What the job involves
- Stream is hiring an experienced Unreal Engine C++ Developer for a short-term contract (2-3 months) to help elevate our open-source Unreal SDK to the next level of quality and usability
- This is a hands-on role with high visibility and impact
- You’ll contribute directly to the Stream Chat Unreal SDK, which is fully open source. Your core responsibility will be to identify areas for improvement across the SDK—including architecture, performance, and developer experience—and implement enhancements that align with best-in-class standards
- Stream builds SDKs used by thousands of developers, including some of the largest apps in the world. You’re not just writing code—you’re creating tools for other engineers. This demands exceptional quality, thoughtful design, and rock-solid stability. You’ll work in a deeply technical environment where precision and performance matter
- Our tech stack:
- At Stream, we use a wide collection of technologies to offer highly optimized and available features to our customers. Here is a shortlist of the technology that we currently use:
- Go, gRPC, RocksDB, Python
- Postgresql, RabbitMQ
- AWS, Puppet, CloudFormation
- Grafana, Graphite, ELK, Jaeger
- Redis, Memcached
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, and it 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 2022-released AI-based Moderation products, as well as developing Live Video capabilities, which it states clients have been interested in for some time.
