What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for a senior AI/ML engineer to establish and lead our machine learning capability from the ground up. This role is ideal for someone who can take ownership of a new engineering initiative and help turn high-level concepts into practical, scalable solutions. You’ll contribute to production systems, participate in architectural decisions, and grow alongside a team that values practical, well-engineered solutions.

We’re also seeking a senior technical leader who can take ownership of a new engineering initiative and help turn high-level requirements into implementable designs.

We’re looking for a software engineer to join our development team. You’ll work across our platform, from backend services to user interfaces, helping build systems that need to be reliable, scalable, and performant.

The balance of this work will vary depending on the project and strengths, but ownership and follow-through are consistent expectations.

• Design, build, and ship features end-to-end, from concept through deployment
• Work across the stack as needed—backend services, APIs, frontend interfaces, and supporting infrastructure
• Develop and maintain testing strategies, including unit tests, integration tests, and test tooling (e.g., mocks, simulation environments)
• Collaborate with teammates to break down problems, define requirements, and iterate on solutions
• Contribute to improving development workflows, tooling, and overall engineering practices
• Debug and resolve issues across the system, including production environments when needed
• Continuously build domain knowledge in media and networking systems to inform better engineering decisions
• Ability to take ownership of features and see them through to completion

Backend:
Java (Spring Boot), Python, Some components in C and C++

Frontend:
Type Script, Angular

Tools: JIRA, Bitbucket

• 2–5 years of experience building and shipping software in a professional environment
• Strong fundamentals in computer science and software engineering
• Ability to take ambiguous problems and turn them into working, maintainable solutions
• Comfortable working across different parts of a system (backend, frontend, testing, or infrastructure)
• Experience writing clean, testable, and maintainable code
• Solid understanding of relational databases (Postgre
  
  SQL or similar)
• Strong debugging and problem-solving skills
• Effective communication and collaboration in a team environment

We value people who are easy to work with, bring a sense of humour, and take pride in what they build. You don’t need to have experience in all areas; we value people who can learn quickly and adapt.

• API design and backend best practices
• Experience with microservices or distributed systems
• High-availability and performance optimization
• Test-driven development and automated testing
• Familiarity with networking concepts (a strong plus in our domain)

• Work on systems that operate in real-time, high-stakes environments
• Small team with high ownership and direct impact
• Opportunity to grow into architecture and technical leadership
