What the job involves
- As a Lead Developer, you spend most of your time on engineering and programming. You will also mentor your team and support them in their growth, set the technical vision for the SDK, work closely with the product team, and collaborate with other engineering teams
- You are building SDKs that other developers use. This sets a very high bar in terms of code quality
- Our SDKs are used by some of the world’s largest apps. Stability, performance, and world-class documentation are essential
- Since we provide APIs & SDKs that thousands of companies use, we can and should optimize to a very high-quality level
Our take
Every day, people all over the world communicate via in-app chats. However, chat and UX tools can take months to build and years to perfect. Stream solves this problem by allowing developers to build chat and activity streams into apps quickly and without hassle.
Having started out building APIs for activity feeds, Stream quickly moved into the lucrative chat market. Its customers now include household names such as Unilever, NBC Sports and TaskRabbit. Stream has seen funding from both big-name firms and startup CEOs - a clear indication of the company's broad appeal.
The company has lately been focussed on further developing its in-house technology, in order to fuel its continued growth in the coming years. It continues to enrich its Activity Feed, Chat SDK and AI-based Moderation products, as well as developing Live Video capabilities, which it states clients have been interested in for some time.
