Technical Lead

Role & responsibilities

Product & Architecture Leadership

• Technical Roadmap: Partner with the Group Product Manager to turn ambitious ideas (like AI-

generated video) into stable, scalable features. Own the end-to-end video lifecycle. Eg: resilient

uploads (multipart/tus), server-side transcoding (FFmpeg/Elastic Transcoder), HLS/DASH

packaging, and CDN optimization (CloudFront/Akamai) for low-latency playback across varying

network conditions.

• System Design: Own the "big picture" architecture. You'll ensure our mobile app, backend, and

database talk to each other seamlessly.

• Performance First: Be obsessed with speed. Whether it's how fast a video starts playing or how

quickly the app opens, you set the gold standard for user experience.

2. Innovation: Video & AI

• Inference at Scale: Collaborate with AI partners to integrate Generative AI (Prompt-to-Video,

Image-to-Video) into the user workflow

• Seamless Streaming: Build a world-class video engine that handles everything from high-quality

uploads to smooth, buffer-free playback for a global audience.

• Safety at Scale: Implement smart, automated moderation tools to keep the community safe and

high-quality.

• Pipeline Optimization: Build scalable wrappers around AI models to handle heavy inference

loads, ensuring that AI-generated captions and moderation filters don't create bottlenecks in

the content publishing flow.

3. Scalable Backend & analytical services:

• Design robust systems to manage complex, real-time tasks like social feeds and notifications

using a modern, event-driven backend.

• Strategic Data Design: Oversee a diverse database strategy (SQL and NoSQL) to securely

manage everything from user profiles to high-volume social activity and content graphs.
