We're looking for someone to help out a small resourceful team responsible for implementing a mobile billing and messaging platform, which allows end users to purchase apps and services on their mobile devices.

A draft of the specs, flows, and requirements is already completed. With your input, improvements can be made and plans can be finalized then turned into the end product.

* Queues with multiple consumers, correctly dealing with concurrency issues

* Service Oriented Architecture (SOA): several services are working together including user-facing web pages, administration backend, metrics tracking and reporting, and mobile messaging

* PostgreSQL: using optimal data types, hstore/arrays, indexes, views, complex queries, joins, and aggregation

General:
