2 months ago
At Philo, we are a collective of innovators and product specialists dedicated to revolutionizing the television landscape by integrating cutting-edge technology with the most engaging medium ever created. Our mission is to construct the television experience we have always envisioned for ourselves. This involves utilizing cloud-based delivery, contemporary technology stacks, machine learning, and meticulously crafted native applications across all platforms. We strive to provide a robust experience on streaming essentials while developing next-generation multi-screen and multi-user playback functionalities.
Senior Video Playback Software EngineerPhilo's video streaming architecture is extensively distributed, horizontally scalable, and leverages cloud computing to manage video delivery that constitutes a small fraction 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 in-house developed video pipeline ingests both live and on-demand content, dynamically integrates advertisements into video streams through Server-Side Ad Insertion (SSAI), and efficiently delivers them to our expanding user base at an exabyte scale. We employ leading commercial and open-source components during the transcoding phase, combined with just-in-time packaging and our proprietary ad stitching technology that generates unique manifests targeting both HLS and MPEG-DASH on a per-user, per-session basis.
We are in search of a passionate Video Software Engineer to assist in enhancing and optimizing our playback stack. Our compact team thrives on experimentation and determination to improve the playback experience and its impact on business outcomes. You will have the autonomy to explore various technologies and delve deep into the stack. Whether it's troubleshooting an issue in Chromium, contributing to open-source initiatives like Shaka Player, or discovering innovative methods to instrument our players, you will identify the most significant enhancements and validate their effectiveness.
Key Responsibilities:- Take ownership of the application-driven playback quality across all devices streaming Philo content.
- Design, implement, launch, and monitor the next generation of Philo's content streaming frontend infrastructure.
- Drive 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 facet of our content delivery process and the quality of our users' viewing experience (QoE).
- 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 highly efficient and feature-rich web, Android, and/or iOS applications using JavaScript/TypeScript, Kotlin, or Swift.
- Willingness to learn new technologies and languages to meet application needs related to playback and telemetry.
- Experience managing large datasets to prioritize projects, assess impact, and navigate complex problem spaces.
- Able to discern when a problem necessitates a backend solution and effectively communicate requirements to backend engineers.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Active contributor to a significant open-source video streaming project (e.g., Shaka, Bento, ffmpeg/libav, media3/Exoplayer).
Status: Full-time
Location: Remote options available
Compensation: Competitive salary, stock options, and comprehensive health benefits.
Philo values diversity and inclusivity in the workplace, welcoming individuals from various backgrounds, experiences, skills, and perspectives. We are an equal opportunity employer, believing that everyone performs their best work when supported by their peers and the organization. We offer a generous benefits package to ensure the well-being of the Philo team.
