Position overview
As a Senior Full Stack Developer on the Social Affiliate team, you will help build a new social monetization product from the ground up. This stream-aligned team is responsible for integrating Stay22's affiliate infrastructure with social platforms. In this team, we thrive on rapid iteration, experimentation, and creative problem-solving, using real user feedback to guide our direction. You will develop tools that automatically analyze video content, generate and insert affiliate links at scale, and track their performance in real time. Your work will span robust backend pipeline development and intuitive frontend integration within Stay22's products, to seamlessly embed these capabilities. You'll collaborate closely with cross-functional teams - Product, Data, Integrations, Platform and Hub - to ensure our solutions align with product goals and deliver a smooth user experience for content creators.

Implement logic to generate Stay22 affiliate links and automatically insert or replace these links in video placements via platform APIs
Build and refine front-end components in TypeScript within the Stay22 Hub dashboard, allowing partners to link their Social Media platform accounts, view their videos, initiate affiliate link processing, and review performance analytics in an intuitive interface
Ensure every inserted affiliate link is tracked and its performance (clicks, bookings, purchases) is captured, funnelling this data back into Stay22's analytics so that partners can monitor how their social content is performing
Work closely with Product managers, Data analysts, Integrations specialists, Platform engineers, and the Hub team to align technical solutions with product goals. You will participate in design sessions and iterative feedback cycles to deliver a cohesive, high-impact social monetization experience across the Stay22 ecosystem.
