• Work with media technologies, including video and audio processing, transcoding, and adaptive streaming.

• Optimize high-throughput processing pipelines for performance and resource efficiency.

• Collaborate with engineering teams and contribute to technical architecture and design decisions.

• Ensure services are observable, scalable, and cost-efficient in a cloud environment.

Requirements:

• Proven experience developing or operating media delivery systems.

• Strong understanding of adaptive and segmented streaming, media packaging, and transcoding.

• Practical knowledge of video and audio codecs, including H.264, HEVC, AV1, and AAC.

• Experience with media containers and streaming formats such as MP4, MPEG-TS, HLS, and DASH.

• Proficiency in a systems-level programming language such as Rust or C/C++.

• Strong backend development experience, ideally with Python and/or Java.

• Experience developing and operating production backend services at scale.

• Familiarity with Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) and cloud-native environments.

• Understanding of high-throughput pipelines, performance optimization, monitoring, and observability.

What We Offer:

• A dynamic and innovative workplace driving advancements in cutting-edge robotic technologies

• The opportunity to collaborate with talented cross-functional teams on meaningful and impactful projects

• Competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits package

• A supportive culture that fosters continuous learning, growth, and professional development
