Python/Django Developer Needed for Inventory Management Web App

We are a small logistics company looking for an experienced Python/Django developer to build a custom inventory management web application. The frontend design is almost finalized; we need a developer to handle the backend and integrate it with the UI.

Current setup
• Front-end UI: designed and 90 % complete
• Database: production PostgreSQL instance already populated with live data

Core scope
• Map the existing PostgreSQL schema into Django models without disrupting current tables.
• Implement secure user authentication so staff log in with role-based access.
• Build inventory tracking endpoints that let us create, update, pick, pack, and reconcile stock in real time.
• Provide concise API documentation (Swagger/OpenAPI preferred) so our in-house devs can consume the routes easily.
• Wire everything to the dashboard HTML/CSS we provide, returning JSON for dynamic views.

Deliverables
1. Django project (Python 3.x, Django REST Framework) connected to our PostgreSQL database.
2. Auth module (token or session-based) with basic user management views.
3. Inventory endpoints covering CRUD and stock-movement logic.
4. Sample environment file plus README for local setup and deployment.
5. Postman (or similar) collection demonstrating each route.

Acceptance criteria
• All endpoints return correct status codes and follow REST conventions.
• Login required for every protected route; unauthorized access blocked.
• No breaking changes to existing tables or data.
• Code passes basic unit tests we will run before sign-off.

If you have previous Django REST work with PostgreSQL and can move fast, let’s get started—I’m ready to share schemas and the UI repo immediately.
