Stream

We power real-time Chat, Video, Activity Feeds, and AI Moderation for apps like Strava, Bumble, eBay, and Patreon (billions of API requests per month, millions of concurrent users). Looking for a hands-on Lead Engineer (Staff/Principal level) to own Platform & Infrastructure, reporting directly to the CTO. Small, senior team; you write code most of the time. First 6 months focus on: (1) Cloud cost optimization (AWS/GCP) with tooling and guardrails, (2) Platform reliability and scalability (SLOs, observability, hardening), and (3) Architecture decisions on Kubernetes, databases, and cloud provider strategy. Not a fit if you're security/compliance-heavy, scripting-only, or dependent on large-org support structures. Stack: Go, Python, AWS, GCP, Kubernetes, PostgreSQL, CockroachDB, Redis, Terraform.
