Job Description

### **Picture This:**

A brand new era of workflow for visual storytelling is being born by way of
the cloud and machine learning. For decades, creative storytellers have been
using workflows that are traditionally a manual process. Strada aims to change
that by ushering manual processes into advanced automation so storytellers
across every market segment can leverage the biggest advancement in content
creation technology since the Internet. Strada is an AI powered cloud platform
that automates, simplifies, and speeds up tasks required to create content.
Early adopters of Strada are going to need help as they stretch themselves to
deploy an entirely new way of working. You are the person who wants to empower
them with insight, knowledge, and experience so they can create their content
in a way that is faster, flexible, and fun.

### **Who Are We?**

Brothers Michael and Peter Cioni recently left their roles at Adobe and
Netflix to launch their second startup together. They are seasoned pioneers in
the emerging entertainment technology space.

What we are building is not your average company – we're assembling a dynamic
team of “technatives'' united by a shared belief in the transformative power
of artificial intelligence and workflow automation for content creators.
Imagine a workplace where the worlds of media and technology collide, where
imagination knows no limits, and where every day brings new opportunities to
make a lasting impact. With your help we are going to reinvent the creative
process with an entirely new way of working in the cloud and leveraging AI to
drastically accelerate, enhance, and improve user workflows.

### Who You Are:

You are a talented engineer, but maybe you’ve only just dabbled in Rust. You
understand the fundamentals of distributed systems and web development - but
maybe you haven’t built an application from scratch or worked on giant
production projects.

Ultimately, you are an engineer and learning is what you do. You are excited
about a challenge, you like Rust as a language, and you are ready to build
something huge!

### What You'll Do:

* Write, design, and test API’s (both RESTful and graphQL)

* Design SQL and No-SQL database schemas for various features

* Utilize numerous technologies such as NATS, OpenSearch, and Postgres when building a feature to provide an optimized user experience

* Make trade-off decisions to balance the speed of development, the performance requirements of the feature, and the future scalability

* Be a key contributor in establishing consistent and reusable patterns as apart of feature development

### What You'll Need:

* 3+ years of relevant engineering experience at tech and product-driven companies

* Excellent with standard git, devops, and agile engineering practices

* Experience with backend, async, fault-tolerant, and server-side applications.

* Excellent with backend API design both REST and GraphQL

* Proficiency with relational databases like Postgres/MySQL including design, tuning, and safety

* Proficiency with No-SQL Databases such as Redis/Cassandra/Neo4j

* Ability to move fast in an environment where things are sometimes loosely defined and may have competing priorities or deadlines
