Responsibilities

Building new features from scratch (fan CRM systems, peer-to-peer payments, automated clipping engines). You’ll ship complete products
You’ll own infrastructure and reliability as we scale to hundreds of thousands of concurrent users. This means implementing CI/CD, monitoring, and deployment systems that let us move fast without breaking things
You’ll architect real-time systems - websockets for live queues, payment processing for fan submissions … aka infrastructure I think is interesting to build (and you should too!)
