Position Snapshot

We’re looking for a Full‑Stack Engineer who thrives in real‑time systems. You’ll work hands‑on with React + Node/Express + WebRTC, shaping responsive, scalable apps that bring live video, audio, and interactive features to thousands of users.

What You’ll Do

- Engineer real‑time React apps with WebRTC‑based audio/video (from peer‑to‑peer to large‑group sessions).

- Develop APIs and backend services with Node/Express.

- Architect and integrate data flows that keep thousands of concurrent learners in sync.

- Optimize latency & stability by implementing algorithms for audio/video synchronization, state management, and reconnection handling.

- Build developer‑friendly APIs for integrating real‑time features into our products.

- Build responsive, user‑friendly interfaces in close collaboration with UI/UX designers.

- Ensure code quality through unit testing, debugging, performance monitoring, and documentation.

- Collaborate daily with product & UX in an Agile environment (stand‑ups, reviews, planning).

- Deploy, monitor, and scale cloud‑based services (GCP preferred), ensuring reliability at production scale.

What You Bring

- 5+ years of full‑stack development experience.

- React (state management, real‑time interactions, WebSocket integration, and live user experiences).

- Node/Express for backend APIs & services.

- WebRTC (hands‑on experience building peer‑to‑peer and group sessions).

- Solid grasp of real‑time application design, synchronization, and scaling.

- Git, testing, debugging, and Agile teamwork experience.

- Collaborative mindset and ability to communicate clearly in a fast‑paced, remote team.

Bonus Points

- Unity or WebGL exposure.

- Cloud certifications (GCP, AWS, or similar).

Why This Role?

You’ll directly influence architecture and product decisions as we scale to tens of thousands of users globally. This is an opportunity to shape real‑time, low‑latency experiences at scale in a dynamic team building solutions for education, innovation, and community impact.

Why join our team?

- Mission with impact: Your code directly shapes how students and professionals learn in the metaverse.

- Autonomy & growth: Own your work, influence architecture, and grow with us, there’s no ceiling here.

- Trust, not micromanagement: We hire smart people and give them the freedom to do their best work.

- Challenging problems: Tackle real‑time, low‑latency engineering challenges at scale, not just another CRUD app.

- Engineering culture: We value clean code, thoughtful design, and collaboration (not endless red tape).

- Remote‑first & flexible: Work from anywhere, with trust and balance.

- Inclusive team: Join a diverse, supportive environment where your voice truly matters.
