Media Backend Engineer, Content Platform

Requirements

• Fluent in systems-level engineering (think highly-optimized, cross-platform C/C++ libraries).
• Experience in media formats, codecs (audio & video), containers - and you love knowing why they work the way they do.
• Worked with open Source tools like FFmpeg (and yes, we mean libav*), Shaka Packager, and friends.
• Experienced in data structures, algorithms, CPUs, caches, RAM and how to leverage them to maximize performance.
• Has experience building high-throughput networking services that don’t flinch under load.

What You'll Be Doing

• Design, develop, deploy, maintain, and support backend media processing and packaging services - with a sharp eye on performance, scalability, and maintainability.
• Work primarily with Rust, Python, and a bit of Java, leveraging C/C++ libraries - all running smoothly in Google Kubernetes Engine.
• Take operational ownership of your team’s services, including participating in an on-call rotation (because you care about what you build).

• Collaborate with a dedicated team of media tech enthusiasts who think reading a 200-page ISO specification is a good day.
