Job description
We are seeking a Senior Software Design Engineer with deep expertise in real-time media systems, audio/video compression, and high-performance software development. You will play a critical role in building scalable, low-latency encoding pipelines that operate across cloud, edge, and bare-metal environments. This position involves working with advanced codecs, open-source frameworks, and IP-based broadcast standards.
As part of your role, you will help translate the product vision and system requirements into concrete software development projects, driving end-to-end technical execution.

Responsibilities:
  • Develop and optimize software for real-time video and audio compression (e.g., H.264, HEVC, AV1, JPEG XS, VVC, AAC, AC-3, NDI).
  • Translate product vision and system requirements into concrete, software deliverables.
  • Work with media frameworks such as FFmpeg and GStreamer for both audio and video pipelines.
  • Implement CPU and GPU-based acceleration paths (e.g., SIMD, CUDA, NVENC, NVDEC ) for low-latency media processing.
  • Architect modular, scalable components for deployment in cloud native and bare metal environments.
  • Profile and tune software for throughput, latency, and system resource efficiency across varied hardware targets.
  • Develop and support IP-based live media systems using standards like SMPTE ST 2110, NMOS, and PTP.
  • Work with real-time transport protocols like RTP, UDP, MPEG-TS, SRT, RIST.
  • Maintain clean, testable C/C++ code with attention to reliability, performance, and maintainability.
  • Conduct design and code reviews; contribute to internal standards and software architecture practices, share technical knowledge and mentor junior team members.
  • Collaborate with QC, and product teams on validation, CI/CD, monitoring, and deployment of live systems.

Qualifications:
  • 7+ years of hands-on C/C++ development in high-performance or real-time systems.
  • Strong understanding of video and audio compression standards and formats.
  • Experience with media frameworks such as FFmpeg or GStreamer in production systems.
  • Solid understanding of Linux systems programming, including memory management, file I/O, scheduling, and process control.
  • Familiarity with inter process communication (IPC) mechanisms: shared memory, sockets, pipes, message queues.
  • Experience with multithreaded and parallel programming techniques.
  • Working knowledge of GPU or SIMD-based performance optimizations.
  • Proficiency in scripting languages such as Python, Bash, or Shell for automation and build tooling.
  • Understanding of network transport protocols (TCP, UDP, RTP)
Additional Technical Experience:
  • IP‑based broadcast standards: SMPTE ST 2110, NMOS IS‑04/IS‑05, PTP / IEEE 1588.
  • Low‑latency A/V synchronization in live production.
  • Hardware codec APIs: NVIDIA Video Codec SDK, Intel oneVPL, AMD AMF.
  • Adaptive bitrate streaming (HLS, MPEG‑DASH) and multi‑profile encoding.
  • Debugging tools: ffprobe, gst-launch, tcpdump, Wireshark
  • OpenCV for image/video processing or computer vision preprocessing.
  • Vulkan API experience for high throughput GPU compute or future codec acceleration.
  • Contributions to open source media, vision, or systems libraries.

What we offer:

  • Employer funded benefits program
  • Competitive total compensation package
  • Work-life balance
  • Employee Assistance plan
  • Employee Discount Platform
  • Career progression
  • Casual work environment
  • Social events and sports teams
