Job description

We’re looking for a Lead Full-Stack Platform Engineer with over 10 years of hands‑on experience in architecting and building end‑to‑end video streaming platforms. The ideal candidate is a strong technical leader who can design, develop, and scale complex systems across the full stack, while ensuring automation, performance, and reliability in a cloud‑native environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Architect and lead frontend and full‑stack development for a high‑performance, cloud‑hosted video streaming platform.
• Design and implement scalable solutions using ReactJS, Advanced JavaScript (ES6+), Node.js, Python, and PHP.
• Build and optimize streaming workflows — HLS, DASH, WebRTC (low latency), adaptive bitrate, and CDN integrations.
• Implement test automation frameworks for unit, integration, and end‑to‑end validation to maintain platform quality.
• Drive CI/CD pipeline automation, ensuring smooth build, test, and deployment processes.
• Manage Dockerized and serverless deployments across AWS, Azure, or GCP.
• Ensure high availability, performance tuning, caching, observability, and scalability of core systems.
• Mentor and guide engineering teams, conduct design/code reviews, and enforce best practices.

Required Skills

• Minimum 10 years of full‑stack engineering experience, with a focus on large‑scale or media‑based platforms.
• Proven experience in video streaming architecture and real‑time media workflows.
• Deep expertise in ReactJS, Advanced JavaScript (ES6+), Node.js, Python, and PHP.
• Strong knowledge of CI/CD pipelines, test automation, DevOps, and cloud‑native environments.
• Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, AWS/Azure/GCP, and serverless components.
• Strong debugging, optimization, and problem‑solving abilities.
• Demonstrated leadership in mentoring teams and delivering high‑quality, scalable software solutions.

Preferred Skills

• Experience with Next.js, micro‑frontends, or Java‑based backends.
• Exposure to OTT, live streaming, and real‑time media delivery.
• Familiarity with AR/VR and 3D interactive experiences.
• Knowledge of infrastructure‑as‑code (Terraform), monitoring stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK), and observability tools.

About The Role

This is a senior technical leadership position for someone who can architect, code, automate, and guide. You’ll define the future of our streaming infrastructure, establish automation‑first principles, and deliver cutting‑edge, cloud‑powered video experiences at scale.
