• MySQL or similar relational DB with ORM experience (Sequelize preferred).
• Comfortable in a large, existing codebase you didn’t write.

• Self-directed with the ability to unblock and decide trade-offs.

Responsabilidades

• Ship features end to end from UI to services and production.

Descripción del empleo

Software Engineer

About the role: Vancast is a private streaming platform where organisations create and host live and on-demand events more than 7,000 of them to date.

The platform is considerably bigger than the team: over twenty services, a decade of history, and real broadcasts that start at a fixed time and cannot be moved when something breaks.

The role itself is broad and hands-on. You would ship features end to end, from the interface through to the services behind it and out to production.

We do not split front-end from back-end between people. You would work on new product features and on the platform work that keeps the codebase healthy.

It is one large monorepo more than twenty deployable services and applications, actively developed and shipped so you would work across most of it rather than being boxed into one corner.

What working on a small team actually means here: Your work reaches production in days, not quarters. Nobody assigns you tickets each morning. You review everyones code, and everyone reviews yours. You design your own implementations take a fuzzy need, decide what it should become, specify it, then build it. There is no design function, so you design the interface too.

If you prefer well-specified tickets and a senior developer to check your work, this role will frustrate you. If you would rather be handed an ambiguous problem and come back with a proposal, it will not.

We are a small engineering team, and you would be a big part of it.

Requirements

• TypeScript and modern JavaScript neither should be a learning project.
• Node back-end development REST APIs, request lifecycle, authentication and authorisation as everyday work rather than unfamiliar territory.
• Depth in a component-based front-end framework. Angular, React and Vue all count. We use Angular, but we care how you reason about component design, state and reactivity not which syntax you already know.
• Relational databases and an ORM. We use MySQL and Sequelize equivalent experience transfers.
• Comfortable in a large codebase you did not write. A lot of what you work on will already exist.
• Writes clean, maintainable code including the code AI helps you write. We use AI tooling and expect you to get real leverage from it. You still own everything you commit: reviewed, understood, and held to the same standard as anything you wrote by hand.
• Able to design a usable interface unaided. Not visual polish a screen someone can use without being shown how.
• Clear written English. Our code, commits, tickets and documentation are in English, and most of our coordination is written.
• Genuinely self-directed. Unblocking yourself, choosing what comes next, making a call on a trade-off and being able to say what it cost.

Nice to have

None of these are required. All of them are worth something.

• AWS in depth ECS, Lambda, CloudFront, S3, Step Functions.
• Live video and streaming HLS, MediaLive, MediaPackage, MediaConvert, CDN and eCDN delivery.
• Angular and NgRx specifically.
• NestJS and Sequelize.
• Real-time systems websockets, server-sent events, Redis, reconnection and ordering.
• NX monorepos and GitLab CI.
• Policy-based authorisation.

The setup

Barcelona.

Remote-first, ideally one or two days a week together in person to begin with flexible, and not a hard requirement.

Full time, contrato indefinido.

9 6 as standard, flexible in practice.

40.000 45.000 gross annual, depending on experience.
