Backend and Platform Tech Lead

You're already burning through tokens and using AI coding agents daily to move faster.

Distributed-Systems Master:

10+ years building and operating large-scale live streaming or gaming services, with real depth in real-time architecture: high concurrency, low latency, eventual consistency, horizontal scaling, and fault tolerance.

Battle-Tested at Scale:

You've owned the full architecture of live streaming or gaming systems serving large, spike-driven user bases, and you've led the response when one of them broke in production.

You've set technical direction adopted across multiple teams or titles, not just inside one team.

We're doing an AI-first engineering rebuild for a company that already has an audience of 100M+ people.

You're here to create live streaming and gaming experiences that set a new bar for the industry, built from the ground up for the Beast community.

You'll define the backend, live, and game tech stacks, design for scale and performance at peak load, and own the reliability and infrastructure cost decisions that matter most.

Design the live and game service architecture and drive feature development using AI coding tools, shipping at a velocity that redefines what a small engineering team can deliver.

Own the path to production: drive systems from development through deployment, leveraging AI-facilitated QA and SRE processes and tooling to maintain the highest engineering quality at scale.

Oversee the team's backend services across security, reliability, and infrastructure cost, and maintain relationships with third-party service providers.
