Job summary

Innovated Studios in Greater Orlando seeks a Senior Full Stack Developer to own end-to-end platform features, from React/Next.js UI to backend services and GPU-accelerated processing. You’ll work on streaming, computer vision, and time-series analytics in a hands-on, ownership-driven role.

You will ship end-to-end features, improve reliability of pipelines, and collaborate with product and customers to iterate quickly and responsibly.

Qualifications

• Strong TypeScript across frontend and backend with React/Next.js experience.
• Production PostgreSQL experience including schema design and performance.
• Experience with video streaming and media systems (RTSP/FFmpeg/GStreamer).
• GPU workloads in production: CUDA, containerized workers, batching, memory management.
• Experience building event-driven systems with queues and retries.
• Containerized services with Docker and modern deployment workflows.
• Testing habits: unit and integration tests; maintainable code.
• Strong product instincts and user-outcome thinking.
• Customer collaboration: joining calls and turning feedback into shipped improvements.

Responsibilities

• Build and improve core product flows in the web app, projects, uploads, face labeling, search, timelines, permissions, and admin.
• Design and implement backend APIs and serverless functions that handle video ingest, job orchestration, and results delivery.
• Build and operate our video pipeline, stream ingest, decode, frame extraction, segmenting, timestamps, and synchronization.
• Own GPU inference workloads end to end, containerized workers, batching, throughput tuning, memory management, model lifecycle, and failure handling.
• Build event driven systems using queues and messaging, retries, idempotency, dead letter handling, backpressure, and replay strategies.
• Model data in PostgreSQL for identity, embeddings, emotion events, and time based queries, optimize for scale and cost.
• Improve observability, logging, metrics, tracing, dashboards, and alerts that actually help during incidents.
• Partner with product and customers to validate assumptions, understand what matters, and iterate fast.
• Spot broken or missing pieces and fix them without waiting for permission, including internal tooling and developer experienceimprovements.

We are seeking a Senior Full Stack Developer to join our on-site team in Greater Orlando for a full-time position. In this role, you will own meaningful slices of the platform end to end, from React and Next.js user flows, to backend services and serverless functions, to GPU enabled video processing and inference, to data modeling and observability. This is not a “just frontend” or “just backend”role,it’sa builder role with real ownership in a system that touches streaming, computer vision, and time seriesanalytics.

Thekind of builderwe’relookingfor

Youbuild what needsbuilding.You’veshipped something real,maybe onyour own,maybe ata companyno one’sheard of, and you know what it takes to get from idea to working product. You understand product ecosystems, not just code, and you care about activation and retention,youinstrument and iterate, and you can talk to customers without breaking into hives. Youdon’tneed permission to fixthings,you just fix them, and you communicate clearly while you doit.
