Who are we, and why are we hiring?
At Kodify, we love tech and are always thinking about what’s next! R&D and optimizations are part of our spirit. We work hard on consistently maintaining the highest level of professionalism. We work with some of the top professionals in the world, shoot with the latest lighting and the best gear, like the ALEXA Mini and Prime Lens, and hold ourselves to the highest standards. Our brands are constantly expanding. We’re leading the industry in artful storytelling, capturing the cleanest high-end imagery.
The video streaming industry has been growing a lot since last year and as a result, we need to expand our team to release the great ideas we’ve in mind.
What will you do?
You’ll help to evolve a platform that supports close to 100M unique visitors a month. Improving areas such as:
- Reliability
- Platform observability (SLIs, SLOs, SLAs)
- Security, and risk management
- Performance and automation of production, staging and development environments.
You’ll mainly do it inside the Node.js ecosystem, JavaScript mostly but TypeScript adoption is growing in the company.
What we expect from you the first 1, 3, 6 months
After 1 month
You are familiar with all the team members and participate in some discussions about the product and features. You can navigate across the development environment and have a clear understanding of the architecture.
After 3 months
Peer programming is now part of your life and you gained independence while the initial work you’ve done started to bring value to the product. You’ve started to familiarize yourself with Grafana and are becoming accustomed to working with PromQL.
After 6 months
At this point you share your opinions with the rest of the members of your teams without a problem and the gap in terms of internal tooling experience is not a problem anymore. You’ve deployed to production many times and probably improved a few steps of the process.
How will you do it?
You’ll be joining a team at the very early stages, so you’ll be part of the process's decision and constantly work with the dev teams and the sys team to coordinate.
- You’ll do coding in JavaScript and TypeScript.
- Be very familiar with the Node.js ecosystem in terms of profiling and debugging tools.
- You’re very comfortable with Unix tools, net-tools, and bind-utils are part of the family.
- Testing is critical for you and us, as we used to lack in that area in the past and suffered the consequences.
- You will know about containers, BuildKit, and Docker.
- Working with others. You’ll work with people with years of experience on that tooling and will support you and assist you at any time.
