Senior Software Engineer

We are looking for experienced developers who are passionate about creating innovative solutions and solving unique technical challenges. Our team is tackling complex business and scalability problems, and we need talented problem-solvers to join us.

The ideal candidate has extensive commercial experience and a strong track record of building secure, scalable, and maintainable systems.

Our tech stack includes web-facing services built with a popular Ruby-based framework, along with lower-level image and video processing pipelines using Python and Rust. Our products focus on deduplicating and gaining insights into media content such as video and audio.

We value pragmatism in choosing the best tools to solve problems, and we expect candidates to take a lead role in developing our core technology stacks, working across multiple languages and frameworks.

Our primary services involve real-time or near-real-time data streaming. Experience with video stream manipulation and asynchronous data streaming is highly desirable.

We also value side projects. If you have an open-source project you're working on, we encourage you to continue doing so as long as it doesn't compete with our products.

Key Skills & Experience:

We are looking for someone with the following:

• Proven experience designing, building, and maintaining both frontend and backend applications.
• Strong ability to structure codebases for maintainability and clarity, with an emphasis on best practices and conventions. Experience mentoring junior developers is a plus.
• Experience with web frameworks (e.g., Ruby on Rails, Django, or similar).
• A test-driven approach to developing large, complex applications.
• Experience in managing large systems, promoting observability, and driving scalability and operational excellence using practices like SRE.
• Ability to reason with and model business requirements, translating them into elegant, maintainable code. Experience in identifying and mitigating potential dependencies and issues.
• Solid understanding of computer science fundamentals (data structures and algorithms).

Additionally, experience in the following areas is highly desirable:

• Professional experience with web frameworks (e.g., Ruby on Rails).
• Professional experience with lower-level languages (e.g., C, C++, Rust).
• Experience with streaming data in real-time or near-real-time contexts, using tools like Kafka, RabbitMQ, or AWSKinesis.
• Familiarity with image and video manipulation tools like OpenCV, FFMPEG, or similar.
• Experience with cloud deployment strategies, including Kubernetes.
