Bodega Bay, California, United States Philo Full time
Job Overview

At Philo, we are a dedicated team of technology and product professionals focused on revolutionizing the television landscape. Our mission is to integrate cutting-edge technology with the captivating medium of television, ultimately crafting the viewing experience we have always envisioned. This involves utilizing cloud-based delivery systems, modern technology stacks, machine learning, and meticulously designed native applications across all platforms. Our goal is to provide a robust streaming experience while innovating next-generation multi-screen and multi-user playback functionalities.

Position: Senior Software Engineer for Video Playback

Philo's video streaming framework is extensively distributed and horizontally scalable, leveraging cloud computing to deliver a significant portion of North American internet traffic. Our video players are developed internally, utilizing a shared codebase across various platforms and open-source technologies for playback. Our proprietary video pipeline processes both live and on-demand content, dynamically inserting advertisements into streams through Server-Side Ad Insertion (SSAI), and efficiently delivering them to our expanding user base at an exabyte scale. We employ leading commercial and open-source components during the transcoding phase, coupled with just-in-time packaging and our custom ad stitching technology that generates unique manifests for each user session, targeting both HLS and MPEG-DASH formats.

We are in search of a passionate Video Software Engineer to enhance and refine our playback architecture. As part of a small, agile team, you will engage in experimentation and determination to drive improvements in playback quality and its business implications. You will have the autonomy to explore various technologies and delve deep into the system. Whether it involves debugging in Chromium, contributing to open-source initiatives like Shaka Player, or devising innovative methods to enhance our players, you will identify and implement the most impactful changes.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Take ownership of the playback quality across all devices streaming Philo content.
  • Design, develop, deploy, and monitor the next generation of Philo's content streaming frontend infrastructure.
  • Lead ongoing enhancements to the reliability, performance, latency, and security of Philo's streaming platforms, utilizing both proprietary technology and, when necessary, contributing to open-source projects.
  • Ensure comprehensive measurement and optimization of every aspect of our content delivery process and the quality of user viewing experiences (QoE).
Required Qualifications:
  • 8+ years of experience in software development.
  • Proficient in integrating video players, including but not limited to Shaka, media3/Exoplayer, and AVPlayer.
  • Familiarity with streaming protocols such as MPEG-DASH, HLS, MPEG TS, fMP4, CMAF, Zixi, and SRT.
  • Knowledgeable in CDN configuration, video stream transcoding and packaging, and DRM processes, with the ability to independently troubleshoot and enhance overall system performance.
  • Understanding of Server-Side Ad Insertion (SSAI).
  • Demonstrated experience in building efficient and feature-rich web, Android, and/or iOS applications using JavaScript/TypeScript, Kotlin, or Swift.
  • Willingness to learn new technologies and programming languages to meet application needs related to playback and telemetry.
  • Experience handling large datasets to prioritize projects, assess impact, and navigate complex problem spaces.
  • Able to identify when a backend solution is necessary and effectively communicate requirements to backend engineers.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Active contributor to significant open-source video streaming projects (e.g., Shaka, Bento, ffmpeg/libav, media3/Exoplayer).
