ABOUT THE ROLE

Disguise is seeking a Senior Full-Stack Developer to join our growing Cloud Services team — a fast-moving group building the next generation of Disguise Cloud products.

You’ll play a key role in designing and delivering powerful cloud-based tools that integrate tightly with Disguise’s ecosystem, supporting some of the world’s most ambitious live events and immersive experiences.

We’re looking for someone who can hit the ground running — a confident engineer with deep backend experience (Django, Laravel, and/or Rails), strong frontend expertise in Vue, and experience building interactive 3D applications using Three.js.

If you enjoy solving complex problems, building production-grade systems, and collaborating across disciplines, this role is for you.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Lead development of a cutting-edge 3D modelling and editing tool built with Three.js, used to simulate and analyze immersive visual experiences for global live events.
• Architect and build scalable APIs and backend services across multiple platforms and technologies.
• Design robust, high-performance database solutions with strong optimisation practices.
• Develop and maintain Vue-based UI controls and components that expose powerful features to end users.
• Collaborate closely with other engineering teams across the organisation to integrate systems and share expertise.
• Conduct thoughtful code reviews and maintain high standards for quality and reliability.
• Support customer-facing teams by troubleshooting issues and responding to internal and external support requests.
• Assist with debugging, performance tuning, and production deployments.
• Break down large features into manageable, well-scoped tasks and drive them to completion.

ABOUT YOU

You’re a senior-level engineer who combines strong technical depth with product curiosity and ownership.

Required Skills & Experience

• 5+ years of professional software development experience
• Strong backend expertise in Django, Laravel, and/or Rails
• Strong frontend expertise in Vue
• Hands-on experience with Three.js
• Deep understanding of REST APIs (public and private), including OpenAPI specifications and documentation
• Experience working with AWS-based stacks and associated tooling for testing, documentation, and deployments
• Proficiency with Git (branching, pull requests, code reviews)
• Experience using tools like JIRA, GitHub, ProductBoard, or similar
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills (English required; collaboration with UK and Canadian teams)
• Experience integrating AI workflows into daily development practices without compromising engineering standards

How You Work

• You hold yourself — and your teammates — to a high standard when working with production systems.
• You write clean, thoughtful, maintainable code and pay close attention to detail.
• You enjoy solving complex technical problems with curiosity and persistence.
• You’re comfortable navigating ambiguity and multiple moving parts.
• You think beyond implementation — you care about what the product should do and how to make it better.
• You thrive in remote, distributed teams and can work independently while communicating effectively.

Nice to Have

• Experience with distributed systems and containerised deployment, especially in the world of cloud media
• Experience with Electron or similar native application frameworks built on web technologies
• Familiarity with C++ (not required, but helpful for cross-team collaboration)
• Experience in live events, film, production, or entertainment industries
• Tailwind CSS experience and a strong eye for design and UX
