Full Stack Web Developer
We're changing how people shop online.
Video Commerce emerged in 2020, and has since transformed how brands connect with consumers. Instead of static product pages, shoppers can now watch, interact, ask questions, and buy - all in real time.
Our platform combines real-time video streaming, scalable APIs, and high-performance web applications to enable live shopping, shoppable video, and video consultations used by millions of shoppers globally.
Being a Developer at Bambuser means solving hard problems at the intersection of video, commerce, and scale.
About the Role
We’re looking for an accomplished developer with experience in all aspects of building web applications to help us create the best video commerce platform on the market.
The Bambuser Research & Development department builds the world’s best video-based shopping solutions, using our pioneering in-house live video platform continuously developed over the last 17 years. We have a long legacy of quality engineering in this space.
As a Bambuser team member, you will have the opportunity to contribute at the forefront of the emerging market that is video commerce. You will have a chance to work both individually and in close collaboration with others on projects in the challenging environment of real-time live video applications. You will join a group of highly skilled engineers including top open source contributors and world-class experts in their respective fields.
Our philosophy is to build robustly, scalably, and securely for the future, emphasizing quality and practicality, without over-engineering. We ship early and often, and learn from our experiences.
What you will do
In the role of Full Stack Web Developer, you will develop, deploy, and maintain the frontend and backend of one or more of our web applications in use by millions of people worldwide.
Opportunities to show off your skills will vary across projects, and may include for example: designing the high-performance caching strategies for high-volume APIs, building React applications from scratch, or optimizing GitLab CI/CD deployment pipelines.
Who you are
You have at least 5 years working as a Full Stack Developer, Software Engineer, or similar role.
You have at least 3 years experience building, deploying, and maintaining both the frontend and backend of modern web applications.
You have at least 2 years experience working extensively in JavaScript/TypeScript code bases.
You have strong problem-solving skills and the ability to debug complex issues effectively.
You have a solid understanding of the uses and limitations of the standard building blocks of web services, e.g. REST, databases (relational and document), caches, message queues, serverless/server-based, transfer protocols, etc.
You have a strongly rooted security mindset and the proclivity to build securely by default.
You have experience collaborating with other developers in shared code bases, acting as a reviewer for others as well as having the ability to structure and explain your own code changes concisely.
You have a proven ability to plan, execute, and complete development projects, both independently and in collaboration with others.
You know when it's the right time to accept technical debt and when it's time to pay it off.

About the Team
We work in small, cross-functional pods - a couple developers, a product owner, a designer, and a data engineer. Each pod is focused on a strategic bet. Your pod owns the problem: what to build, how to build it, and what to prioritize.
If you thrive when given ownership and room to move, this might be exactly that.
