• Scaling to handle concurrent audiences of millions.

Who You Are:

A third is deep experience in end-to-end media quality and performance, someone who makes ABR work right, gets the video to start in 200 ms, and get the live stream to look good from a Cybertruck driving through Baja.

What You’ll Do:

• Collaborate on building and operating services at scale, ensuring seamless performance for concurrent audiences of millions.
• Contribute to media processing pipelines in C/C++, the core components that drive our media services.
• Iteratively improve end-to-end media quality and performance.
