We’re looking for a Software Engineer with a strong backend development foundation and a good understanding of infrastructure fundamentals and principles. In this role, you’ll play a critical part in building and maintaining scalable, reliable, and performant systems that power our video infrastructure and core services. This role requires a hands-on engineer who is comfortable operating across both software delivery and system reliability.

The Video Input/Output Systems team manages all aspects of linear video, including ingest, storage, distribution, advertising, scheduling, and client playback at scale.

This is an exciting opportunity for a software engineer to collaborate with internal and external stakeholders, designing efficient systems to meet key business needs. You will work closely with our Streaming Media Operations (Acquisition, Encoding, Operations), Advertising Engineering, Platform, Product Management, Players, Content Distribution, and Sales teams to develop integrated solutions.

What You’ll Do:

• Design and develop high-throughput, low-latency video backend services, with an emphasis on scalable architecture, efficient data processing, and fault-tolerant system behavior under peak traffic conditions
• Instrument services with detailed metrics, distributed tracing, structured logging, and health checks to support real-time observability and actionable alerting
• Own the reliability lifecycle—from designing SLIs/SLOs to leading incident response, triage, on-call rotations, and long-term reliability engineering initiatives
• Architect scalable and event-driven services and microservice to support millions of concurrent viewers
• Collaborate deeply with SRE and partner teams to optimize service performance across edge caches, CDNs, and cloud regions, with attention to cost, failover resilience, and traffic shaping
• Participate in design reviews, code reviews, and technical planning to ensure long-term system health, maintainability, and resilience

What We’re Looking For:

• 3+ years of experience delivering production-quality software in complex, high-traffic environments, with expertise in Go (primary), Python, Java, or similar languages
• Strong foundation in distributed systems, microservices architecture, and event-driven design patterns
• Proven infrastructure skills, including monitoring, alerting, logging, and incident response best practices
• Experience designing and consuming RESTful APIs, and working with relational or SQL-like databases
• Familiarity with video playback services and streaming technologies such as HLS, DASH, CMAF, SSAI, DRM, and signaling protocols like SCTE-224, SCTE-35, POIS
• Skilled in deploying and managing systems in cloud environments (e.g., GCP, AWS), with Kubernetes, Terraform, Prometheus, Grafana, or equivalent tools for observability and infrastructure-as-code
• Experience with caching strategies, CDN o
