About the Role

We're rebuilding our AI-first engineering for a company with over 100M users. This is a ground-up build focused on creating industry-leading live streaming and gaming experiences for the Beast community. You will define the tech stacks, design for scale and performance, and own critical reliability and infrastructure cost decisions.

Responsibilities

  • Architect the live and game services end to end, building a scalable, high-performing, and cost-efficient system for high-traffic audiences.
  • Design real-time systems (video processing, real-time messaging, leaderboards, etc.) that stay correct and fast under spike-driven load.
  • Set the reliability and engineering quality bar: SLOs, capacity planning, incident response, and resilience patterns for systems under massive consumer load.
  • Design the live and game service architecture and drive feature development using AI coding tools.
  • Own the path to production: drive systems from development through deployment, leveraging AI-facilitated QA and SRE processes and tooling.
  • Oversee the team's backend services across security, reliability, and infrastructure cost.
  • Maintain relationships with third-party service providers.
  • Lead and mentor a team of engineers, setting the technical bar and growing the team's capabilities.

Requirements

  • AI-Native: You're already burning through tokens and using AI coding agents daily to move faster.
  • 10+ years building and operating large-scale live streaming or gaming services.
  • Real depth in real-time architecture: high concurrency, low latency, eventual consistency, horizontal scaling, and fault tolerance.
  • Owned the full architecture of live streaming or gaming systems serving large, spike-driven user bases.
  • Led the response when a system broke in production.
  • Set technical direction adopted across multiple teams or titles.
  • Deep expertise architecting full-stack tech stacks for large-scale live or gaming systems.
  • Hands-on software development experience across backend and frontend (Go, C++, Rust, Java, or equivalent).
  • Familiarity with modern AI coding tools and AI-facilitated development processes.
  • Prior hands-on experience with major cloud service providers.
