About the role

Design, implement, and optimize high-performance WebRTC distribution components capable of handling millions of concurrent viewers with sub-second latency. Work at the packet level to diagnose, tune, and improve transport behavior across UDP and TCP-based protocols, ensuring optimal video quality and reliability. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define and evolve the architecture of real-time media delivery infrastructure. Drive technical decisions that balance scalability, cost efficiency, and customer experience. Contribute to protocol design and implementation for emerging low-latency transport mechanisms, including Media over QUIC (MoQ) and other next-generation streaming protocols. Stay current with industry standards and innovations. Identify and resolve performance bottlenecks through profiling, experimentation, and rigorous engineering. Use data-driven approaches to optimize CPU, memory, and network utilization across distributed systems. Mentor junior engineers and conduct code reviews to maintain high engineering standards. Participate in on-call rotations to ensure service reliability and rapid incident response. Document architectural decisions and contribute to technical design reviews.
