About the role: We're building a greenfield high-load media platform from scratch, allowing you to shape the architecture, choose the technology stack, and make key engineering decisions from the very beginning. This isn't about maintaining legacy systems—it's about designing and delivering scalable solutions that will evolve from PoC into production

You'll tackle complex engineering challenges around WebRTC, low-latency streaming, SFU/TURN infrastructure, and scaling the platform to 300,000 concurrent connections and 3M+ requests per second. As part of a small, highly skilled team, you'll have real ownership, fast decision-making, and the chance to build rare, highly valued expertise while making a visible impact on the product

In this role, you will

  • Design and build the infrastructure for a greenfield streaming/WebRTC platform, ensuring scalability, low latency, and high availability

  • Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines and deployment strategies to support fast and reliable releases

  • Manage cloud infrastructure and Kubernetes clusters using Infrastructure as Code tools

  • Implement autoscaling, performance optimization, and load testing to ensure the platform can handle high traffic and peak loads

  • Build and improve the platform's observability by implementing monitoring, logging, tracing, and alerting solutions

  • Optimize infrastructure for performance, reliability, security, and cost efficiency

  • Collaborate closely with backend engineers and product teams, contributing to architectural decisions and the evolution of the platform

It’s all about you

  • 3+ years of experience as a DevOps Engineer in production environments

  • Experience designing and building high-load infrastructure from scratch

  • Hands-on experience with streaming, WebRTC, or social/multimedia products

  • Production experience with Kubernetes, including scaling, autoscaling, and troubleshooting

  • Expertise in Infrastructure as Code using Terraform and/or Ansible

  • Experience with AWS, including compute, networking, and managed services

  • Experience building CI/CD pipelines using GitLab CI or GitHub Actions, along with GitOps tools such as ArgoCD and Helm

  • Knowledge of observability tools, including Prometheus, Grafana, logging, and distributed tracing

  • Strong networking fundamentals, including UDP, RTP/RTCP, low-latency networking, and TURN/STUN (coturn)

  • Experience with load testing and performance optimization for high-traffic production systems

Would be a plus

  • Experience with media servers, such as mediasoup, LiveKit, Janus, or Jitsi
  • Experience optimizing bandwidth-heavy streaming platforms and improving infrastructure cost efficiency
  • Proficiency in scripting with Python, Go, or Bash
