Introduction\n\nWe are currently going through a very exciting evolution of our platform. We are moving from a traditional RoR architecture to a modern "single page application", exposing our application as a set of API's consumed by Ember to provide a rich interactive experience.\n\nTo date we have migrated our customer facing application to an Ember app, with great success. We are currently working on rebuilding the backend of our platform with the present focus been on our "Point of Sale".

This covers the CRM, reporting/analytics and configurations aspects of our backend.\n\nTo do this we are looking to hire new people to join our team. This person should be able to contribute across the entire development stack. However, we are looking for the new hire to have strong experience in building and rolling out SPAs. Ideally, with experience using Ember to do this.\n\nAbout Ticketsolve\n\nTicketsolve is a web based online and box-office ticketing platform.
