Video Systems Development Engineer Pioneering Music Infrastructure Project

Overview

Open Sesame Media is looking for a Video Systems Development Engineer to join our growing technical team. We are a group of pioneers—people who love doing things that haven’t been done before and have a deep love for music.

You will be working on our core infrastructure, the engine that powers our music vertical and our dual-use vertical. This role is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to build the future of collaboration between the creative community, helping to foster a pro-social, pro-cooperative communal experience for the entire world.

• End-to-End Transport Layer:
  Lead the full-cycle development of the video transport layer, ensuring valid synchronization and ultra-low latency.
• QUIC Pipeline Integration:
  Integrate video into an existing, sophisticated QUIC pipeline that currently manages audio, ensuring reliable AV synchronization.
• Native Application Development (optional):
  Work hands-on with the development of native MacOS and iOS applications.
• SDK Design:
  Architect and design a robust Linux SDK based on the existing Sync Stage codebase to expand our platform's versatility.
• Cross-Functional Optimization:
  Collaborate closely with the engineering team to analyze metrics such as latency, packet loss, and quality, with the goal of troubleshooting and improving the pipeline.

• Experience:
  
  5+ years of software engineering experience with a specific focus on video systems.
• Languages:
  
  proficiency in C++ is essential. (Optional: Rust, Swift.)
• Protocols & Pipelines:
  Deep experience with QUIC pipelines and WebRTC. (Optional: SMPTE 2110, NDI, and JPEG XS.)
• Video Engineering:
  Experience building and optimizing Video Players.
• Experience with A  (Adaptive Bitrate).
• Strong knowledge of video compression standards (H.264, H.265/HEVC, AV1, etc.).
• Architecture:
  Experience with peer-to-peer architecture, multi-server backend architecture, and AWS cloud environments.
• Metrics & Benchmarking: A data-driven approach to video transport, with experience measuring and improving latency, quality (QoE), and packet loss metrics.
• Linux SDKs:
  Experience building SDKs (specifically for Linux) is a distinct advantage.
• Citizenship:
  Being a US Citizen or Permanent Resident (Green Card holder) is a distinct advantage due to the nature of our dual-use vertical.

• No Ego.
• Innovator Spirit: A genuine desire to be an innovator in video transport, not just an implementer of existing standards.
• Passion for Music.
• Futurism: A love for holograms and next-gen visual tech.
• Social Theory: A strong passion for ‘Social Contagion’ Theory and a sincere desire to use technology to create a pro-social, pro-cooperative world.
