Most streaming platforms struggle to scale backend systems properly you’ve seen it.
This role is about building the infrastructure that actually holds up under real-world production demand.
Why This Role
- Leading major media/streaming end client
- Real ownership of backend systems at scale
- Solving complex distributed systems problems in a high-traffic environment
The Company / Product
You’ll be working on a large-scale streaming platform powering millions of users, building and scaling backend systems that support critical services across the ecosystem.
What You’ll Be Working On
- Designing and delivering scalable APIs and microservices
- Building backend systems using Python + AWS (Lambda, API Gateway, S3, DynamoDB)
- Improving observability, reliability, and performance in production
- Debugging complex issues and leading resolution across teams
- Staying hands‑on while setting technical direction and standards
- Python
- AWS (Lambda, API Gateway, S3, DynamoDB, IAM)
- Observability (Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch)
What You’ll Bring
- Proven experience building distributed systems at scale
- Deep understanding of microservices + event-driven architecture
- Ability to lead technically while staying hands‑on
Ideal Profiles
- Senior Backend Engineers stepping into technical leadership
- Existing Tech Leads / Engineering Leads in high‑scale environments
- Engineers from streaming, media, or high‑traffic platforms
(Not a pure management role — this is hands‑on, delivery-focused leadership)
