Job description
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., 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. About Vancast
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
