Job description

Our Client, a global tech firm, is seeking a Multicasting Engineer L3 / L4 to join their team in Rosebank (onsite) on a contract basis. They offer stability, growth, attractive rates, and a great working environment.

Responsibilities:

• Development of new features, bug fixing, and addressing customer queries within the multicast control plane space.

• Develop automated tests to ensure a high-quality handoff to the Test team and deliver detailed software specifications.
• Handle customer queries and participate in triages for issue resolution.

Benefits of using multicasting:

• Lower bandwidth requirements: Multicasting reduces the amount of bandwidth consumed by broadcasting video, voice, or data over the network. It sends only one stream of data to multiple receivers.
• Smooth migration path: Compatible with existing broadcasting technology without needing new equipment for new users.
• Uniform quality of service: Maintains data quality even when delivered to multiple nodes simultaneously.
• More efficient use of network bandwidth: Bandwidth usage remains fixed regardless of the number of receivers.
• Improved scalability: Allows a single source to transmit data to multiple destinations, enhancing performance and scalability.
• Increased fault tolerance: If one stream fails, others can still receive messages.
• More applications: Facilitates communication among multiple devices and applications without requiring IP address knowledge.
