We support hundreds of thousands of creators and millions of fans worldwide.

What You'll Do

• Lead technical initiatives that directly impact platform scalability and reliability.
• Scale our systems from PostgreSQL to an event-driven architecture, designing for tens of millions of monthly active users (MAU).
• Drive monolith-to-services decomposition using proven patterns you have executed before.
• Design and implement database optimization strategies for high-throughput workloads.
• Build and scale AI infrastructure, including vector stores, embedding pipelines, and LLM orchestration.
• Architect systems for AI-powered features, including automated chat, content moderation, and recommendations.
• Utilize AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code) to accelerate delivery and help define team standards.
• Mentor engineers across the organization through code reviews, design sessions, and pairing.

Requirements

• 10+ years of hands-on software engineering experience building and shipping at scale.
• Proven track record with distributed systems serving tens of millions of MAU.
• Deep expertise in TypeScript, Node.js, Go, and AWS.
• Strong experience with PostgreSQL at scale, including query optimization, partitioning, and replication.
• Experience with service-oriented architectures and decomposition patterns (Strangler Fig, domain-driven design).
• Familiarity with AI and ML infrastructure, including vector databases, embeddings, and LLM APIs.
• Fluent with AI-assisted development tools and keen to help teams adopt them effectively.
• A natural mentor who elevates other engineers through example, not authority.

Nice to Have
