Lead Full Stack Engineer

Imagine this: you’re standing at the edge of a mist-covered lake. Early morning. Perfect stillness. In your hand, a single stone. You throw it. It skips, once, twice, and the ripples begin.

Now, imagine that moment captured in a five-second video. How much is happening in that short clip? The subtle mechanics of the throw. The splash of the stone. The light piercing through the fog. The silence, the tension, the mood. Now, imagine labeling all of that in real time. Not just recognizing objects or sounds, but truly understanding the story, the context, the feeling. Now imagine being the person building the systems that can do exactly that.

You are that engineer. Not just a Lead Full-Stack Developer, but someone who sees engineering as storytelling. You understand that the future of video isn't metadata, it’s meaning. Machines that don’t just "see" or "hear," but understand: through visuals, through audio. They might not feel this scene in the way that we do, but they can certainly label it all much faster.

You lead with calm in the midst of complexity. You’ve seen scale done right, and you’ve seen what happens when it’s not. You bring clarity when things are messy, and EQ when things get tense. You might’ve led a team through the chaos of an early-stage startup, or maybe you're ready for that raw energy now.

You’re fluent in Python and TypeScript. You’re comfortable in the world of AWS, Docker, and Kubernetes. You’ve either worked with AI or video tech, or you’re deeply curious to dive in. You care about architecture, but also about people. You guide, you mentor, you inspire. You don’t manage for control, you lead for clarity and shared purpose.

Here, you’ll lead the full development lifecycle. You’ll shape the stack. Design the systems. Guide the team. And build the backbone of a platform where intelligent agents don’t just tag video, they bring it to life. The foundations are solid. The funding is secured. The clients are real. The vision is bold. What’s missing is you, the one who brings it all together.

So why now? Because this is that quiet moment before everything moves. The calm before momentum. And what you do next could shape it all.
