Position Overview :

In addition to powering our internal services, a major focus will be on creating robust, scalable APIs designed to integrate seamlessly into third-party data pipelines—accelerating our adoption and influence across the broader ecosystem. You will work hands-on with Node.js, Python, and Rust, leveraging Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Firebase. You’ll shape back-end architectures that empower partners and customers to trust what they see, thereby strengthening the chain of authenticity across entire media workflows.

Key Responsibilities :

  • Design, implement, and maintain backend services and well-documented APIs using Node.js, Python, and Rust.
  • Build APIs that integrate cleanly into third-party data pipelines, enabling our authentication capabilities to be seamlessly embedded into external workflows.
  • Establish best practices for API development, versioning, and documentation, ensuring a frictionless experience for integration partners.

Cloud Infrastructure & Integration :

  • Deploy, scale, and monitor services on GCP, utilizing Kubernetes (GKE), Cloud Functions, and virtual machines.
  • Integrate Firebase for application and user authentication across mobile, desktop, and web platforms.
  • Create high-performing cloud services in Python and Rust for intensive computational tasks, including large-scale image and video processing.
  • Use robust access, security, and verification practices to protect our platform and carefully measure and monitor third-party access.
  • Work within CI / CD pipelines, automated testing, logging, and monitoring to maintain a healthy codebase and ensure rapid iteration.
  • Qualifications :

    Technical Experience :

  • 5 years of professional backend development experience.
  • Strong proficiency in Node.js, Python, and Rust, with a proven track record of building production-grade APIs.
  • Demonstrated experience integrating third-party data pipelines and external services into complex back-end architectures.
  • Hands-on experience building services using Firebase and GCP.
  • Proficiency with authentication / authorization standards and secure coding best practices.
  • Experience with image processing and verification technologies is highly desirable.
  • Proficiency with containerization (Docker), orchestration (Kubernetes), and CI / CD pipeline management.
  • Soft Skills :

  • Excellent communication skills, capable of explaining complex technical concepts to diverse stakeholders.
  • A proactive mindset, strong problem-solving attitude, and a passion for innovation.
  • Enthusiasm for building technology that strengthens truth and trust in digital media.
  • Compensation & Benefits :

  • Competitive compensation package, including equity in a rapidly growing company within an emerging marketplace.
