Media management platform for images, videos, and digital assets at scale
Cloudinary operates a media management and delivery platform built on AWS infrastructure (Lambda, SQS, Kinesis, Aurora, EKS) with a modern frontend stack (React, TypeScript) and Go microservices. The company is actively adopting GitHub Copilot and Cursor while scaling Kubernetes deployments, indicating engineering-first prioritization of developer velocity. Hiring is accelerating across engineering (38 open roles) and product (25), with heavy senior and director-level recruitment, suggesting both platform complexity and a shift toward higher-leverage product leadership.
