Overview

• Implement a geolocation "Near Me" search to display relevant results (e.g., goods, services) near the user.
• The project focuses on real-time nearby result discovery and integrating map-based visualization with search and ranking.

Technical stack

• Frontend: React Native, Leaflet.js for map rendering and interaction.
• Backend & search: Python (FastAPI) for APIs and Elasticsearch for geo-search capabilities.
• Geolocation & maps: Google Maps API and OpenStreetMap for geocoding and map data.
• Database: PostGIS (PostgreSQL) to store spatial data and perform spatial queries.

Responsibilities / Tasks

• Design and implement performant geo-search queries (Elasticsearch + PostGIS) to return relevant nearby items.
• Integrate map UI (Leaflet.js) into the React Native app to display results, clustering, and routing.
• Implement reverse geocoding / place lookup using Google Maps API and/or OpenStreetMap where appropriate.
• Build FastAPI endpoints for search, filtering, and pagination; ensure consistent API contracts with the mobile app.

Deliverables & expected skills

• Deliver a working end-to-end prototype: mobile app with map-based "Near Me" search, backend APIs, and deployment-ready search indices.
• Expected skills: React Native, Leaflet.js, Python (FastAPI), Elasticsearch, PostGIS/PostgreSQL, familiarity with Google Maps API/OpenStreetMap.

How to apply

• To apply, send your CV and a short motivation email to issam@code-reason.com.
• Use the email subject: "Application - 1 Search \"Near Me\" PFE" and mention relevant experience with mobile maps, Elasticsearch and PostGIS.
