Patent / Senior Back-end Engineer -- 2
Budget: $250 – $750 CAD
Phase 1: Patent Technical Review (5-15 hours)
We have a draft patent specification for a real-time interactive entertainment platform. We need a senior engineer to:
Review technical claims - Ensure they're architecturally sound and implementable
Refine technical language - Add specificity where needed, flag any gaps
Validate feasibility - Confirm the described system can handle scale requirements
Suggest additions - Any technical features we should claim that would strengthen the patent
Document architecture - Create technical diagrams that support the patent claims
You'll review claims covering:
Real-time vote aggregation with configurable thresholds
Fallback logic for guaranteed playback continuity
Second-screen synchronization (QR, metadata markers)
Paid influence weighting mechanics
Gamification systems (points, leaderboards, mini-games)
Partner API/SDK integration
Cross-session state persistence
Deliverables:
Annotated feedback on patent specification
Recommended technical revisions
Architecture diagram(s) validating the approach
Implementation feasibility assessment
Required Experience
Must-haves:
5+ years backend development
Real-time systems (WebSocket, concurrent users at scale)
Redis, Node.js or Python, AWS/GCP
Experience building systems that handle thousands of simultaneous users
Critical for this role:
Ability to read and understand patent claims
Experience translating technical requirements to/from legal language
OR prior experience working with patent attorneys on technical specs
Nice to have:
Previous patent involvement (as inventor, technical consultant, or reviewer)
Streaming/media platform experience
System architecture documentation experience
Ideal Candidate
You've either:
Been named on a patent and worked with attorneys to refine technical claims
Consulted on patent applications as a technical expert
Built systems in regulated industries requiring precise technical documentation
Strong technical writing skills with attention to precise language
To Apply
Relevant experience - Real-time systems you've built
Patent experience (if any) - Have you contributed to patent specifications before? Worked with patent attorneys?
Quick assessment - Review this sample claim and tell me if you see any technical issues or improvements:
"A decision engine configured to aggregate viewer input signals received during each interaction window according to configurable threshold rules and select a subsequent content segment based on the aggregated viewer input signals; wherein a fallback module automatically selects a default content segment when participation fails to meet a threshold or when a defined time period expires."
