About our client

INDY runs the business side of cinema—marketing, ticketing, concessions, show scheduling, accounting, and real-time BI—for theaters on six continents. Tens of millions of tickets flow through the platform every year, yet the company remains an ultra-lean team where every engineer ships features that immediately matter.

The Challenge

Studios expect impeccable, timely accounting: film bookings, nightly sales tallies, royalties, and payouts. Today that workflow is powered by a patchwork of spreadsheets and custom scripts. You will build the Studio Accounting Administration System—an internal suite that:

• Books each film, contract terms, and revenue splits
• Electronically reports gross sales to studios (EDI/API)
• Calculates royalties and initiates payouts with perfect audit trails
• Evolves into a broader back-office platform for finance & ops

You’ll own the full vertical slice: database schema → GraphQL API → beautiful Vue dashboards.

What You’ll Do

Day-to-Day Responsibilities:

• Design relational schemas and encode business rules in Rails services
• Build GraphQL resolvers and secure REST hooks for studio integrations
• Develop responsive Vue 3 UIs with component libraries & Tailwind
• Write Sidekiq workers to sync nightly sales and recalculate splits
• Add tests, metrics, and feature flags so we can ship fast with confidence
• Partner with finance + ops to turn ambiguous workflows into product specs

In Your First 6–12 Months

• Ship v1 of film-booking & sales-reporting modules

• Replace manual royalty calculations with an automated pipeline

• Decrease month-end close time by 50 % for our finance team

Must-Have Qualifications

• 4+ years full-stack experience shipping production features end-to-end
• Deep proficiency in Ruby on Rails & ActiveRecord plus modern JS (Vue, React, or similar)
• Hands-on GraphQL (schemas, resolvers, pagination, auth)
• Strong relational-DB chops—schema design, migrations, query tuning
• Proven record building internal or admin tooling where correctness and auditability matter
• Comfortable owning delivery—from whiteboard to AWS deployment—in a tiny team

Nice-to-Haves

• Accounting, ERP, or royalty-reporting domain knowledge
• Experience with EDI / studio APIs, Stripe Connect, or payment rails
• Jest/Vitest, Storybook, or design-system work
• Terraform & CI/CD pipelines on AWS

Why You’ll Love INDY

• High ownership, zero bureaucracy – Shape a green-field system and watch it go live in weeks, not quarters.
• Visible impact – Your code determines how (and when) Hollywood gets paid.
• Varied problem space – Financial correctness + distributed systems + slick admin UIs.
• Founders in the codebase – Collaborate directly with decision-makers who can unblock you in minutes.
