Client

Our client is a global music and entertainment conglomerate headquartered in the US, with offices in over 60 countries. The company is undergoing a large-scale digital transformation focused on modernizing its financial operations, consolidating data, and optimizing processes.

Project overview

The client’s IT department comprises several interconnected domains. Our team provides tools and products that enable high-availability, cross-domain search across the client’s platforms and services. As part of this work, we develop an eventually consistent aggregation layer across multiple microservices, which clients can access via REST APIs, a web UI, and file exports. We are looking for a self-motivated engineer to work directly on the APIs and implement a domain-specific authentication layer.
