About the role

  • Senior Full-Stack Engineer on the Media Team responsible for media data ingestion, processing, and retrieval. Working extensively with AWS services to build intelligent security insights.

Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and operate backend services that handle media ingestion, processing, storage, and retrieval at scale.
  • Work extensively with core AWS services (SQS, S3, Lambda, and related managed services) to build event-driven pipelines.
  • Leverage AI tools effectively throughout the development lifecycle.
  • Design and evolve media platform APIs and contracts for multiple internal and external consumers.
  • Instrument services with meaningful observability: structured logging, metrics, and traces built on OpenTelemetry concepts.
  • Own the full deployment lifecycle for your services: staging and production environments, gradual roll-outs, canary releases.
  • Continuously monitor and tune and optimize cloud resource usage.

Requirements

  • Strong experience as a senior-level backend or backend-leaning full-stack engineer.
  • Hands-on cloud and AWS experience, with proficiency in core services such as SQS, EKS, Redis, and CloudFront.
  • Strong AI tool usage to increase quality and velocity.
  • Observability experience, not tied to any specific vendor, but a strong conceptual understanding of OpenTelemetry.
  • Practical experience with cloud deployment practices: managing staging and production environments.
  • A resource-aware, optimization-oriented mindset: comfortable fine-tuning cloud networking.
  • Strong distributed systems fundamentals: asynchronous processing, eventual consistency, idempotency, and failure handling.
  • Experience with modern backend development, including API design and production reliability practices.
  • Comfortable diagnosing complex, cross-service, and intermittent production issues independently and under pressure.

Benefits

  • Fully paid health & dental (no waiting period) + $500 health spending account.
  • Monthly reimbursement for fitness, wellness, or mental health programs.
  • Meaningful equity: Every full-time, permanent employee has a stake in our growth.
  • Advancement is based on contribution, initiative, and the ability to raise the bar - together.
  • Clear expectations, honest feedback, and no politics.
