Hi Ed, Luca,
this is on-topic. I agree that the email could've mentioned Apache
CouchDB more explicitly. I had email exchange with Luca before, they
even use (or at least evaluate) GeoCouch.
Luca, can you perhaps explain a bit more what the job will look like in
regards to Apache CouchDB.
First of all, my apologies to Ed Young, since the posting should have made more
explicit the link with CouchDB. On the other hand, the position description
mentions CouchDB and document-oriented DBMSes in general.
Unfortunately, there is no couchdb-jobs list; morevoer, I had read some previous
job postings that had not been not censured, hence I thought job-related posts to
be legitimate.
Having said that, we are basing our persistence mechanism on CouchDB, since we
deal with rather heterogeneous data, like: 3D data, data about graphs (networks),
geo-spatial data, Census data, data uploaded from users and -most probably-
gep-spatial binary data.
The data engineer will be mainly in charge of ETL, especially when it comes to
geo-spatial data, but flexibility and initiative are much valued here.
The project will last until the beginnings of 2015 and the position is
full-time.
