  • Work with engineers across the organization on project definition, technical specification,  task break-down, delivery, monitoring, and maintenance;  

  • Generate designs for new functionalities that are robust, maintainable and scalable; 

  • Write code that can be understood and leveraged by others, and meet the demands of the  business’s rapid growth;  

  • Provide support on questions about the consumer facing application implementation and  the tooling built around the app; and  

  • Mentor less-experienced members of the team by helping them with code review and  setting up best coding practices.

  • Debugging code issues utilizing logging and monitoring systems and stack trace analysis;

  • Writing technical specifications for software features, discussing tradeoffs and breaking  down complex concepts into actionable work items; 

  • Developing backend features including APIs (application programming interfaces), data  schemas, data stores, and algorithms;

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
