Streaming video has been a thing for over a decade now. So much so that you'd be tempted to think the biggest innovations in this field are behind us. Higher bandwidths, bitrates, and resolutions are cool and all, but nobody's actually adding new features anymore. Right? Wrong!
Nice twist, tell me more...
This niche development company is building the future in the form of a low-latency live streaming platform that's poised to change the industry forever. Think direct interaction between streamers and streaming services and their millions of viewers. Giving audiences control over the content they're consuming and a way to meaningfully engage with whatever is happening on-screen. From simple polls and trivia questions to intense competitions and unique promotions, this is the next generation of streaming solutions.
Sounds awesome, how can I help?
Interaction is great and the more the merrier, but only if there's a back-end that can support snappy interactions and low-latency streaming for millions of viewers spread across the globe. This is where you come in.
As a senior Back-end Developer it's up to you to take the lead in designing and developing the highly-available, highly-performant en (near) infinitely-scalable back end. From translating new features and roadmap items into back-end tickets and taking care of both design and development, to ensuring everything is well structured and documented. Of course, you won't be working alone. You'll be part of a diverse team of experienced software engineers across a range of disciplines - all focused on providing massive audiences with unforgettable experiences.
That's my jam, but what about the tech stack?
We like telling stories, but some things work better as a list, so here goes:
- Java 21 with Spring Boot
- MongoDB
- AWS
- and a suite of modern CI/CD tools
- Lots of performance tuning and working with highly concurrent code
- Automated testing
Experience is a relative concept, but we expect you'll need at least 5 years of experience to take on this challenge. Do you feel you can do it with less? Be our guest, we're looking forward to being impressed by your skills. Oh, and it obviously helps if you have prior experience working with streaming video of some sort. And no, unfortunately, regularly bingeing tv shows or following a few streamers doesn't count.
I'm in! But what's in it for me?
Your impact is directly reflected in your compensation. Starting with a base salary up to € 6.500,- gross a month based on fulltime and ending with paid gear, travel expenses, hybrid working, fun getaways, trainings aimed at your professional development and a spectacular office - you'll be well taken care of. Not to mention, the chance to be a part of the coming revolution in streaming video.
