About Rare Days
Today is a day like no other.
Right now – in this particular moment in time – you're at the point where your growth has generated countless opportunities. Your years of creating, connecting, and building have led to the chance to transform today's influence into tomorrow's legacy.
This is bigger than content calendars and sponsorship deals. Bigger than algorithms and engagement metrics. This is about building something that’s yours. Something created on your terms that shapes your own destiny.
These opportunities don't wait. They don't announce themselves. They require real work to uncover, but they are there if you have the courage and conviction to grab them.
Because you're not just a creator. You're an entrepreneur who has chosen the path less taken. Beyond the endless content treadmill. Beyond trading your time and creativity for views. You see the other route — the one where you build something permanent in a world obsessed with the temporary.
That's why we exist. Not to hand you a template or tell you what worked for others will work for you. But to understand your singular vision, to see the future you want to build, and to help you create something your audience is as excited about as you are.
These days won't last forever. But what we build together just might. That's what makes these days rare.
Let's make ‘em count.
About The Role
We are hiring a Lead Engineer with deep backend expertise and strong fluency across modern web stacks. This role is ideal for someone who thrives on technical challenges, loves building scalable systems, and enjoys collaborating with product, design, and client teams. You’ll work both independently and with small teams, depending on the project, write production code, and play a key role in steering technical direction.
What You’ll Do
