Most backend systems look fine on paper until they hit production.
This role is about building services that actually work at scale, under real user demand.
Why This Role
- Leading major media/streaming end client
- Real production impact from day one
- Solving practical backend challenges in a high-scale environment
The Company / Product
You’ll be working on a large-scale platform used by millions, helping build and support backend services that power critical parts of a streaming ecosystem.
What You’ll Be Working On
- Building and supporting APIs and microservices in production
- Developing backend systems using Python + AWS (Lambda, API Gateway, S3, DynamoDB)
- Working with event-driven systems (Kafka, SNS/SQS, etc.)
- Supporting and improving existing production systems
- Debugging real-world issues and keeping systems stable at scale
- Collaborating within an existing team + codebase (pragmatic engineering)
- Python
- AWS (Lambda, API Gateway, S3, DynamoDB, IAM)
- Observability (Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch)
What You’ll Bring
- Experience building and supporting microservices in production
- Good understanding of event-driven architectures
- Ability to debug and support live systems effectively
- Comfortable working in fast-moving teams with minimal hand-holding
Ideal Profiles
- Mid–Senior Backend Engineers with strong production exposure
- Engineers used to working in existing systems (not just greenfield)
- Profiles from streaming, SaaS, or high-traffic platforms
(This is not a pure greenfield build — it’s about making real systems better and keeping them running)
