Role
Who you are
- 5+ years of experience as a founder or engineer in a hyperspeed startup – we ship features fast, so we need someone who can keep up
- Robust full-stack engineering background, with experience in:
- Node.js, TypeScript, React, and Electron for building performant desktop apps
- Modern cloud platforms, including Cloudflare, AWS, GCP, and Azure
- Native development, particularly with C++ and Swift, including building and integrating low-level modules into cross-platform applications
- Building and productionizing AI/LLM-powered features using platforms like OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Amazon Bedrock, and Microsoft Azure—with strong competency in prompt engineering and a working knowledge of MCP server architectures
- Ownership mentality (no task is too small for you) – it’s all hands on deck here and we need everyone rowing the boat
- Deep understanding of system architecture and design patterns – we’re looking for someone who can hit the ground running day one
- Excellent communication skills and a collaborative mindset – we’re extremely lean so we’re looking for a team player who works well with others
- Type-A tendencies: maybe you’re extremely detail-oriented. Or maybe you take pride in shipping high-quality products. Whatever it is you do, you give it your all
- Must be based in or willing to relocate to NYC – although we’re flexible with days off & schedules, we have a 100% in-office culture during the week
What the job involves
- We're seeking a Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer to join our fast-paced engineering team in our New York City office
- You’ll play a critical role in building and scaling our cross-platform application, working across the stack —from modern TypeScript frontends to native system-level integrations — with a strong emphasis on performance, reliability, and seamless user experience
- This is a highly technical role for someone who’s excited to work at the intersection of desktop software, native development, and AI integration, and who thrives in a fast-paced, collaborative environment
- Design, build, and maintain core features of an Electron desktop application
- Own end-to-end implementation of user-facing and infrastructure features, from UI to native modules
- Develop and integrate LLM-based functionality
- Collaborate on native code written in C++ (Windows) and Swift (macOS)
- Help make architectural decisions and contribute to the technical direction of the company
Our take
Video games have become highly social experiences due to multiplayer gaming, eSports, and social media, spawning a huge market for audiences who enjoy watching gaming-related video content. Gamers commonly stream games and edit the footage to produce memes and engage with friends, but this requires many software tools and a separate platform on which to share experiences.
Medal.tv provides a social platform for gaming video clips, allowing users to record and edit footage, make gaming memes, and share content with friends within the same software. The platform collects in-game data to mitigate cheating and cyberbullying and integrates directly into any Windows or Android game.
Whilst the company will face great competition from platform giants such as Youtube, TikTok, and Twitch, Medal.tv shows the potential to stand out by being specifically designed for gaming content. Furthermore, the platform’s accessible video capturing and editing interface keeps the end-to-end social gaming experience within the same platform, making it more convenient and immersive for gamers than on other platforms.
