Jobbeschreibung

As a Video Back-end Developer at ScorePlay, you will play a crucial role in designing, implementing, and optimizing the backend infrastructure for our video streaming platform. Working within a small development team across different technical disciplines, you will leverage your expertise in video technology, programming, containerization, and cloud computing to build scalable and robust video pipelines. This is a hands-on technical role that requires a deep understanding of video codecs, containers, streaming protocols, and backend development.

Key Responsibilities

1. Video Processing and Encoding:

   • Utilize your understanding of FFMPEG and video processing techniques to implement transcoding, trimming, filtering, and other video processing operations.

   • Build and optimize video pipelines to efficiently process and deliver video content at scale, ensuring high-quality streaming experiences for our users.

2. Programming and Containerization:

   • Demonstrate strong programming skills in languages such as C, C++, Python, or Go to develop backend services, APIs, and automation scripts.

   • Implement containerized solutions using Docker and Terraform to deploy, manage, and scale video processing infrastructure in a cloud environment.

3. Video Technology Expertise:

   • Apply your in-depth knowledge of video codecs, containers, and streaming protocols to optimize video/audio parameters such as bitrate, framerate, resolution, and codec settings.

   • Understand multimedia containers like MP4, MKV, AVI, and WebM, with a focus on the MXF container for broadcast-quality video content.

4. Live Streaming and Delivery:

   • Develop and manage low-latency live streaming solutions using protocols such as SRT, RTMP, and HLS.

   • Optimize live stream ingest and delivery pipelines for latency, reliability, and quality.

   • Monitor and troubleshoot real-time streaming performance issues, ensuring robust and scalable live workflows.

5. Continuous Professional Development (CPD):

   • Stay up-to-date with the rapid evolution of video technology, industry trends, and emerging standards through continuous learning, research, and participation in relevant communities and events.

6. Development Environment and Best Practices:

   • Utilize version control systems like Git, continuous integration (CI), and automated testing to maintain code quality, reliability, and reproducibility in the development environment.

7. Cloud Computing:

   • Leverage cloud computing platforms such as AWS, Azure, and GCP to deploy, scale, and manage backend infrastructure for video processing, storage, and delivery.

Key Requirements

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.

• Proven experience as a back-end developer or similar role, with expertise in video technology, programming, containerization, and cloud computing.

• Strong programming skills in languages such as C, C++, Python, or Go, and familiarity with containerization technologies like Docker.

• Proficiency with FFmpeg and strong knowledge of video codecs, containers, streaming protocols, and multimedia formats and parameters; experience with complex FFmpeg pipelines (complex filters, stream mapping, audio channels manipulation, cropping, frame perfect trimming, overlays, handling metadata and timestamps, SRT, HLS)

• Experience with version control, continuous integration, and automated testing.

• Familiarity with cloud computing platforms (in particular AWS) and their services for backend development (ECS, Clusters, StepFunctions, EFS, ECR)

• Bonus: Golang, Video-js knowledge, GPU-based transcoding
