Mission Overview We are seeking an API Developer for a consultancy mission at a client site, representing Keystone Solutions. The objective is to re-implement a subset of a third‑party API to ensure a smooth transition for current users. This role involves working on a straightforward API with two main functional parts: a metadata layer and a submission layer.

Key Responsibilities

Analyze the existing API and its documentation, and agree on the subset to cover.

Analyze the ODS database and map its metadata to what the existing API exposes, identifying any gaps.

Propose and implement a security approach (authentication, authorization, secure handling of submitted data), highlighting where it differs from the current API.

Implement the metadata endpoints on top of the ODS database.

Implement the submission endpoints, with validation of submitted data and meaningful error responses.

Hand over submitted data to the ODS loading code (or store it in the form that code expects).

Write automated tests and concise technical documentation.

Deploy and demonstrate the solution on Ubuntu Linux.

Report on limitations, open questions, and recommended next steps.
