The Role - Software Engineer (Video Player)

You’ll be responsible for building, maintaining, and hardening our video player, with a strong focus on playback performance, rendering, integrations, and overall viewer experience.

You’ll also contribute to broadcast augmentation features and the development tools used by our content team. Over time, there will be opportunities to expand your impact into our video processing pipeline and our content and augmentation engines.

What You Will Use Day To Day

You should expect to work in JavaScript and Rust almost every day, with some tasks needing other languages. The balance shifts by task (browser and player code, transcoder and augmentation-related tooling, API). You will predominantly work around video and augmentation

Qualifications





Strong experience in lower-level software development
Ability to design, build, and maintain reliable, low-latency systems
Comfortable working across complex, distributed architectures

Preferred Qualifications

Proven ability to code in different languages like Java, Kotlin, Rust, Typescript, etc.
Proven ability to lead features or subsystems from ambiguous requirements through to production
Strong collaboration skills, including code reviews, pairing, and clear technical communication

Nice To Have Qualifications

Experience with video, ideally in the browser (for example streaming, timing, latency, encrypted playback)
Experience with graphics API (e.g. OpenGL, WebGL, Vulkan) or game-engines (e.g. Unity, Unreal, Godot), ideally in the browser.

We enjoy an ‘office-first’ culture and maximize opportunities to collaborate, connect and learn together. Our hybrid working models differ depending on your role and location.
