You’ll own backend and platform engineering for a video streaming product built primarily in Go, with Rust and C/C++ for performance-critical paths, running on Kubernetes across AWS and GCP via Pulumi. This is a live, production system - real services, messaging, caching, persistence, and the control plane that keeps the platform running, not a greenfield build. Video streaming knowledge is a plus, not a gate: if you’re a strong Go/systems engineer curious about real-time media, this is a fast way to grow into that domain while doing serious backend and infrastructure work.

Quick summary: 
Senior Software Engineer, Go / C++ / Rust - backend services, distributed systems, Kubernetes (production), Pulumi, Linux, AWS/GCP. 7+ years. Hourly contract, initial 6-month engagement. Video streaming domain knowledge (SRT/RTMP/GStreamer) is a valued bonus, not a hard gate.
 

What you’ll do

Backend & systems (primary focus):
- Design and build production-grade backend services, primarily in Go 
- Implement performance-critical components in Rust and/or C/C++ 
- Build and maintain APIs and internal services for media orchestration and platform control 
- Integrate messaging, caching, and persistence layers: RabbitMQ, Redis, PostgreSQL (MySQL acceptable) 
- Write clean, testable, production-ready code with strong ownership of quality and reliability
 

Cloud, DevOps & infrastructure (primary focus): 
- Containerize services with Docker and deploy on Kubernetes 
- Define and manage infrastructure with Pulumi (IaC) 
- Deploy and operate services across AWS and GCP 
- Own Linux-based deployments, debugging, and runtime operations - Implement CI/CD pipelines and operational best practices 
- Improve observability through logging, metrics, and tracing

Distributed systems & platform architecture: 
- Design for scalability, resiliency, and failure tolerance 
- Take part in production troubleshooting, performance tuning, and capacity planning 
- Contribute to the control plane: orchestration, lifecycle management, health monitoring, configuration 
- Work closely with DevOps and infrastructure teams
 

Video streaming & media (secondary domain knowledge, not a day-one requirement):
- Real-time streaming protocols: SRT, RTMP, MPEG-TS 
- GStreamer and/or FFmpeg exposure; custom GStreamer plugin development is a strong bonus 
- Video encoding/decoding concepts (H.264, H.265, muxing/demuxing) 
- Delivery protocols: HLS, LL-HLS, MPEG-DASH/CMAF, WebRTC
 

Who we’re looking for

Must have 
- 7+ years of professional software engineering experience, with proven ownership of complex, production-grade systems 
- Strong Go proficiency - or a clear, demonstrated ability to ramp up quickly - Solid C/C++ (memory management, concurrency, performance profiling) 
- Working knowledge of Rust for performance-critical components - Strong hands-on Linux experience 
- Docker 
- Kubernetes - real production experience 
- Pulumi (IaC) 
- RabbitMQ and Redis 
- PostgreSQL or MySQL 
- Working exposure to AWS and GCP 
- Strong problem-solving skills in low-level and distributed environments; comfortable operating independently in ambiguous, fast-moving conditions

FTE: Full time (40 h per week)
Timeline: 3-6 months (tbd)
Start: ASAP
English: B2

Recruitment process: a tech check with us, then an interview with the client

Requirements:
A Full-Stack Craftsman: You are an expert in Ruby on Rails and TypeScript, capable of building everything from complex dashboards and billing UIs to sleek documentation platforms.

The "DevEx" Champion: You have a natural empathy for other developers. You’ll develop deep knowledge of our platform (Pub/Sub, Chat, LiveSync) and use the product yourself to gain a first-hand understanding of the developer experience.

Comfortable with Ambiguity: You thrive in high-level vagueness. You can take a feature from a loose concept to a shipped product with minimal hand-holding, identifying problems and proposing solutions independently rather than waiting for a roadmap.

Accountable & Reliable: You take pride in high-quality, well-tested code. You meet your delivery commitments, provide realistic estimates based on technical complexity, and communicate proactively if a timeline is ever at risk.

An Owner: You monitor what you build in production and take personal ownership of quality issues. You see a feature through its entire lifecycle, from the first line of code to the final metric.

As a Senior Backend Engineer, you will own critical platform services end-to-end—from feature definition and API design to implementation, testing, deployment, and production support. You will join a cross-functional team responsible for high-performance backend systems and data pipelines that power intelligent analytics, large-scale event processing, and workflow automation.

This role demands deep expertise in Python development, cloud platforms, and container orchestration, along with a mindset for automation, reliability, and AI-assisted development. You will influence the technical roadmap, mentor peers, participate in architecture reviews, and ensure the platform scales reliably under high-volume production workloads.

Key Responsibilities:

• Own backend features and services throughout their lifecycle, from requirements analysis and technical design to deployment, monitoring, and production support.
• Design, develop, and maintain scalable APIs, microservices, and data-processing systems that support high-volume, cloud-native applications.
• Build and optimize solutions running on AWS, leveraging modern cloud services, distributed architectures, and event-driven patterns.
• Collaborate with Product, Engineering, and DevOps teams to translate business requirements into reliable and maintainable technical solutions.
• Ensure software quality through automated testing, code reviews, observability practices, and continuous improvement of development workflows.

Required Competence and Skills:

• At least 8+ years of professional backend development experience, including at least 4-5 years working with Python.
• Proven track record designing and maintaining robust, scalable APIs and services.
• Strong proficiency with SQL (PostgreSQL) and NoSQL (Redis) databases, data modeling, and query optimization.
• Hands-on experience with AWS or equivalent cloud platforms and core managed services.
• Solid understanding of containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes/EKS).
• Hands-on experience using AI-powered development tools and coding agents (e.g., Cursor, Claude Code, Codex) to accelerate software delivery and improve code quality.
• Experience building distributed microservices and event-driven systems at scale.
• Demonstrated ability to own production systems, participate in on-call support, and resolve incidents effectively.
• Excellent problem-solving skills, system design expertise, and clear technical communication.
• Familiarity with automated testing frameworks, CI/CD pipelines, and observability tools.

Nice to Have:

• Experience with Python web frameworks such as Django, Flask, or FastAPI.
• Familiarity with SQLAlchemy or other ORM libraries.
• Knowledge of search and analytics platforms such as Elasticsearch or OpenSearch.
• Background in large-scale distributed systems, data-intensive platforms, or real-time event processing.
• Experience working with enterprise SaaS products, cloud platforms, or highly regulated environments.
