Cloudinary is building a new product focused on large-scale visual moderation. This is a high-impact, fast-moving effort that operates as an independent startup within the larger Cloudinary organization, already attracting interest from major customers.
As a Staff Backend Engineer on this team, you will own the full development lifecycle—from technical and product decisions through shipping and operating the system. The team is small, highly focused, and fully hands-on, giving you significant autonomy and influence over architecture and implementation.
You will work on backend systems that handle visual content moderation at scale, leveraging Cloudinary's established platform and customer base while maintaining the agility and ownership culture of an early-stage team. The role emphasizes technical excellence, independent decision-making, and the freedom to build things the right way rather than under time pressure.
The organization prioritizes a strong people-first culture with genuinely great teammates. You'll have the backing and stability of a well-established, successful company combined with the autonomy and impact of a startup environment.
