Job Description

We are looking for a software engineer to join our development team as backend software engineer. Job duties will include working on Stream's core API technology, design and build high performance software.

What you’ll be doing

While driven by ambitious visions we execute with great pragmatism.

Building stable and reliable software is not just an option; as a member of the development team you will design and write state of the art software, follow best-practices, measure everything and be responsible for its deployment to production. You will also spend part of your time talking to our customers and help them to use Stream in their app.
