About the Role

We’re looking for a Senior iOS Video Player Engineer with deep hands‑on experience in video playback to design, build, and optimize advanced video player features across Apple TV, iPad, and iPhone platforms.

This role is highly technical and collaborative—you’ll work with backend, product, and video infrastructure teams to deliver best‑in‑class playback performance for millions of viewers. You’ll be responsible for building and troubleshooting video player functionality, improving playback performance, and ensuring a seamless user experience across devices.

If you love solving complex playback challenges—things like HLS tuning, rebuffering, startup performance, and AVPlayer optimization—this role is for you.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and optimize video player components for iOS and tvOS applications (Apple TV, iPad, iPhone).
• Troubleshoot and resolve performance issues, rebuffering events, and playback stability across devices.
• Implement and fine‑tune HLS playback using AVPlayer and related Apple media frameworks.
• Collaborate with engineering, backend, and product teams to enhance playback quality, scalability, and maintainability.
• Integrate and manage third‑party SDKs (analytics, DRM, ad tech, or QoE monitoring).
• Contribute to CI/CD pipelines, performance monitoring, and release processes.
• Stay up‑to‑date with emerging video streaming technologies and best practices for playback optimization.

Core Requirements

• 8+ years of iOS development experience with deep expertise in Swift and Objective‑C.
• Proven experience building and maintaining video players or playback components for iOS/tvOS.
• Strong hands‑on experience with HLS and AVPlayer, including tuning and troubleshooting playback behavior.
• Demonstrated ability to debug and optimize performance, including rebuffering, memory usage, and playback start time.
• Familiarity with video streaming protocols, ABR logic, and DRM integration.
• Strong understanding of iOS app architectures (MVVM, Clean Architecture) and CI/CD pipelines.
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills across engineering, design, and product teams.

Nice to Have

• Experience with video QoE analytics platforms (e.g., Mux, Conviva, Youbora).
• Background in OTT or streaming media applications.
• Familiarity with Apple's Human Interface Guidelines and tvOS design patterns.
• Experience integrating ad tech or analytics SDKs into media players.

• Fully Remote – Simply put, we trust you.
