Each niche also includes: - Step-by-Step video creation. - One-Click AI video generation. The selected engineer will complete these workflows, integrate them with the existing frontend, reuse shared backend services, and improve reliability. Technical Stack - Python and FastAPI - PostgreSQL, SQLAlchemy, and Alembic - Celery and Redis - FFmpeg and media processing - AWS S3 and CloudFront - External AI APIs Do not apply if your experience is limited to standard websites or CRUD APIs.
