Job description

As a Senior Full-Stack Engineer focused on backend systems, you'll design and implement the critical infrastructure powering Viewstats as it expands to other platforms – Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and Twitter .

• Implement OAuth integrations with multiple social media platforms
• Develop payment processing systems supporting multiple payment methods
• Create robust anomaly algorithms using statistical analysis and machine learning
• Build high-performance data stores for tracking billions of views with hourly aggregation
• Design APIs that power the interface
• Implement secure authentication and authorization systems
• Collaborate with frontend developers to ensure seamless data integration
• Optimize database performance for real-time analytics and reporting
• Participate in architectural decisions including database selection (DynamoDB vs PostgreSQL)

Need to Haves

• 5+ years experience building production backend systems in Python with significant user load
• Experience with FastAPI
• Strong expertise in at least one major backend framework (Node.js, Django, Rails, etc.)
• Experience with both SQL and NoSQL databases (particularly DynamoDB/MongoDB and PostgreSQL)
• Proven track record implementing third-party API integrations, especially OAuth systems
• Experience with real-time data processing and analytics
• Familiarity with AWS serverless architecture (Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB)
• Strong understanding of security best practices for financial transactions
• Practical knowledge of Docker and container orchestration
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and automated testing

Nice to Haves

• Background in anomaly identification
• Experience with international/multi-currency payment platforms
• Familiarity with social media platform APIs
• Experience with ML/AI implementation for data analysis
• Background working with high-volume view or analytics data

We're flexible on specific technologies but currently exploring:

• Backend: Node.js with TypeScript
• Database: DynamoDB with potential PostgreSQL for specific components
• Infrastructure: AWS (Lambda, API Gateway, S3)
• Frontend: React with TypeScript
• DevOps: Docker, GitHub Actions, Terraform

What We Offer

• Opportunity to shape the architecture of a platform from the ground up
• Work with a team that has direct access to top creators and global brands
• Flexible remote work options
• Fast-paced startup environment with significant growth potential

How To Apply

Please send your resume, GitHub profile, and a brief note explaining why you're interested in this role. Include examples of backend systems you've built that handle significant scale or interesting technical challenges.

We're looking for someone who can move quickly, make smart technical decisions, and build reliable systems that can grow with us. If you're excited about complex data problems, real-time analytics, and creating the infrastructure for a next-generation social platform, we want to talk to you.
