THE ROLE

As a Senior Full-Stack Engineer on the Media Team, you will be responsible for the cloud services that power Solink's media pipeline: ingesting, processing, storing, and serving media data at scale for over 36,000 customer locations. You'll work deep in AWS-native infrastructure, building services that are cost-efficient, observable, and resilient under real-world load.

This role is ideal for a senior backend or full-stack engineer who thinks in terms of throughput, latency, and cost per gigabyte as much as they think in code; someone who is comfortable owning a service from design through production operation, and who treats reliability and resource efficiency as first-class design constraints rather than afterthoughts.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Design, build, and operate backend services that handle media ingestion, processing, storage, and retrieval at scale.
• Work extensively with core AWS services (SQS, S3, Lambda, and related managed services) to build event-driven, loosely coupled pipelines.
• Leverage AI tools effectively throughout the development lifecycle, from planning, design, implementation to operation, debugging and observability.
• Design and evolve media platform APIs and contracts for multiple internal, as well as external consumers with contract and end-to-end tests.
