Software Engineering Team Lead

Description:

For many of us there’s that one podcast we never miss, and video content is part of our daily routine, whether it’s professional or personal. But how many of us truly understand the effort that goes on behind the scenes? Here at Riverside, we know it well. That’s exactly why we built an AI-powered platform that helps content creators, podcasters, marketeers, and more at major brands like Netflix, Disney, Google, and Microsoft to create high-quality content with ease.

Riverside’s technology streamlines the entire content creation process, turning ideas into professional-grade content with the highest production standards, without requiring expensive equipment or external services. The secret? AI-driven tools that replace traditional production roles like editing, directing, and design, automating the entire process at the click of a button.

About the Engineering Team

We’re a team of smart, curious engineers building scalable, reliable systems that power content creation for millions. We work with modern web technologies, tackle real-world challenges in distributed systems, and keep things practical—no overengineering, just solid solutions. If you love solving tough problems, moving fast, and building tech that creators actually use, you’ll fit right in.



On your day to day

In this role, you'll lead a strong development team, balancing hands-on coding with technical leadership. You'll drive high-performance, maintainable web applications while defining architecture, scalability, and feature strategies. Beyond development, you'll oversee sprints, ensure code quality, and collaborate across teams to align business needs with engineering goals. We’re looking for a problem solver with a startup mindset—someone who thrives in challenges, manages priorities effectively, and leads by example.

What Will Make You Stand Out?

• 6 Expertise in Node.js, TypeScript, MongoDB, and Kafka, with a deep understanding of fullstack development
• Strong knowledge of React.js and modern frontend best practices
• Experience working with AWS services, designing scalable cloud-based solutions
• Experience with real-time data streaming, event-driven architectures, and messaging queues
• A problem-solving mindset, able to break down complex challenges into actionable solutions
• Ability to design and implement scalable, modular architectures for long-term maintainability
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, and cloud infrastructure

Bottom line? If you wanna take part in transforming how people and businesses share their stories globally, Riverside’s your place. The work is challenging, the culture is fast-paced, and the people are exceptionally brilliant. And if that’s not enough, we guarantee that your ideas will genuinely make an impact.
