Lead Python Full-Stack Developer - (Distributed SaaS for Food Industry (North County)

Compensation: $10,000
Project Type: Full-time / Contract (Short-Term)
Location: San Diego (Remote)

About the Project & Scope
We are launching a distributed SaaS platform tailored for the food business sector. This platform requires a modular architecture composed of several interconnected core applications. We need an elite, autonomous Python Full-Stack Developer to spearhead the rapid, end-to-end development of these modules from scratch.

This is a high-speed, short-term, full-time gig for a true builder who can design, code, and deploy a robust ecosystem independently.

What We Are Building (Modular Scope)
You will be responsible for taking the lead on the architectural design and rapid implementation of the following modular systems:

• Centralized User Authentication Engine: Secure, robust identity management across the platform.
• Vendor & Admin Analytical Dashboards: Dual-facing interfaces for business operations, data visualization, and reporting.
• URL Shortener & QR Code Generator Analytics Engine: A custom link-management utility tracking engagement metrics and generating dynamic QR codes.
• Social Media Content Aggregator & Visual Scheduler: A staging hub to curate, visually edit, and schedule marketing content for internal review and sign-off (Note: No live social media API integrations required; this is a workflow consolidation tool for manual posting. A glorified CMS for managing social media campaigns).
• Audio/Video/Image Management Repository: A reliable, scalable media asset management pipeline.
• Kanban Project Management App: An intuitive, interactive visual task management interface.
• Customer Support Ticket Management Hub: An end-to-end ticketing and issue resolution system.
• Templating & Email Delivery Engine: Dynamic transaction messaging and reliable communication dispatch.

This is not a role for junior developer or a pure maintenance engineer. We need a one-person powerhouse who can manage comprehensive, end-to-end application development at a rapid pace.

Key Qualifications

• Python Mastery & Async Systems: Deep expertise in modern Python web frameworks (e.g. FastAPI, Django, or Flask) and hands-on experience with asynchronous communication protocols (e.g. Celery, Redis, RabbitMQ) required for distributed applications.
• Cloud Infrastructure (AWS or GCP): Hands-on experience hosting and deploying applications in the cloud. You know how to leverage AWS or GCP for secure database hosting (Postgres), cloud object storage for media assets, and containerized deployments.
• Full-Scale Product Development: Proven track record of architecting, building, and launching full-stack SaaS applications solo or as the primary lead.
• Rapid Execution: Ability to work efficiently under tight timelines without sacrificing the reliability of the core APIs or system architecture.
