Junior Backend Engineer – Build the Foundation of a New Social Platform

We're building something ambitious at the intersection of social, media, and responsible content creation.

Think of it as a re-imagination of how people create, share, and connect.

We're looking for a Junior Backend Engineer to join our core team and grow alongside a senior backend engineer. You'll contribute to building systems that power real technical challenges in video, media, and social interactions—while learning from experienced engineers shaping a product built for scale.

What You'll Be Working On

  • Contributing to backend services and APIs for our platform
  • Implementing features for media upload, processing, and delivery pipelines
  • Writing clean, maintainable code for video and content handling workflows
  • Supporting real-time features, notifications, and user interactions
  • Learning to build for scale, performance, and reliability from day one
  • Participating in code reviews and collaborating closely with the senior backend engineer

🧩 What We're Looking For

Backend Fundamentals

  • Solid understanding of at least one server-side language (preferably Node.js)
  • Familiarity with REST APIs and basic backend architecture patterns
  • Exposure to databases—SQL (Postgres, MySQL) or NoSQL (MongoDB)
  • Understanding of async operations, promises, and basic concurrency concepts
  • Eagerness to Learn

  • Curiosity about distributed systems, caching, and event-driven architectures
  • Interest in video / audio processing, CDNs, and media delivery
  • Willingness to dive into complex problems around performance and scalability
  • Growth mindset—you ask questions, seek feedback, and iterate
  • Product Thinking

  • Care about the user experience and how backend decisions impact the product
  • Interest in building features that are reliable, fast, and intuitive
  • Awareness of privacy, security, and responsible tech practices
  • Nice to Have

  • Personal projects or coursework involving APIs, databases, or media handling
  • Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) or Docker
  • Familiarity with background jobs, queues, or task processing
  • Interest in social platforms, creator tools, or content moderation
  • 🌍 Who You Are

  • You're early in your career but hungry to learn and build real things
  • You're comfortable with ambiguity and excited by 0→1 challenges
  • You care about the cultural impact of social and media technology
  • You want mentorship from experienced engineers solving hard problems
  • You're collaborative, communicative, and eager to contribute
  • ⚡ Why Join Us

  • Work directly with a senior backend engineer on foundational systems
  • Rare opportunity to shape a product from the ground up
  • Small team = real ownership, rapid learning, and direct impact
  • Tackle challenging problems in media, social, and distributed systems
  • Competitive compensation + equity
  • 📩 How to Apply

    When you apply, tell us about an incident that shaped you growing up personally or professionally - and how it influences the way you approach building technology today.
