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.

- 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
