Bengali streaming platform with 600+ films and 200+ original shows
hoichoi operates a subscription video platform serving Bengali-language content to audiences across India and diaspora markets. The engineering stack — Node.js, Go, Kubernetes, Kafka, and observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, Jaeger) — reflects infrastructure built for OTT scale: active projects center on payment orchestration, subscription lifecycle, and traffic spike resilience, while stated pain points (OTT traffic spikes, transaction scaling, D30 retention decline) map directly to the technical surface area being built. Hiring velocity is accelerating with mid-to-senior engineering roles, signaling active infrastructure and feature buildout.
