Full-Stack Developer Needed for AI Feature - Python (FastAPI) + Laravel Integration

We're building a SaaS product and need a full-stack developer to add an AI-powered feature to the existing backend.

The platform runs on Laravel. The task is to build a Python service that calls an AI API, processes the response, and returns structured results to Laravel. This is one specific feature with clear boundaries.

What you'll build:

- A Python service using FastAPI

- Connection to an AI API (OpenAI, Claude, etc.)

- API communication between Laravel and the Python service

- Input validation and error handling

- Logging

Flow: Laravel sends data to Python - Python calls AI API - formats the output - returns results to Laravel.

What matters:

- Clean code, no over-engineering

- Clear separation between the two services

- Predictable error handling

- Working production code
