We're building a powerful tool that identifies viral content creators across TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts—then automates outreach to them for low-cost, high-impact marketing.

Your role is to turn this vision into a scalable product that fuels multiple fast-growing startups.
Key Responsibilities:
- Develop a frontend dashboard that lets users explore viral creators by views, category, and platform
- Build back-end systems to ingest and analyze real-time video data across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube
- Automate outreach via DM/email with smart personalization and timing logic
- Integrate filters to exclude brands and identify rising individuals using content cues and bio analysis
- Enable account linking and persona customization to increase outreach success
- Optimize data models for tracking impressions, response rates, and conversions across campaigns




- Work closely with marketing teams to rapidly iterate based on feedback

Key Requirements:
- Strong experience with React.js or Next.js for frontend development, using Tailwind CSS for styling
- Proficiency in backend development with Node.js and Express.js or Firebase (Firestore preferred)
- Experience with web scraping or social platform APIs (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube)
- Ability to automate outreach via DM/email, using smart personalization and template logic
- Familiarity with AI or basic NLP models to classify and filter accounts based on content and metadata
- Experience deploying applications on platforms like Vercel, Netlify, or Render
- Ability to work in a fast-paced, MVP-first setting with minimal supervision
