Live-streaming is one of the fastest growing forms of entertainment. Twitch alone has 15 million daily active users and over 350 BILLION minutes of content watched in 2017 alone. And with nearly 3 million unique streamers (and growing), there’s a TON of content waiting to be discovered. Finding the content you want is time consuming and can be frustrating.
That’s where StreamKick comes in. We’re a live-streaming discovery platform where real-time viewer feedback is used to recommend new content on demand.
OUR TECHNOLOGY
Our tech stack includes Ruby on Rails, PostgresSQL, Zurb, and JS, all deployed to AWS. We’re also really into Sidekiq, Redis, and Docker right now.
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
StreamKick has come a long way, and we need development talent to get us across the finish line - specifically a back-end or full-stack developer. If live-streaming, gaming, or esports excites you, we're at the intersection of it all. Our entire team is remote, and we hold each other accountable. But we pride ourselves on being flexible and understanding that real life happens.
You're a fit if you have/are:
- Experience with the above tools/languages
- Experience building and scaling back-end systems
- Self-motivated (this is a startup!)
- Possess an interest / understanding of live-streaming and video games (no - Super Mario Bros. doesn't count)
If this sounds like you we’d love to get to know you better. You can find us at:
At StreamKick we're building the best way for viewers to find and connect with live-streamers and content creators. Whether it's Twitch, Mixer, YouTube, or Facebook, our aim is to take the friction out of discovery and help build meaningful gaming communities the world over.
If live-streaming, gaming, or esports excites you, we're smack in the middle of it all. We're looking for a full-stack developer to join us as a co-founder, sail across the launch line, and join us as we create a new segment in this industry.
What you'll do:
- Join our team in a technical and product leadership role
- Work with a tech stack that includes Rails, PostgresSQL, AWS, Zurb, and JS
- Architect efficient and creative solutions to scale our back-end systems
- Develop and refine a recommendation algorithm using user defined variables and external data sources
- Integrate core components from industry leading streaming platforms' APIs (Twitch, Mixer, YouTube, Facebook, etc.)
- Work in tandem with our front-end dev/designer to bring the back-end to the viewer
- Deploy your own code
- Operate freely and on your own schedule within a defined product roadmap
What you should have:
- Experience building and scaling back-end systems
- Self-motivation - this is a start-up
- At least a passing interest / understanding of live-streaming and video games (no - Super Mario Bros. doesn't count)
Bonus points
- Experience with Angular JS
- Experience with React JS
- Experience in an after-hours, remote start-up environment
