Role Description

We are seeking a Senior Full Stack Developer to join our on-site team in Greater Orlando for a full-time position. In this role, you will

own meaningful slices of the platform end to end, from React and Next.js user flows, to backend services and serverless functions, to GPU enabled video processing and inference, to data modeling and observability. This is not a “just frontend” or “just backend” role, it’s a builder role with real ownership in a system that touches streaming, computer vision, and time series analytics.

The kind of builder we’re looking for

You build what needs building. You’ve shipped something real, maybe on your own, maybe at a company no one’s heard of, and you know what it takes to get from idea to working product. You understand product ecosystems, not just code, and you care about activation and retention, you instrument and iterate, and you can talk to customers without breaking into hives. You don’t need permission to fix things, you just fix them, and you communicate clearly while you do it.

What you will do

• Build and improve core product flows in our web app, projects, uploads, face labeling, search, timelines, permissions, and admin
• Design and implement backend APIs and serverless functions that handle video ingest, job orchestration, and results delivery
• Build and operate our video pipeline, stream ingest, decode, frame extraction, segmenting, timestamps, and synchronization
• Own GPU inference workloads end to end, containerized workers, batching, throughput tuning, memory management, model lifecycle, and failure handling
• Build event driven systems using queues and messaging, retries, idempotency, dead letter handling, backpressure, and replay strategies
• Model data in PostgreSQL for identity, embeddings, emotion events, and time based queries, optimize for scale and cost
• Improve observability, logging, metrics, tracing, dashboards, and alerts that actually help during incidents
• Partner with product and customers to validate assumptions, understand what matters, and iterate fast
• Spot broken or missing pieces and fix them without waiting for permission, including internal tooling and developer experience improvements

What success looks like in the first 60 to 90 days

• You can run the platform locally, understand the full request path from UI to worker to database, and confidently ship changes
• You ship at least one end to end feature, including UI, API, worker logic, and tests
• You improve reliability of a key pipeline step, dropped frames, retry behavior, identity consistency, queue handling, or deployment stability
• You introduce at least one measurable improvement, performance, cost, observability, or conversion and engagement instrumentation

Required experience

• Strong TypeScript across frontend and backend, and comfort in a modern React and Next.js stack
• Production experience with PostgreSQL, schema design, indexes, query performance, migrations
• Video streaming and media systems experience

,

including several of: RTSP, WebRTC, FFmpeg, MediaMTX, GStreamer, or equivalent

• GPU workloads experience in production, including several of: CUDA environments, containerized GPU workers, model serving, batching, memory management, throughput tuning, and performance profiling
• Experience building event driven systems, queues, background jobs, retries, idempotency, and failure modes
• Comfort shipping containerized services, Docker, and modern deployment workflows
• Practical testing habits, unit tests, integration tests, and a bias toward maintainable code
• Strong product instincts, you think in user outcomes, you can instrument, measure, and iterate
• Customer comfort, you can join calls, ask good questions, and turn feedback into shipped improvements

Nice to have

• Deep computer vision familiarity, embeddings, tracking, clustering, identity reconciliation, and evaluation approaches
• Azure experience, Functions, Service Bus, Container Apps, AKS, Key Vault, or similar
• Observability stack experience, OpenTelemetry, Grafana, Prometheus, Loki, Sentry
• Security minded development, encryption at rest, secrets handling, audit logs, privacy by design
• On prem deployment experience, constrained networks, edge hardware variability, and ops runbooks

What we value in how you work

• You ship, then iterate, you avoid over engineering but you don’t cut corners that create instability
• You write code that other people can safely build on
• You are calm and systematic when production issues happen
• You care about user trust, privacy, and correctness, especially in identity and emotion related analytics
• You see gaps, you close them, and you communicate clearly while doing it

Benefits

• Comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, vision, life insurance, sick time, STD, LTD, vacation time, and paid holidays.
