Build the future of how people watch, discover and shop...
Imagine a world where the moments that inspire you on screen don’t stop at the credits. We’re building technology that bridges entertainment, culture, and commerce—helping people instantly discover and shop what they see in their favourite shows and movies.
I am working with an exciting company who are using cutting-edge computer vision and seamless native checkout, their platform identifies on-screen items and surfaces comparable options at multiple price points. The result? A frictionless way for viewers to connect with the culture they love and a powerful new channel for media and commerce.
They design and ship premium products across the entire journey: from developer-first APIs integrated with some of the largest media platforms in the world, to beautifully crafted consumer experiences used by millions of viewers.
Backed by top-tier investors and media partners, they are an early-stage team with big ambition and they are just getting started!
The Role: Senior Full Stack (Front End) Engineer
I'm looking for a standout engineer to join their core team in a high-ownership, high-impact role. You’ll help shape both the architecture and the product, building elegant, high-performance user experiences while contributing to the backend systems that power them.
This is not a narrow role. You’ll influence UX decisions, build developer-friendly SDKs and ensure they interfaces, APIs, and pipelines work together seamlessly. If you thrive in early-stage environments where your work ships fast and matters immediately, this role is for you.
What you will do...
Build and maintain polished, scalable frontend interfaces and full-stack features
Own features end-to-end—from concept and technical design through launch
Create intuitive SDKs, UI components, and integration tools for external developers
Collaborate closely with designers, founders, customers, and fellow engineers
Contribute to backend services and APIs (Node.js or similar)
Design clean, well-documented API contracts that make integration effortless
Champion performance, accessibility, and maintainability across the stack
Wear many hats and help define how the engineering team operates as we grow
What they are looking for...
3+ years of professional software engineering experience, ideally full-stack
Strong skills in JavaScript/TypeScript, HTML, and CSS
Solid experience with modern frontend frameworks (React preferred)
Backend experience with Node.js, Express, or similar frameworks
Experience building SDKs, component libraries, or developer-focused tools
Familiarity with data-heavy applications and sound system design
Experience with state management libraries and frontend testing frameworks
Comfort with modern build tools and cloud deployments (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
Strong product instincts, design sensibility, and attention to detail
Nice to haves...
Passion for entertainment, media, or e-commerce
Experience with LLMs or prompt-driven interfaces
Interest in mentoring and shaping an early engineering team
Experience with animations, Web Components, or rendering optimizations
Why Join?
You’ll work alongside a driven, talented team, learn fast, and help redefine how people experience media and shopping—backed by strong partnerships and serious momentum. If you’re excited by ownership, creativity, and building something genuinely new, we’d love to hear from you.
