Brooklyn, NY

Senior Software Engineer (Live)

Our platform spans between asynchronous discussions and fully synchronous live experiences. We're looking for a full-stack Senior Software Engineer (Live) to join our live team at Circle to help build the future of Circle's live streaming roadmap.

You'll be primarily working in a full-stack environment with Ruby on Rails and React, while building on top of WebRTC/HLS APIs from external infrastructure providers. While experience with WebRTC/HLS is ideal, this is not a requirement for strong full-stack engineers with the willingness to learn.

This is a 100% remote role. We're now a fully remote team of 40 (and growing!) based in the U.S., Colombia, Portugal, India, Argentina, Slovenia, and other countries. We have a preference for candidates in U.S. and European timezones.

Responsibilities

  • Work on executing Circle's roadmap for live experiences (streams, rooms, events, etc)
  • Ship often and ship with care
  • Improve the quality of our codebase and identify architectural deficiencies in your product area
  • Engage in considerate, but robust, PR reviews with Circle's engineers
  • Work closely with Circle's co-founders and designers throughout the feature spec + design process

Who we're looking for

  • Significant experience working with Ruby on Rails and general familiarity with React
  • Experience working with complex user interfaces and API design
  • Strong judgement and attention to detail when it comes to architectural, product, design, and process decisions. Your judgement should inspire a high level of trust within the team.
  • A desire to work in an environment which values speed of iteration and individual autonomy
  • (Ideal) 1-2 years of experience working on WebRTC-related technologies (i.e. Agora, Twilio, Daily.co, etc)
