Staff Backend Engineer - Moderation

Our team is building a new product within Cloudinary, focused on large scale visual moderation. It is a fast moving, high impact effort that is already attracting interest from major customers. We operate like a small startup inside Cloudinary, which means: Full independence in technical and product decisions Freedom to build things the way we want The backing and stability of a well established, successful company Strong people first culture with genuinely great teammates We own the full development lifecycle, from deciding what to build to how we build, ship, and operate it. The team is very small, highly focused, and fully hands on. Why This Role Is Different You will work on a backend system where scale, cost, and correctness all matter at the same time. You will have real architectural ownership, direct customer impact, and the freedom to move fast without heavy process. Few roles offer this combination inside a mature company.
