Background relevant to this role
Currently, we serve over a few billion images and videos daily, have multiple servers
running in 6 regions globally, with sustained request rates round-the-clock because of
our customers spread across the globe. We also manage several terabytes of image
storage through our digital asset management tool called the Media library.
We are continuously evolving to improve our systems’ stability, performance and
security. Additionally, we have tons of features to be added to the existing product and
are also working on video optimization and delivery (already available in beta) and
adding more collaboration and AI-powered workflows in the Media Library, with the aim
to make ImageKit the best media management and delivery product globally.
We are looking for passionate full-stack developers with not just good technical skills,
but also a good sense of making user-friendly products, to join our technology team. If
you are someone who gets excited about solving large-scale engineering problems,
wants to build industry-first features, and wants to be a part of a fast-growing Indian
SaaS startup, let's have a word.
Problems you will be working on at ImageKit
1. Video delivery and optimization - We are gradually moving from just images to
videos as well, helping companies simplify video delivery across devices. We
have launched a beta version with real-time processing, and need to improve a
a lot there.
2. Media management - A central place to upload, search and collaborate on all
images and videos that you see on a company's website. This would involve
building a product to store, manage, and collaborate on several TBs of digital
assets and multiple users in an organization.
3. Building for scale - We already serve over a few billion images every day and this
the number is growing rapidly. How do you handle sudden traffic surges, for complex
and CPU-intensive media processing to serve optimized content in real-time?

websites for things as critical as product images on an e-commerce website. Our
services need to remain up for our customers regardless of what happens in the
background.

product on production servers.
9. Willing to work autonomously and remotely.
Requirements
1. Should have excellent problem-solving skills with the ability to break down a
large problem or system into smaller components and prioritize the design &
development work.

source projects, a small website or side hustle that they run on their own, etc.)
