Role Description As a Senior Full Stack Developer, you will be a core contributor to the platform that makes content at scale possible. You will architect, build and maintain systems that handle high volume video and content workflows for major media clients. - This is a senior individual contributor (IC) role. You will not be managing or delegating, you will be doing. Priority is execution. - In your first 30–60 days: - Work closely with the team to deeply understand our products, APIs, and infrastructure. - Get comfortable in the codebases by shipping bug fixes and small features. - Begin identifying areas of improvement in architecture, developer experience, or tooling. - Once you are fully ramped: - Architect new products and features with stability, flexibility and performance in mind. - Own large scale efforts from technical scoping through to production delivery. - Lead the development of new tools and production pipelines. - Maintain and evolve infrastructure proactively, not just reactively. - Ensure quality of all deliverables. Set the bar, then hold it. - Contribute ideas that improve how we build and what we build. This role is NOT right for you if: - Your best work is coordinating and delegating rather than writing code. - You prefer a structured corporate environment with established processes and a full team around you. - You expect someone else to resolve ambiguity before you can move. - You rely on AI to produce code you do not fully understand or cannot defend. This is a builder role. You will write code every single day. Qualifications - 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with meaningful back-end or full-stack ownership. - Strong, production-grade TypeScript (Node.js) — this is a core requirement, not a nice-to-have. - Solid Python skills, especially for data-heavy or ML-adjacent work. - Hands-on experience with Google Cloud Services (Firebase/Firestore, Cloud Functions, Cloud Run, Compute Engine). - Proven ability to own the full product lifecycle: architecture, build, delivery, maintenance. - Experience designing and scaling systems for high-volume, performance-sensitive workloads. - Comfort working in a Linux environment; Bash/shell scripting is a regular part of the job. Requirements - You thrive in ambiguity. You define requirements when they are unclear instead of waiting for them to be handed to you. - You are a self-directed executor. You pick up tasks, figure them out and ship without needing to be unblocked at every step. - You are comfortable using AI as a productivity multiplier while maintaining your own critical thinking. - You communicate clearly and proactively across any medium, async messages, docs, code reviews or live calls. - You are an advocate for documentation and organized codebases, but pragmatic about what actually gets read and used. - You are adaptable. Priorities shift in a startup, you shift with them without losing momentum. - You have genuine curiosity about the work: side projects, new tools, emerging patterns in your domain. Benefits - Fully remote. We are a distributed team and have been from the start. - High ownership, low bureaucracy. You will have real influence over how we build and what we build. - A small, senior team. No layers, your work ships directly to production and to clients. - Fast moving environment. We iterate quickly and expect the same from the people we hire. - We move quickly when we find someone great.
