Software Developer

Description

**About the role** Vancast is a private streaming platform where organisations create and host live and on\-demand events — more than 7,000 of them to date. The platform is considerably bigger than the team: over twenty services, a decade of history, and real broadcasts that start at a fixed time and cannot be moved when something breaks. The role itself is broad and hands\-on. You would ship features end to end, from the interface through to the services behind it and out to production. We do not split front\-end from back\-end between people. You would work on new product features and on the platform work that keeps the codebase healthy. It is one large monorepo — more than twenty deployable services and applications, actively developed and shipped — so you would work across most of it rather than being boxed into one corner. What working on a small team actually means here: * Your work reaches production in days, not quarters. * Nobody assigns you tickets each morning. * You review everyone's code, and everyone reviews yours. * You design your own implementations — take a fuzzy need, decide what it should become, specify it, then build it. * There is no design function, so you design the interface too. If you prefer well\-specified tickets and a senior developer to check your work, this role will frustrate you. If you would rather be handed an ambiguous problem and come back with a proposal, it will not. We are a small engineering team, and you would be a big part of it. **Requirements** * **TypeScript and modern JavaScript** — neither should be a learning project. * **Node back\-end development** — REST APIs, request lifecycle, authentication and authorisation as everyday work rather than unfamiliar territory. * **Depth in a component\-based front\-end framework.** Angular, React and Vue all count. We use Angular, but we care how you reason about component design, state and reactivity — not which syntax you already know. * **Relational databases and an ORM.** We use MySQL and Sequelize; equivalent experience transfers. * **Comfortable in a large codebase you did not write.** A lot of what you work on will already exist. * **Writes clean, maintainable code — including the code AI helps you write.** We use AI tooling and expect you to get real leverage from it. You still own everything you commit: reviewed, understood, and held to the same standard as anything you wrote by hand. * **Able to design a usable interface unaided.** Not visual polish — a screen someone can use without being shown how. * **Clear written English.** Our code, commits, tickets and documentation are in English, and most of our coordination is written. * **Genuinely self\-directed.** Unblocking yourself, choosing what comes next, making a call on a trade\-off and being able to say what it cost. **Nice to have** None of these are required. All of them are worth something. * AWS in depth — ECS, Lambda, CloudFront, S3, Step Functions. * Live video and streaming — HLS, MediaLive, MediaPackage, MediaConvert, CDN and eCDN delivery. * Angular and NgRx specifically. * NestJS and Sequelize. * Real\-time systems — websockets, server\-sent events, Redis, reconnection and ordering. * NX monorepos and GitLab CI. * Policy\-based authorisation. **The setup** * **Barcelona.** Remote\-first, ideally one or two days a week together in person to begin with — flexible, and not a hard requirement. * **Full time**, contrato indefinido. 9–6 as standard, flexible in practice. * **€40\.000–45\.000 gross annual**, depending on experience.
