Company mission
To empower developers with the flexibility and scalability they need to easily build rich conversations and engaging communities.
Role
Who you are
- We seek someone who enjoys building features/products end-to-end, from architecting backend systems to crafting intuitive user experiences
- While you won't need to build large frontend systems (we have a dedicated team for that), you should be able to understand the frontend stack and implement changes
- We value solid engineering experience and motivation to learn more than prior language expertise
- This role requires at least 4 years of backend engineering experience. We’re looking with someone with experience in following areas:
- Experience with Go
- Scalability/database/Redis experience
- Experience with Frontend development (React preferably)
Desirable
- Experience with AWS or other cloud provider
- Python (our AI runs on Python) and Rust experience
- Message queues experience
- Full text search experience
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering or a related field
What the job involves
- We are looking for a Full-Stack Engineer to join our Moderation Team. Moderation touches all areas of product development—from databases and APIs to front-end user experience
- With the recent introduction of the DSA and AI Act, moderation has become one of our highest priorities. You'll be joining a team that operates with peak efficiency and rapid development cycles
- We'll train you in Go if you're experienced with a different tech stack through our 10-week internal onboarding program focused on Go, scalability, and more
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.
