TransportAPI | Ruby Backend Developer | REMOTE / ONSITE London or Sofia | Full-time or part-time | http://www.transportapi.com
TransportAPI is building an API for public transport timetables, live departures and routes along with performance indicators, fare data, widgets and dashboards. Current Enterprise customers include two of the top five transport operators in Britain (First Group and National Express) as well as Heathrow Airport.
We also run an open-access service funded by Future Cities Catapult, and a pay-per-hit platform with around 3,500 developers signed up including BT, Astra Zeneca, IKEA, Snowdrop, Transport Systems Catapult, Liveposter, Screenreach, ELGIN, Resonate, FWT, Trapeze, Grand Visual and the Universities of Warwick, Lancaster and South Wales.
We focus on Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL and Chef running on AWS, but we also use Go, Java, Objective C and Python when needed. We practice agile development but the gravitational force of our platform always pulls us back to pragmatics.
You will be part of the dev team developing core technology for transportapi.com, its API and related microservices. Specific responsibilities would include:
• Designing and developing new endpoints for the API
• Designing, implementing and using internal backend libraries
• Streamlining the import of static schedule data and live streaming data feeds
