frontend Development: Proficiency in React.js or Vue.js, with experience building responsive, interactive UIs.Backend Development: Strong experience with Python and FastAPI for building scalable web APIs.Real-Time Communication: Experience implementing real-time data propagation using WebSockets or SSE.Database Management: Expertise in PostgreSQL, including schema design, performance tuning, and the use of triggers or change data capture (CDC) for real-time updates.API Design: Knowledge of RESTful API design and best practices, including error handling, authentication, and rate limiting.Version Control: Proficiency with Git and collaborative development workflows (e.g., GitHub, GitLab).Containerization: Experience with Docker for developing and deploying applications in containerized environments.Cloud Platforms: Familiarity with cloud platforms like AWS, DigitalOcean, or GCP for deployment, monitoring, and scaling applications.
