About the role
- We're doing an AI-first engineering rebuild for a company that already has an audience of 100M+ people.
- You'll be working, as part of a small and fast-moving team, on one of the most technically demanding parts of the product: a live and game stack where traffic is unpredictable and user expectations are unforgiving.
- Real-time features (video playback, messaging, leaderboards, in-game interactions) that must stay correct and fast under spike-driven load.
Responsibilities
- Build and ship live and game features across the full stack using AI coding tools, contributing to a velocity that redefines what a small engineering team can deliver.
- Take ownership of your features end to end, from development through deployment, using AI-facilitated QA processes and tooling to maintain high engineering quality.
- Full Stack Engineer: 3+ years of hands-on experience building consumer-facing products across frontend and backend, with comfort moving between client and server as the product demands.
- This is a zero-to-one build with no legacy constraints.
- You're not joining to maintain someone else's code.
- You're here to build live streaming and gaming experiences that set a new bar for the industry, from the ground up for the Beast community.
- You'll work across the full stack, frontend and backend, to deliver features at a speed that wasn't possible before AI, and help shape a product that millions of users will experience in real time.
- This is your opportunity to lead the team that decides how those moments come to life across every screen.
Requirements
- Real-Time Enthusiast: You have genuine interest or experience in live streaming, gaming, or real-time systems.
- Strong software engineering fundamentals with hands-on experience in at least one backend language (Node.js, Go, Java, Rust, or equivalent) and one frontend framework.
- You have genuine interest or experience in live streaming, gaming, or real-time systems.
Compensation
- Competitive Salary
Benefits
- The Perks, Why Work On the MrBeast Team

- Company contributions to employee Health Savings Accounts (HSA)
- Flexible vacation policy and paid company holidays
- Bonus points for experience with live streaming protocols (HLS, RTMP), real-time systems (websockets, messaging, leaderboards), gaming backend services, or prior work at a consumer-scale company.
- Collaborate closely with your teammates, contributing to a culture of high standards, fast iteration, and continuous learning.
