Collaborate with mobile, frontend, design, and music teams to turn creative ideas into robust, scalable features

Help shape our backend architecture, engineering culture, and technical strategy as we scale from thousands to millions of creators

Ensure reliability, performance, and security while keeping development cycles fast and lightweight
