Wanted: A Backend/Full-stack hacker to work on movie trailers
A cool 2 week gig for a Full-Stack. Immediate start, potentially leads to joining us full-time next year.

We are a venture backed, based on University Ave, Palo Alto. A flexible position with distributed/remote working over the Holidays.
Problem: The system we have now is slow with too many bottlenecks. You'll be walked through everything we are doing today and so will have a clear scope with defined goals. All of the current team are CS guys which helps us talk and work effectively together on this project.
Objectives:
- Take current backend, cms and bin it. Yeah!
- Rebuild on something more agile, cutting-edge and flexible (Rails/Angular or similar).
- Openly reason which architecture to go for on this project before building it.
- Data scraping: We are going to use a ton of data from across the internet and want somebody with experience and capability to hack out clever scripts to automate populating date.
- Hosting on AWS from Rackspace (crap, old, slow!).
Are you a good fit?
If you definitely want to build an awesome product for millions of users. You will be using cutting-edge stuff: Ruby, Python, Javascript, Rails, Angular and/or similar.Comfortable and experienced in web using HTML, CSS, SQL, HTTP, hosting, scripting..
We act fast:
Send in examples of your most recent project, demonstrating skills, experience we seek. We’ll review your GIT, LinkedIn, AngelList and meet you this week to start in a matter of days! We love self-taught people with the mentality to just get it built fast. Welcome all coders incl. Stanford students, CS/Eng. grads or any who have previous startup experience nice but not essential.
This is paid contract position. Becoming full-time comes with highly competitive compensation and stock options package.
