Python FastAPI + PostGIS Project - 6-7 weeks

We’d like to assess your practical skills in working with FastAPI, PostgreSQL + PostGIS, and geospatial data processing.

You will implement a small REST API using FastAPI and PostGIS to support geospatial operations.
The test includes 4 types of project tasks, each targeting different skills:

📦 Task Types

1. GeoJSON Input API
   Build an endpoint that receives polygons in GeoJSON format and stores them in the database.

2. Spatial Query with Bounding Box
   Implement an endpoint that returns all polygons intersecting a given bounding box.

3. Async Database Access
   Use async FastAPI with proper database drivers to fetch geospatial data.

4. Data Serialization
   Ensure that geospatial data is returned in proper GeoJSON format to the client.

📘 Instructions

You will need to:

• Use FastAPI as the web framework

• Use PostgreSQL + PostGIS as the database

• Include Docker configuration if possible

• Use async where applicable

• Follow REST best practices

We’re urgently looking for a Middle or Senior Python Backend Developer with solid experience in PostGIS and FastAPI to join our team on a high-priority GIS-focused project.

🔧 Project Overview

You’ll be working on a geospatial platform that handles large volumes of data, including polygon storage and spatial queries. The backend is built with FastAPI, and PostGIS is used extensively for spatial operations.

This is not a side project — we need someone fully dedicated and ready to dive in right away.

🛠️ Requirements

• 5+ years of experience with Python

• Strong knowledge of FastAPI

• Solid hands-on experience with PostgreSQL + PostGIS (geometry types, spatial indexing, performance)

• Ability to process and store large-scale geospatial data

• Confident working with optimized queries and performance tuning

• Familiarity with Docker, Git, async Python

NO AGENCIES PLEASE.

📍 Engagement Details

Start date: ASAP (ideally Monday)

Duration: 6–7 weeks (full-time mission)

Availability: You’re expected to be fully dedicated to this project during working hours (not part-time)
