Job Description

**Who We Are**
Curastory was created so that video could be simpler. We are a video
enablement tool that allows content creators to edit, monetize, distribute and
more for their videos across the web, first starting with social media. For
monetization, we are the first programmatic, media buying advertising
technology for creator video ad reads. Long term, our aim is to simplify and
enable every part of the video creation process, bettering the lives of video
creators in their pursuit to build media networks. We’re backed by the early
investors of Snapchat, Cameo, and Giphy that believe in our vision for the
future of video, and we are aiming to build a company that powers every video
for audiences everywhere.

Join the Curastory team as we continue to evolve our product to meet the needs
of our creator users, advertiser customers, end-user audiences, and provide a
much-needed change to the way video is created and consumed forever.

**Where You’ll Come In**
At Curastory, we have a very strong culture of deploying products for our
users with a scalable tech stack built from company coding standards and
guidelines. No tech debt here. The Engineering team, specifically works on
constantly evolving our tech bringing our product to higher levels.

As a Senior Machine Learning Engineer, AdTech Infrastructure on Curastory’s
Engineering team, you will leverage your strong programming abilities to
continue to create and maintain our video advertising technology from the
ground up serving our advertiser customers in buying, managing, and tracking
their creator-read video advertisements across the open web, first with social
video. You will use your well-demonstrated communication skills to collaborate
with all engineering colleagues to build products quickly across all company
departments. The ideal candidate we're looking for would be someone who has a
desire to work across our technology in a full stack focused environment. If
you are someone who is strong with NodeJS, proficient with React, and
understand NextJS, we would love for you to apply.

This is a highly visible role, working closely with stakeholders across the
company, including our Chief Executive Staff and Product teams. You will be
reporting directly to the Chief Executive Officer and will have a strong
influence on the design of our products pre-development.
