Senior Full-stack Engineer (React + Node.js)

Mission:
 

We’re reinventing how people watch series by creating a “Netflix meets TikTok” experience. Using AI, we transform existing shows into short, addictive, mobile-first micro-episodes that fit seamlessly into modern, fast-paced lives.

Think Netflix meets TikTok, with the brains of Spotify and the growth loops of mobile gaming. Our AI-driven platform delivers ultra-engaging, bite-sized episodes tailored to each user’s time, language, and taste.

We’re well-funded, hiring quietly, and moving fast. If you’re excited by entertainment, AI, and building what’s next, this is your chance to get in early.
 

About the Role

We’re looking for a highly motivated Senior Full-stack Engineer with strong skills in React (frontend) and Node.js (backend) to join our founding team.

This is a hands-on role with high autonomy, direct impact, and the opportunity to shape both our product and engineering culture from the ground up. You’ll own features end-to-end: designing, building, and shipping user-facing experiences and scalable APIs that serve millions of users globally.

What You’ll Do

• Collaborate with the founding crew to define and shape product direction.
• Build and maintain high-quality, performant React-based web and mobile-first UIs.
• Design and develop Node.js APIs and backend microservices.
• Integrate frontend with complex video and data pipelines.
• Ensure seamless delivery of 9:16 mobile-first video experiences.
• Drive features end-to-end: idea → design → development → testing → launch.
• Write clean, modular, testable, and maintainable code across the stack.
• Work closely with Product, Design, and AI engineers to push the boundaries of short-form storytelling.
• Take full ownership and make technical decisions that directly impact millions of users.

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of professional full-stack development experience.
• 3+ years of hands-on experience with React (Hooks, Context, state management, performance optimization).
• 3+ years building Node.js backend systems (Express, NestJS, or similar).
• Strong expertise in JavaScript (ES6+) and TypeScript.
• Experience designing and building APIs (REST and/or GraphQL).
• Solid database knowledge: relational (Postgres/MySQL) and NoSQL (MongoDB, DynamoDB).
• Hands-on experience deploying production apps in AWS / GCP / Azure.
• Familiarity with CI/CD, Docker, and scalable system design.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
• Proven track record in B2B/SMB web platform development.
• Startup mindset: independent, accountable, and team-oriented.
   

Nice-to-Haves

• Experience with React Native (or another mobile framework).
• Background in video streaming, content platforms, or social apps.
• Familiarity with AI/ML integrations (LLMs, prompt engineering, agents).
• Experience with real-time features (WebSockets, pub/sub systems).
• Prior work on high-scale consumer products (millions of users).
   

Why Join Us

• Be part of the founding engineering team shaping the future of entertainment.
• Work on cutting-edge tech at the intersection of AI, video, and mobile-first experiences.
• High-impact role with autonomy, ownership, and visibility.
• Opportunity to build a product that reaches millions of users worldwide.
