What we're looking for :

1. At least seven years of experience as a software engineer, with at least 3 years in a senior or lead role.
2. Experience in a high-performing engineering team operating at scale, from a scale-up or established organization known for great engineering culture.
3. An ability to work across the stack, from complex UI interactions to database query optimization.
4. Deep knowledge in parts of the stack, whether client-side or server-side.
5. Relevant experience in building enterprise-grade SaaS products delivering AI-powered video generation, billing systems, experimentation platforms, video delivery systems, online editors, real-time collaboration, etc.
6. Strong alignment with commercial success.
7. Previous leadership experience with smaller teams is a plus.
