This role involves owning end-to-end feature development, maintenance, and operational excellence for a cloud-based streaming service. The engineer will work across various layers of the stack, collaborating with cross-functional teams to create exceptional customer experiences. The ideal candidate should thrive in a collaborative and fast-paced environment, demonstrating a strong ownership mindset.

  • 2+ years of non-internship design or architecture experience of new and existing systems
  • Bachelor's degree or foreign equivalent in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field
  • Experience in one or more relevant front-end frameworks such as React or Angular
  • Experience with service-oriented architecture and web services

Responsibilities

  • Design, implement, and operate features across the full stack, from web frontend to backend services and cloud infrastructure.
  • Own features end-to-end from design through deployment, moving quickly to get capabilities into customers' hands.
  • Participate in oncall rotations and drive operational improvements that increase reliability.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams including UX, product, security, and partner service teams.
  • Participate in technical design and code reviews, providing meaningful feedback to peers.
