## Job description

What is Kick?

Kick is a global live-streaming platform for all types of entertainment content. Our mission is to empower content creators, event organisers, and content rights holders by providing them with the tools and revenue-sharing structures they need to monetise and grow their audiences.

As a result, we are quickly becoming a household name, attracting top-tier creators and expanding rapidly worldwide. You may have seen us in the UFC octagon or on the side of an F1 car, as we seize every opportunity that comes our way.

Kick is now recognised in the big four of live streaming platforms globally, standing tall alongside YouTube, TikTok, and Twitch. In 3 years, we’ve already made a significant impact and have plenty more to achieve. We’re at the beginning of an exciting journey and are looking for brilliant minds to join us.

Engineering at Kick

Joining Kick at this point in our journey is a unique, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We’re rapidly scaling and establishing ourselves globally while simultaneously innovating and pushing the limits of our industry. That means we’re part scale-up, part start-up. Kick is taking on the global players in the live-streaming industry and making an impact.

As an engineer working at Kick, you will be given interesting and challenging engineering problems to solve, have ultimate ownership of your work, and be responsible for a product used by millions of people every day. There will be greenfield opportunities for new services, as well as scale-up and stabilisation opportunities for our established services. Everything you build will be used by millions of people the day you deploy it.

Within our engineering organisation, we foster a continuous learning environment, constantly pushing the boundaries of large-scale software design and development. Our culture revolves around fostering growth, nurturing learning, and upholding excellence in engineering, ensuring we consistently set the benchmark for engineering mastery.

- Collaborate with stakeholders, product managers, and engineering teams to effectively communicate technical concepts.
- Innovate within the team by pushing for improvements and driving constructive changes to enhance team performance and efficiency.
- Provide technical guidance and mentor junior engineers in the team.

Minimum Qualifications:

- Proficiency in multiple programming languages and frameworks relevant to the role (Go, PHP).
- Strong understanding of code architecture and design principles.
- Excellent communication skills for effective collaboration across teams and stakeholders
- Positive attitude and eagerness to learn new technologies to grow as a full-stack engineer.

- Exposure to building global, large-scale volume products which operate at thousands per second frequency.
