Full-stack Software Engineer
About us: MOLTEN empowers rights-holders of media content. MOLTEN Cloud platform transforms and simplifies today's complex intellectual property rights, content and licensing operations — so that rights-holders are able to efficiently distribute and monetize their content globally. Our platform is used by film/TV organizations across 6 continents of the world to manage over 180M rights, hosting data and content for over 5% of all movies known to exist (per imdb). MOLTEN is a Cambridge-based startup, founded in the heart of MIT, committed to modernizing the archaic value-chain of media rights. We are a diverse team of hackers, hustlers, and hipsters, and are backed by leading media-tech investors such as Jack Dorsey and Ashton Kutcher.

- Test accuracy, performance and scalability to deploy robust systems for global user groups
- Incorporate user centricity in the product, meet directly with users to collect requirements and feedback to continuously improve and optimize the user experience
- Collaborate with the business development team to best articulate and share the value proposition of your system to its users, and with our technology partners to design and integrate broader solutions

- Goal-oriented: when things seem to get overwhelming for most people, you have the demonstrated ability to put things in perspective, prioritize, and deliver results
Our culture: is about being rigorous at work and celebrating our big and small wins as a team. At MOLTEN, you will have the opportunity to own and lead your own workstreams, learn from exceptional individuals on the team, and help build technology that matters across the world.
