Job description
Our engineers want to gain energy from you and share their energy with you. We want healthy, and challenging
discussions. We expect you to guide us with your wealth of knowledge and experience, but want to remind you
that we also have a wealth of knowledge and experience and when conflicts of experience arise we expect you will
be able to handle it professionally and productively.
Requirements:

As a technical mentor and individual contributor you will need to provide proven expertise in the following areas:
● 2+ years of experience with GoLang
● 2+ years of professional experience with OTT and encoding/transcoding technologies
○ HLS and/or DASH
○ Dynamic Ad Insertion (DAI), Server-Side Ad Insertion (SSAI), Adaptive Bitrate (ABR) Streaming, etc.
○ FFMPEG (or similar)
○ Hybrik, Elemental (or similar)
● 7+ years of experience in a relevant field (engineering, physics, mathematics, etc)
● Conversational verbal skills for the English language.
● Excellent written skills in the English language.
● Work effectively within and across teams.
○ Ability to ensure issues are discussed before they become problems.
○ Direct conversations and ensure criticism remain positive and constructive.
○ Align your expectations with the people you are working closely with.
○ Ask questions of clarification to ensure accuracy.

Experience with the following would be helpful. Missing too many may result in too steep a learning curve.
Please be open and honest with yourself. If you don’t have a skill set that would allow you to be 100% autonomous
with at least 6 of the following technologies and concepts, you would not be a good fit for this position. Consider
further, you will be expected to mentor others on these technologies and concepts.
– Infrastructure as Code: Terraform, Cloudformation, Kubernetes, Helm
– GitHub, GitHub Actions
– Jenkins, Circleci, Ansible, Salt, etc
– Microservices Architecture
– Testing Best Practices (Unit Tests, Automated test suites)
– Software Design Best Practices (Encapsulation, Decoupling, Happy Path + Design for Failure)

The existing code base will require day-to-day maintenance and feature development. You will be expected to help
in this effort and simultaneously provide feedback, and work closely with your mentor.
This role carries a great deal of responsibility and demand. With this in mind, you should know that the
management philosophy of the engineering group you will be working with is the following:
– No Herculean efforts

– We have an agreement with our stakeholders that requests will carry with them no expectation of efforts beyond a normal workload.

– No excessive toil

– This agreement further addresses tasks that require large amounts of time that would be considered minimally productive. e.g. Manually reading through thousands of lines of code looking for something not well defined. i.e. Looking for something that would not be searchable using grep or similar (because you may not know what you are looking for).
– All requests will be well defined and include a measurable metric for success.
– Features and services will have properly defined SLOs.
– Will adhere to an error budget to ensure we maintain technical debt along the way.
– We are proponents of Forward Motion and do not like Stop Energy. When someone finds the passion to
push for positive change, we will support those efforts with optimistic conversations, not flood it with
fearful anecdotes – Stops should only incur due to facts.

Job Responsibilities:

As a Transcode – Software Engineer you will be expected to contribute with a team of engineers to support an
industry leading Over-the-Top (OTT) software platform. You will attend planning & scrum meetings, and work
closely with other engineers to fix bugs, work on technical debt, and design & implement features. In this role you
will be considered to be 100% autonomous for day-to-day work. With this responsibility will come the expectation
to deliver reports to a live audience – lunch and learns, technical updates, etc – so a strong foundation in public
speaking will be helpful (though nobody expects you to have the charisma of a gameshow host).
Furthermore, you will be mentored by a senior engineer to ensure you gain the confidence to mentor junior
engineers – yes, you will be actively mentoring junior engineers – both ensuring their growth but also continuing
yours. This mentoring will come in the form of pair programming, “review buddies” (code and presentations), etc.
