Position Summary

We are looking for a skilled and motivated Software Engineer with 3–5 years of experience to join our talented development team. This hybrid position offers the opportunity to work on high-performance media applications that serve professionals across the broadcast and video technology industries. The ideal candidate brings solid experience in C++ and a willingness to learn Go and expand their understanding of audio/video systems.

You will play a key role in building and maintaining backend services that drive our core media products. This includes services that capture and analyze live professional video and audio streams directly off the network in real time.

• Build and extend a real-time system for processing and analyzing live audio, video, and ancillary data (e.g., captions, timecode) carried over the network


• Work on problems where correctness under concurrency and timing constraints genuinely matters, not just general application logic


• Collaborate with engineers, product managers, and QA to implement new product features and enhance existing functionality


• Participate in code reviews, technical design discussions, and Agile development workflows


• Write clean, maintainable, well-tested code in a Linux-based environment

Requirements

What You Bring

• 3–5 years of professional experience in software development


• Strong proficiency in modern C++, including solid multithreading and memory management fundamentals


• Comfort reasoning about performance- and timing-sensitive code, not just general application logic


• Interest in learning and contributing to Go-based services


• Solid grasp of software design principles and debugging techniques


• Comfortable working in a Linux environment

Bonus Points For

• Experience or interest in audio/video technologies such as encoding, playback, streaming, or ancillary data (e.g., closed captioning, timecode)


• Exposure to real-time or embedded systems programming, or low-level network protocol work


• Familiarity with microservice architecture and gRPC


• Experience with message-queue-based architectures (e.g., RabbitMQ/AMQP)


• Comfortable working in a CI/CD environment with tools like Jenkins and Bitbucket


• Experience with container orchestration platforms (Kubernetes, k3s)


• Awareness of modern frontend/backend integration patterns (e.g., REST or gRPC APIs with React.js frontends)
