As a Senior Media Streaming Backend Engineer, you will play a crucial role in our team, leading the development and optimization of our streaming technologies. Our team is dedicated to building, deploying, and maintaining a cutting-edge media streaming platform.

We handle petabytes of data and gigabytes per second of traffic and strive to provide the best playback experience to our users.
Experience and Background:

10+ years of experience in software development, with a focus on media streaming technologies.
Proficiency in Go is essential, and experience with additional programming languages such as Scala is highly advantageous.
Strong understanding of audio/video codecs, streaming protocols (HLS, DASH), and transport container technologies.
Proven experience with microservices architecture, databases, and automated testing, coupled with a strong background in containerization technologies (Docker, Kubernetes).
Deep understanding of cloud-based platforms, (e.g. AWS S3, ECS, Lambda, CloudFront), and hands-on experience with infrastructure as code (IaC) using Terraform.
Expertise in monitoring, analytics, and ensuring high availability of distributed systems.
Familiarity with content protection and encryption technologies.
Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
Strong communication and collaboration skills.
