Stream uses Go for our chat API, moderation API, and Video SFU. We power chat for many large apps, including Strava, Nextdoor, Patreon, IBM, Adobe, and Midjourney. In addition to Go, we use CockroachDB/Postgres, RocksDB, Raft, and Redis.
We are looking for a Full-Stack Engineer to join our Moderation Team. Moderation touches all areas of product development—from databases and APIs to front-end user experience.
We seek someone who enjoys building features/products end-to-end, from architecting backend systems to crafting intuitive user experiences.
Hybrid policy: applicants based in the Netherlands or relocating here, are expected to work in the office in Amsterdam 3 times per week. Exemptions may apply to specific cases.
While you won't need to build large frontend systems (we have a dedicated team for that), you should be able to understand the frontend stack and implement changes. With the recent introduction of the DSA and AI Act, moderation has become one of our highest priorities. You'll be joining a team that operates with peak efficiency and rapid development cycles.
We'll train you in Go if you're experienced with a different tech stack through our 10-week internal onboarding program focused on Go, scalability, and more. We value solid engineering experience and motivation to learn more than prior language expertise. We offer relocation and visa sponsorship for you to join us in the Amsterdam Office.
Hybrid policy: applicants based in the Netherlands (if living within 60km of the office), are expected to work in the office in Amsterdam 3 times per week. Exemptions may apply to specific cases.
