The Opportunity
We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join the Recording Catalog team. This team is responsible for establishing a clear and maintainable Recording domain, providing a robust and well-defined interface for how recordings are organized, accessed, and used across Veo’s platform.
You’ll help design and maintain the core systems that power this domain - ensuring recording data is reliable, consistent, and easy to work with for both internal teams and customers.
As part of a small, focused team, you’ll have a high degree of ownership and influence on how this area evolves, while collaborating with other engineers and reporting to the Engineering Manager.
\n- Design and evolve domain models and APIs for recordings, matches, and their relationships, with a strong focus on correctness and long-term maintainability.
- Build and operate backend services that provide consistent, controlled access to recording data across Veo’s systems.
- Lead and execute complex refactors and migrations, while keeping systems stable and data in sync.
- Improve reliability and data integrity by identifying edge cases and technical debt in the recording domain and shipping pragmatic fixes.
- Collaborate with product teams and platform partners, align on API contracts, and document decisions so other teams can build on top of the recording domain safely.
- Contribute to documentation and shared understanding of the domain, helping make it accessible and usable across the organization.
- 5 or more years of working experience with a strong backend engineering experience building and maintaining production systems.
- Experience working with domain-driven design problems, where defining models, boundaries, and ownership is key.
- Experience with API design, data migrations, and backward-compatible rollouts.
- A pragmatic approach to reliability, observability, and operational ownership.
- Enjoyment of collaborating across teams and writing clear documentation.
- Familiarity with Python is a bonus
- Openness to using modern AI tools in software development, and curiosity about how they can shape the way we design and evolve systems.
Our Copenhagen office mirrors our innovative technology – with an indoor ball court, rooftop terrace, and well-equipped gym. We have created a facility that supports connecting disciplines across the business, facilitates creative thinking, and gives the space to engage with colleagues, our global partners, and the entire Veo community.
