Role Overview

We’re looking for a skilled C++ Software Developer to help architect and build the core services powering our high-volume media workflows — including video transcoding, filtering, and live streaming. You’ll work on performance-critical systems where reliability and throughput aren’t afterthoughts; they’re the product.

This is a great fit if you love systems programming, care deeply about code quality, and want to work on infrastructure that processes video at scale. Experience in media or broadcast technology is a genuine plus, but we’re open to strong C++ engineers from any domain who are excited to learn.

What You'll Do

• Design and implement high-throughput, fault-tolerant services in C++
• Drive performance optimization across services and processes to meet demanding reliability targets
• Contribute across the full SDLC — from technical planning and architecture through testing and production support
• Write robust error handling and high-quality, context-rich logging that makes real-time debugging tractable

Requirements

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related field
• 3+ years of experience developing high-performance software in C++
• 3+ years developing software in Linux, Windows, or macOS environments
• Solid command of asynchronous programming, multithreading, and concurrency
• Experience building fault-tolerant systems with robust error handling
• Comfort in a fast-paced, agile development environment

Preferred Qualifications:

• Exposure to media technologies: HLS, Direct3D, Vulkan, Metal, video/audio codecs, transcoding, DRM, or MAM/DAM systems
• Familiarity with real-time or streaming pipelines
• Track record of shipping performant, well-tested systems under production conditions
• Passion for high-performance systems and quality-driven development
