Backend developer
We are a company capturing and analyzing current and historic trends in the relations between movies and people using *drumroll*: the internets. Why, you wonder?
We want to predict future trends and relations between movies and people.
We have a big graph of movies, actors users and their relations accessible through an API. We want to make that data available to customers through a REST API.
We want you, because you…
- spent the last years writing or consuming RESTful APIs
- know your way around classic RDBMS like MySQL and Postgres
- didn’t miss buzzwords like CouchDB/AMQP/Redis/Cassandra
- have heard about caching strategies and varnish
- love movies
Your responsibilities creating the bridge between our core data store and the outside world:
- defining, shaping and documenting our public REST API
- implementing the layer between the public API and the core data store
- stress testing the API
- implementing caching strategies
