Senior React Full Stack Engineer

About the Company

VideoFire is a media company leveraging AI to accelerate content production for TikTok and YouTube—combining the speed of Twitter with the depth of CNN.

We’re recently backed by pre-seed funding from South Park Commons and founded by a 4x serial entrepreneur, whose most recent exit was Datastreamer in 2023.

About the Role

We're looking for a highly capable full-stack engineer with a strong command of modern React and Node.js. You’ll be responsible for architecting, developing, and maintaining user-facing features and backend APIs. You should be comfortable owning features end-to-end, writing clean, testable code, and making pragmatic technical decisions.

Writing quality, tested code and actually having an understanding of the key working parts are important.

No engineers who are 100% vibe coders. You must be able to code and be deeply opinionated on the subject.

Compensation

We want candidates to be very motivated and offer top compensation. Since we’re a remote company we adjust the salary depending on your location and experience level.

We prefer having candidates across regions. The key is 2-4 hour overlap with PST and a motivated/driven attitude. We’re a startup so bring your game!
