Given that our backend supports 2 types of user entities - professional and business, design and implement a system which will allow businesses to post jobs and professionals to search and apply for them.

Basic data structure might look like this:

Professional

• full_name
• email
• title
• daily_rate_range
• availability - 1-2 days/wk, 3-4 days/wk, full time or combination of them
• location - onsite / remote / mixed or combination of them

Business

• company_name
• website

Job

• title
• daily_rate_range
• availability - 1-2 days/wk, 3-4 days/wk, full time or combination of them
• location - onsite / remote / mixed or combination of them
• skills - list of skills

Please design a set of APIs which will allow for following

• List all entities listed on the website
• Allow professional to apply for any job
• Allow to list all applicants for any job
• Limit to 5 applications per job per day
• Search for jobs, professionals

Feel free to adjust data structure as you feel would be the best.

We use Django and Django Rest Framework, so please consider using these frameworks.

Preferred way of deliverable is a link to github repo with readme on how to run and use the app.

Go to http://0.0.0.0:8008/api/v1 in your browser to see Django RESTframework's browsable API root page:

Example endpoint:

Before you can see the above you first need to log in though; e.g. via using dummy populated user credentials.

• Install docker

Tested on docker version 25.0.4

1. Jump into the command line of your docker-based environment.

    sudo docker compose run web bash
   

   When running for the first time this might take a minute or two as it ...

   • downloads docker image
   • does docker related setup
   • installs python requirements

2. Do Django set up from within your docker environment.

    cd job_board   
    python manage.py migrate   
    python manage.py dummy_populate    
   

    sudo docker compose up

Now visit the api (example url) from a web client (e.g. browser):
