About Rally

Rally is a video conferencing platform enabling multiple conversations in parallel. You no longer have to take turns to speak, and can hop in and out of conversations with a click. This is perfect for happy hours, networking, and other social gatherings. We are being used by institutions like MasterCard, Harvard and a multitude of startups across North America.

About the role

About Us:
SlaySchool.com helps medical students by using generative AI to transform notes, exams, and videos into interactive study material. In the past 7 months, we have served over 150,000 students from over 5000 medical, nursing, and health affiliated schools globally.

Role:
We are looking for a driven Founding Engineer to join our startup. This role demands rapid implementation of features and collaboration on multiple projects to enhance our platform's capabilities. In addition to education projects, you will also explore other innovative avenues.

Why should you join?

Our secret sauce is not just in the product but in how we go to market and gain distribution. If you’re looking to start a company one day, or interested in understanding growth, this is a great place to learn. You’ll be required to iterate and experiment quickly and should love working with data and challenging assumptions. Ultimately you are looking for a place that will make a massive impact on thousands of people using a combination of technology and great user experiences.

We prefer candidates in Canada, specifically in or around Toronto. That’s not to say we won’t hire from outside, but we’re intentional about building a great Canadian technology company.

Technology

Our Stack:

  • 🎥 WebRTC
  • 🌐 Kubernetes
  • ⚙️ NodeJS
  • 🗄 PostgreSQL
  • 🗃 Redis
  • 🔌 Websockets
  • 🛠 GraphQL
  • 💻 ReactJS

Rally is in some ways more like a realtime multiplayer video game than it is like a typical web application. We are streaming multiple video and audio streams, and must optimize CPU usage and framerate. We are managing real-time state and behavioural rules in a central "game" server, and firing off events to large numbers of clients in real-time. Lots of tough and interesting technical challenges to solve - not just another CRUD app 😀. Come join us in our quest to bring the energy back into online gatherings! 🙌
