Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States Wistia Full time


Wistia is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Live Team This role is a great opportunity to work closely with a thoughtful, creative and collaborative team working on an exciting Live Streaming application.

You'll work on the core of Wistia's product, providing our customers with a world-class experience for managing video and audio, launching it to audiences, and analyzing its performance. You will also play a major role in guiding our solutions and technology choices.

You'll work primarily in our modern tech stack with React, TypeScript, GraphQL, and Ruby while building on our collection of platform services.

We're a diverse and inclusive team composed of engineers, product managers and designers. We're technology-minded, but customer focused, always aiming to deliver the highest-impact features that prioritize the long-term success of the product.

Key Responsibilities

  • Collaborate cross-functionally to understand the needs of the customer and deliver a simple and easy-to-use solution.
  • Work comfortably across front-end and back-end development. We use Ruby on Rails and React, but we're open to training engineers experienced with similar frameworks.
  • Balance technical considerations with product and business thinking. You aim for the best value, shipped quickly, not for perfection.
  • Work with engineers across the engineering organization to drive impact beyond just the Live product.

Qualifications

  • You have 5 years experience as a full-stack product engineer. You enjoy working up and down the stack.
  • You are a collaborator. Whether through pair programming, a whiteboard session, or asynchronous communication, collaboration helps the best ideas and practices to proliferate.
  • You have strong communication skills. Each of us has only part of the overall picture in our head at a given time. Explaining ideas at an understandable level of abstraction is critical to achieving a shared vision.
  • You're empathetic, emotionally intelligent, and assume positive intentions. Sometimes things don't go smoothly. A customer gets frustrated, or a coworker does something that bothers you. Understanding where others are coming from, and being in control of and deliberate about how you respond to them, empowers you to solve problems while also being supportive of and sensitive to those around you.
  • You write clean and understandable code. We write code for each other and for our future selves. Code that is clear and tested sets us up for speed, reliability, and a more enjoyable development experience.
  • You know your fundamentals. Fads and frameworks come and go. We're less worried that you know the Next Hot ThingTM than that you feel comfortable with the underlying data structures, algorithms, languages, and protocols that make web applications work.
  • You are comfortable thinking about tradeoffs. Some decisions will always have a downside. Should we use a hosted product that will save us time now, but force us to move to a new system in a year? These are regular conversations
  • You value simplicity. Making things simple and elegant is deceptively difficult, but it's worth the effort because the result is easier to understand and work with.

Working at Wistia

We try to ensure Wistia is an inclusive and diverse place where everyone feels happy, fulfilled, respected, comfortable, and welcome. We're proud to be an equal opportunity workplace. We care a lot, so our benefits are actually benefits, not just the fun stuff like swag and snacks in the office (though we also have lots of those too).

We know the biggest investment we can make is in our employees, so we provide:

  • A competitive compensation package that includes internal equity stock options
  • 401k with 3% company contribution, regardless of whether you contribute (Roth 401k available)
  • Fully paid healthcare, dental, and vision insurance (family plans included)
  • Pre-Tax FSA and Dependent Care Account
  • Flexible working hours – work at the times when you operate best, or set aside time for child and/or elderly care responsibilities during traditional "office hours"
  • 16 weeks paid parental leave for all new and expecting parents
  • Unlimited PTO (pretty common for people to take 4+ weeks off throughout the year)
  • Remote-first culture (work from anywhere in the U.S.)
  • Annual professional development stipend (courses, conferences, and more)
  • New hire bonus to enhance your home office set up
  • Pet insurance discount

Location/Remote Opportunities:

Wistia is a remote-first company. Employees can work from our beautiful office in Cambridge, MA, or anywhere in the continental US.

Wistia provides equal employment opportunities to all employees and applicants for employment and prohibits discrimination and harassment of any type without regard to race, color, religion, age, sex, national origin, disability status, genetics, protected veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or any other characteristic protected by federal, state or local laws.
