Brief description
[This role previously required 4 YOE as a hard req. Removed 6/13.]
Challenging, performance heavy role at an early-stage company. They build tools that allow developers to build on top of conversation data from meetings, video calls, etc across a range of different platforms. Think something like a note-taker that joins meetings, a helper for sales teams that embeds relevant information directly into the video stream, or a meeting bot that times different sections of a meeting to keep it on track.
You'd be working on:
- High-performance, real time code 
- Large-scale infrastructure (2M+ EC2 instances in the last month) processing high volumes of data (600 GB/sec of video at peak load) 
- Building the core product, from APIs to real-time video processing pipelines, owning major features from development to deployment and in production. 
- Operating and scaling video-processing infrastructure - each engineer maintains their own code in production. 
- Helping customers solve their problems. Everyone on the team participates in customer support so that they stay connected to users. 
What they're looking for
- Typically 4+ YOE, but if you are a hobbyist who is very passionate about coding and can show your stuff on our interview, they're willing to consider you. This is particularly true if you've worked with a lot of high-performance, processing-intensive applications. 
- High workload: "You’ll have a ton of responsibility, and there’s always an enormous amount of stuff to do. Raw hours actually make a big difference in the impact we can make right now." If you're looking for relaxed work-life balance, this is probably not the role for you. 
- Customer empathy and a desire to work with customers directly and make product decisions 
- The ability to learn and be productive quickly in new domains 
- A background as a founder, especially for a dev-tools startup 
- Located in the Americas (does not need to be the US, but US timezones +-1) 
Culture-wise, flat, high autonomy, very focused on finding really ambitious/highly motivated people (one of their explicit pitches is "come work for us and then go start your own company in a couple years").
What they're offering
- Salary: 190k-235k 
- Equity: 0.2-0.35% 
- Growing rapidly (~4.5M ARR, 13x growth YoY) 
- Rust, Django, Postgres stack, running on k8s on AWS
