Role Overview

:


This isn't your typical backend engineer role. As our

Principal Engineer

, you'll own the backend of our Web SDK and have the freedom to take

bold, innovative leaps

. You won't be tied to managing anyone else -- this is all about

leading from the front

.


You'll have the space to think

creatively

, push the limits of what's possible, and tackle complex technical problems that keep us ahead of the curve. The backend is yours to shape, and we're counting on you to make things fast, scalable, and smooth.


The best part? You'll be at the forefront of testing and integrating cutting-edge technologies --

AI, automation, and whatever else

is on the horizon. If you're looking for a place to

constantly evolve

, where every decision you make will have a direct and massive impact, this is the place for you.

What You'll Do

:

Own the backend

: Build and evolve the backend of our Web SDK with absolute freedom to shape it how you see fit.

Innovate relentlessly

: We don't do "good enough" -- we want someone who's obsessed with staying ahead of the game. Experiment with the latest technologies, including

AI

, and constantly push our tech stack to new heights.

Tackle tough problems

: Solve complex, high-stakes problems that affect the heart of our product. You'll be the one to make the hard decisions and drive solutions -- all while taking full ownership.

Think like a business leader

: Be as invested in the

customer

as you are in the code. Understand pain points and build backend solutions that make a direct business impact.

Lead by action

: You won't be managing a team, but you'll lead through your expertise, energy, and vision. Challenge the status quo and inspire those around you with your passion and creativity.

Collaborate and execute

: Work with cross-functional teams to ensure the backend aligns perfectly with the product vision and customer needs. Your input will shape the entire product experience.

Who You Are

:

A

problem solver

who thrives in fast-paced, high-growth environments. A

visionary

who's not afraid to challenge the norms, try new things, and be at the bleeding edge of tech. You've been in the startup or high-growth tech world and you

know how to move fast

, iterate quickly, and get things done.

5+ years

working with

C# and .NET Core

-- you've got a deep understanding of backend systems and know how to make them scalable, efficient, and robust. You're a

SQL Server

and

Entity Framework Core

pro and can manage complex data operations effortlessly. You've built and scaled solutions with

Azure

and love the flexibility it provides. You

love AI

and new tools, and you're always ready to dive into the latest technologies. You don't just build code -- you build for the

customer

, always thinking of how to solve real-world problems. You have the

drive

to work autonomously, make big decisions, and make a significant impact without the need for micromanagement.

What We Offer

:

Autonomy to innovate

-- no bureaucracy holding you back. You'll own your work and make decisions that directly impact the company's success.

High-energy, fast-paced environment

where your voice will be heard and your impact will be massive.

shape the future of short form video

by crafting the backend that powers cutting-edge digital experiences. A culture of

freedom

big ideas

and

big action

.
