- Research and create proofs of concepts and introduce new technologies to the team.
- Mentor others to accelerate their career-growth.
- Help define platform capabilities and implement core solutions using solid design principles, balancing complexity, speed of implementation, reliability, and expandability.
- Diagnose and improve the quality of our end-to-end video experience.
- Build and maintain a developer toolchain / environment that helps our engineers work efficiently.
- Evaluate and configure production systems including deployment, autoscaling, logging and monitoring.

- Have a Bachelor's degree in computer science or a related field.
- Have 5+ years building and maintaining quality user interfaces that have reached a large audience, ideally while the product is experiencing rapid growth.
- Have experience developing end-to-end application software development, including front end, back end, UI, and UX; we use TypeScript, React, and
- Have relational database familiarity technologies with SQL.
- Have experience with cloud platforms such as AWS/Google Cloud Platform.
- Have configured deployments, autoscaling, logging and monitoring in production environments.
- Can readily learn most technologies as you go.
- Care about the business implications of anything you build. You're not just going after cool stuff — you understand the balance between craft, speed, and the bottom line.
- Are flexible, dedicated, and curious.
This is a Chicago-based hybrid position with 3 days a week in the office.
