Rumble is the Freedom-First technology platform. We proudly offer a video platform, cloud services, advertising solutions, and a non-custodial cryptocurrency wallet.
Rumble is seeking a Senior Back-End Developer to design, build, and maintain high-performance server-side systems that power a large-scale video platform serving millions of users. This is a senior individual contributor role for someone who can own backend systems end to end, improve them in production, and make strong technical decisions as scale, complexity, and performance demands grow.
Our environment centers on backend services, data-intensive application logic, and production systems that must perform reliably at high scale. You should be comfortable working across PHP, MySQL, caching layers, APIs, Linux environments, and legacy systems, while also partnering effectively with front-end engineers to connect user-facing components to server-side logic.
Youll work closely with engineering partners to turn requirements into clear technical plans, apply strong systems design fundamentals to complex backend problems, and make sound implementation decisions across application, data, and infrastructure layers.
Design and evolve scalable backend systems for a high-traffic video platform, with a focus on performance, maintainability, and long-term reliability. This includes building APIs, optimizing MySQL schemas and queries, implementing effective caching strategies with Memcached and Redis, and supporting background jobs or data-processing workloads that operate at significant scale.
The role also includes maintaining and modernizing legacy code, integrating front-end components with backend logic, and contributing to technical direction through code reviews, reusable patterns, and sound architectural judgment.
