One of the top 10 Photo/Video apps in the US App Store, Lomotif is America’s go-to app for creating video edits. Lomotif enables content creators with an original voice to reach an audience of millions. Every day, our users are creating memes, selfie music videos and video edits for social sharing. The app is especially popular among GenZ teenagers and has seen extraordinary organic growth. The app is also popular in Brazil, Portugal, and Russia. Video fads come and go, but we at Lomotif believe that the future of entertainment is dependent on the expanding base of video creators and allowing the next generation of mobile entertainers to shine through. 

With our recent Series A funding, we’re expanding quickly to meet the demands of our accelerating growth and are looking for a Backend Software Engineer that will help us redefine what it means to be successful.

What We’re Good At:

• Powering an app that serves millions of users (how often will you find this in a startup?)
• Giving you flexible working hours (not a morning person? Not a problem!)
• Mentoring you, especially because we’d love to watch you grow
• Providing a hip and fun work environment
• Giving you a little something to fight for (a competitive benefits package!)

As a Backend Software Engineer at Lomotif, a typical day in your life includes:

• Writing high-quality, clean, maintainable code in the best possible way
• Covering your code with tests
• Being a designer, creator, documentor, and maintainer of APIs
• Optimising applications for maximum performance and scalability
• Understanding our product, constantly optimising the product, as well as identifying and fixing the problems (even the nitty gritty!) with our product
• Improving stability and user experience
• Collaborating with other developers, the product and UX team to deliver solutions with efficiency and flai

What You’re Good At:

• Your job (prior experience would definitely help us in determining this)
• Being annoyingly passionate about coding and programming
• Being an innovative thinker, itching to solve challenging problems
• Web development using existing frameworks, such as Django
• Knowing your way around services available by cloud service providers (Heroku, Celery)
• Getting excited about scaling backend solutions (we have a lot of users!)
• Showing initiative in picking up and sharing new technologies
• Fostering strong bonds with the rest of the Lomotif team.
• Expressing yourself fluently in the English Language

Extra Cool If You

• Know your way around video space-related knowledge and technologies (i/b/p frames, h264, rtmp, ffmpeg)
• Have worked with developing nifty social media features (notifications and news feeds, privacy)
• Are familiar with the good practices of DevOps (provision and maintain services)
• Have startup/entrepreneurial experience

This position is in Singapore, full-time onsite only.
