Senior Backend Software Engineer - KICK Viewer Engagement

The Viewer Engagement and Experience feature development team powers the heart of Kick’s platform and the real-time, high-volume features that keep millions of viewers coming back. We own the core customer experience: seamless live stream viewing, rapid fire live chats, and the real-time community interactions that make Kick, Kick. From delivering lightning fast chat messaging across massive global events (think 4M+ concurrent viewers) to architecting systems that scale, this team pushes technical limits daily. You’ll tackle complex backend challenges, build and ship user-facing features at scale, and help evolve our architecture as we migrate toward high-performance Golang based services.
