The Company

Who We Are

Blurb builds revenue-generating content products for the most influential media companies in the world. We scale content from what already exists — turning catalogs and brand assets into high performing formats for every major platform.

Our mission is simple: help media companies unlock growth through high volume, high impact content.

The Team

How We Work

We are a nimble, execution obsessed team of engineers who thrive on solving real business problems with smart, scalable solutions. Engineering at Blurb is about building the backbone that powers performant content systems for our clients, not writing speculative code.

We are a small, high trust team. There is no handoff culture here. Every engineer scopes, architects, builds and ships. You will work closely with designers, product, and creative leads and you will own your work end to end.

We care about impact, not just implementation. We engineer with speed, stability and long term adaptability in mind.

The Role

What You Will Do

As a Senior Full Stack Developer, you will be a core contributor to the platform that makes content at scale possible. You will architect, build and maintain systems that handle high volume video and content workflows for major media clients.

This is a senior individual contributor (IC) role. You will not be managing or delegating, you will be doing. Priority is execution.

In your first 30–60 days

Work closely with the team to deeply understand our products, APIs, and infrastructure.

Get comfortable in the codebases by shipping bug fixes and small features.

Begin identifying areas of improvement in architecture, developer experience, or tooling.

Once you are fully ramped

Architect new products and features with stability, flexibility and performance in mind.

Own large scale efforts from technical scoping through to production delivery.

Lead the development of new tools and production pipelines.

Maintain and evolve infrastructure proactively, not just reactively.

Ensure quality of all deliverables. Set the bar, then hold it.

Contribute ideas that improve how we build and what we build.

This role is NOT right for you if

Your best work is coordinating and delegating rather than writing code.

You prefer a structured corporate environment with established processes and a full team around you.

You expect someone else to resolve ambiguity before you can move.

You rely on AI to produce code you do not fully understand or cannot defend.

This is a builder role. You will write code every single day.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Hard Skills

5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with meaningful back-end or full-stack ownership.

Strong, production-grade TypeScript (Node.js) — this is a core requirement, not a nice-to-have.

Solid Python skills, especially for data-heavy or ML-adjacent work.

Hands-on experience with Google Cloud Services (Firebase/Firestore, Cloud Functions, Cloud Run, Compute Engine).

Proven ability to own the full product lifecycle: architecture build delivery maintenance.

Experience designing and scaling systems for high-volume, performance-sensitive workloads.

Comfort working in a Linux environment; Bash/shell scripting is a regular part of the job.

How You Work

You thrive in ambiguity. You define requirements when they are unclear instead of waiting for them to be handed to you.

You are a self directed executor. You pick up tasks, figure them out and ship without needing to be unblocked at every step.

You are comfortable using AI as a productivity multiplier (Claude, ChatGPT, etc.) while maintaining your own critical thinking, you architect and analyze code yourself, you do not outsource it.
