As a Senior Software Engineer you’ll work closely with other members of the Core Services team to help build new backend services to power Vimeo’s high-performance infrastructure as well as improve the performance of existing services.  We serve hundreds of petabytes of video a month, with over 1.5 millennia of content uploaded each year.

• Day-to-day, you'll be using your deep knowledge of service-oriented architectures, Golang, and distributed systems to plan and build core components and architecture. You’ll build the infrastructure that is used throughout Vimeo to help us shed legacy baggage and ensure our app is performant as we iterate and evolve.
