Stream | Amsterdam (NL), Skopje (North Macedonia)| Remote possible | Full Time | Visa Sponsorship

We power real-time Chat, Video, Activity Feeds, and AI Moderation for apps like Strava, Bumble, eBay, and Patreon - billions of API requests per month, millions of concurrent users.

We're looking for a hands-on Lead Engineer (Staff / Principal level) to own Platform & Infrastructure.

Reports directly to the CTO.

Small, senior team - you'll write code most of the time, not run a process org. First 6 months focus on three things with measurable outcomes:

* Cloud cost optimization (AWS/GCP) — tooling and guardrails, not reports

* Platform reliability and scalability — SLOs, observability, hardening

* Architecture decisions on Kubernetes, databases, and cloud provider strategy

Stack: Go, Python, AWS, GCP, Kubernetes, PostgreSQL, CockroachDB, Redis, Terraform.

Looking for: software engineering background (Go or Python, not scripting-only), production cloud cost optimization experience, real distributed systems depth, and active AI tooling use in your engineering workflow.

Not a fit if: you're security/compliance-heavy, scripting-only, or dependent on large-org support structures.
