Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a back-end developer to take over the responsibility of our API, and work with the community to improve it over time. Not only will this free me up to work on other things, it'll mean our API can be developed at a faster rate, and hopefully to a higher level of quality too.

Now that the groundwork for /v2/ has been prepared, this seems like the perfect time to bring someone on to take over the project.

This obviously requires someone who can be self-motivated and use their own initiative to manage a project themselves. I wanted to extend this opportunity to those within our API community first, to see if anyone here might be interested. While ideally this would be a full-time role which could potentially extend to other projects outside of the API eventually, a part-time role may also be acceptable as long as enough hours can be committed to make a meaningful difference.

Thanks.
