Description
We are looking for an experienced developer to upgrade our existing Python/FastAPI backend and implement a new subscription model in our React Native mobile application. Additionally, you will be responsible for setting up automated video rendering and social media posting workflows. Background: Our current backend API runs on a VPS (1 vCPU, 4GB RAM) and relies on heavy browser automation (Playwright) to scrape image data from search engines. This approach is slow, severely bottlenecks the CPU, and often returns limited results. We want to pivot from web scraping to a dedicated, premium JSON Search API to ensure our data retrieval is lightning-fast, scalable, and always online. Simultaneously, we are rebuilding our mobile app in React Native to gain complete freedom over the UI design and advanced ad monetization strategies. We need a developer who can handle the backend API optimizations, seamlessly integrate premium subscription features into this new React Native frontend, and set up a social media automation pipeline. Milestone 1: Backend Refactoring (Python/FastAPI) Completely remove the Playwright dependency to reduce RAM and CPU overhead. Integrate a premium JSON Search API (details provided upon hire) to fetch image data quickly. Ensure our custom extraction logic (OpenCV) and integration with our internal APIs remains intact and performs efficiently on the new data stream. New Feature: Implement functionality to extract data directly from specific "creator profiles"
