**What will you be doing?**

You will be primarily be working in Node + typescript on the backend to help us deliver more video/account features to our customers. As a startup we are not extremely overbuilt and have a lot of greenfield space to explore and test new ideas and do research.

**Who are we looking for?**

We are looking for someone who gets thrilled by the idea of solving deep technical problems, takes pride in their own work and likes to get creative to build innovative things. We know that not everyone fits into boxes and we are all always learning, however here are a few things that we are looking for:

- Someone who is experienced in designing and expanding Node.js based apis and has a strong knowledge of JS fundamentals. Knowledge of fastify or video related code is a bonus
- We care about how we write our code. So we are looking for someone who is comfortable going through code reviews, knows or would like to learn about testing their code and make it more performant
- We don’t care about university degrees, but we would like to see you have a good bit of theoretical knowledge in areas you have worked in and are interested in
- Have good communication skills and be a team player who is happy to lend a hand if someone gets stuck
- Someone who can roll up their sleeves and jump on different things. Building a simple online video editor isn’t always so simple, so you might work streaming related code one week and authorisation code the next. You don’t need to know it all, but someone who is not scared of a challenge
- Be able to contribute to the culture of engineering excellence by writing better documentation, teaching more junior teammates or improving processes around engineering in general
- Some experience with react based frontends is a bonus
