Backend Engineer

Trust In SODA
London
We are partnering with a high-growth, early-stage technology studio that is redefining how users collaborate and create in the generative media space. Backed by a top-tier European VC and several iconic Silicon Valley tech pioneers , they have reached significant scale—surpassing 1 million user-generated assets within months of their initial launch.

The Mission
As a core member of the founding engineering team, you will be responsible for maturing the infrastructure as the platform scales from its successful pilot phase to millions of global users.

The Ideal Profile
  • Core Backend Focus: You are an expert in the Node.js/TypeScript ecosystem with a deep understanding of server-side architecture.
  • Database Specialist: You have a "first-principles" approach to SQL, schema normalization, and complex data migrations.
  • Systems Engineer: You have a natural instinct for identifying failure modes and optimizing performance in media-heavy environments.
  • Founding Mindset: You thrive in a "ship-fast" environment. You value high autonomy and the opportunity to work in a high-intensity, in-person collaborative studio.
The Setup
  • Location: Central London (Fully on-site).
  • Package: Significant founding-team equity Competitive salary.
  • Culture: A low-ego, talent-dense team building a product with massive global engagement.
  • Benefits: Premium health coverage, gym membership, and on-site meal options.
Your core focuses will include:
  • Data Architecture: Leading the transition from a non-relational database to a robust relational schema, managing the migration strategy and data integrity end-to-end.
  • Transaction Reliability: Engineering a bulletproof payments and subscription backbone to manage global revenue and entitlements.
  • High-Performance Pipelines: Building and optimizing delivery systems for heavy-duty media, focusing on low-latency streaming and global CDN performance.
  • Collaborative Primitives: Developing the backend logic for real-time, "multiplayer" user experiences across all platforms.
  • Operational Standards: Establishing a culture of "production excellence" through resilient CI/CD, structured observability, and sophisticated deployment workflows.
