About Flamus

Every creation starts with something internal.

An idea, a need, something that wants to exist.

But nothing grows alone.

It needs space. It needs people.

Flamus exists in that moment.

An ecosystem where creators, fans, and brands connect in real ways, forming communities around what they create and experience together.

Where what is created finds people who feel it and respond to it.

More than visibility, we care about connection.

More than moments, we care about what stays.

Your Flame. Your Fame.


The Role

We are looking for a Tech Lead to define how Flamus is built at scale. This is a role for someone who thinks in systems, not features. You will lead the evolution of our architecture across backend, web, and infrastructure, ensuring that performance, type safety, and developer experience are part of every decision. This is not about maintaining a system. It’s about shaping one.


What You’ll Own

  • The technical direction across services, web, and infrastructure
  • Architectural decisions across a multi-service, multi-repo system
  • The standards for how we write, test, and ship code
  • The evolution of our backend, real-time systems, and data layer


You won’t just contribute to the system. You will define how it evolves.


Core Stack

We work with a modern, performance-oriented stack:

  • Runtime: Bun + TypeScript
  • Frontend: Next.js (App Router, Server Components)
  • Backend: ElysiaJS + Eden Treaty (end-to-end type safety)
  • Database: PostgreSQL (Neon) + Drizzle ORM
  • Cache & Real-time: Redis (queues, streams, presence)
  • Auth: Better-Auth (roles, sessions, KYC)


Architecture & Systems

  • Microservices architecture across file, discovery, chat, notify, fiat, and more
  • Monorepo with Git submodules and independent versioning
  • Real-time systems (chat, presence, streams)
  • Media pipelines (upload, processing, streaming)


Cloud & Infrastructure

  • AWS with Infrastructure as Code (CDK)
  • EC2, Amplify, and supporting services
  • Docker for local environments
  • CI/CD with GitHub Actions (dev → staging → main)
  • Secrets management (1Password → GitHub)
  • Observability with OpenTelemetry + Axiom


Engineering Quality

  • Strong testing culture (unit with Bun, E2E with Playwright)
  • Code quality via Biome and CI gates
  • Consistent commit conventions and workflows


Who You Are

  • You have led technical architecture across complex systems
  • You are fluent in TypeScript and care deeply about type safety
  • You are comfortable working across backend, frontend, and infrastructure
  • You think in systems, not isolated services
  • You are hands-on and still enjoy writing code
  • You mentor engineers and raise the quality bar of the team


Nice to Have

  • Experience with Bun or high-performance runtimes
  • Experience with real-time systems and event-driven architectures
  • Familiarity with Rust (desktop / Tauri context)
  • Experience with creator platforms, monetization, or payments
  • Experience with internationalized products


How You’ll Lead

  • Define architectural standards across repositories
  • Review and guide technical decisions across teams
  • Mentor engineers with a focus on performance and type safety
  • Coordinate releases and system evolution


How We Work

People come first. You’ll have autonomy to define direction, real proximity to product and decision-making, and a team that builds together. This is a place for people who care about what they build.
