We seek a highly motivated Full-Stack Software Engineer with at least 4 years of experience in web development. You will have strong proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript and extensive experience building modern frontend applications using React as well as backend services with Node.js. Experience with Elixir is a valuable plus. A solid understanding of real-time communication technologies such as WebSockets or pub/sub architectures is essential to succeed in this role.
Fluency in English is required to facilitate seamless communication within our distributed team. You should be culturally aligned with the Twitch streaming community—meaning you actively follow Twitch streamers, enjoy gaming culture, or have experience tinkering with streaming tools or bots. Your passion for live streaming and gaming will allow you to thrive and contribute meaningfully to our mission.
Additional experience that would make you stand out includes direct work with the Twitch API, developing Discord bots, or creating overlays for broadcast software like OBS. Background involvement in gaming or streaming-related projects is highly welcome. Familiarity with SQL databases, Kysely query builder, or Phoenix Channels for Elixir will also be advantageous.
Joining Gyld means contributing to a cutting-edge product that is loved by thousands of engaged live stream viewers and streamers alike. We offer a flexible remote working environment aligned with US Mountain Time to accommodate our team’s needs. Our contractor compensation is competitive for the LATAM market, at approximately $40,000 USD per year. As an early-stage startup, you will have significant opportunities for professional growth, impact, and the chance to influence the company’s product and engineering direction.
