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
