San Francisco, United States Mux Full time

About Mux

Mux is video for developers. Our mission is to democratize video by solving the hard problems developers face when building video: video encoding and streaming (Mux Video), video monitoring (Mux Data), and more. Video is a huge part of people’s lives, and we want to help make it better.

We’re committed to building a healthy team that welcomes a diverse range of backgrounds and experiences. We want people who care about our mission, are ready to grow, believe in our values (from Be Human to Turn Customers Into Fans), and want to make the people around them better.

You’ll be joining a tight-knit team with experience at places like Google, YouTube, Twitch, Zencoder, Fastly, and more. Our founders previously started (and sold) Zencoder, an early leader in cloud video technology, and authored Video.js, the biggest HTML5 video player on the web. We organize Demuxed, the premiere conference for video engineers in the world. 

We’re backed by top investors like Coatue, Accel, Andreessen Horowitz, and Y Combinator. You’ll get to work with amazing companies: hundreds of startups, plus Reddit, Vimeo, Robinhood, CBSi, Discovery, PBS, and TED. Customers large and small love working with us and love our team.

We are building something big together. We’d love to hear from you

About the Role

As a Staff/Senior Software Engineer at Mux, you will play a key role in building Mux’s next-generation Video products that power delightful user experiences for millions worldwide.

  • Work cross-functionally with product, customer success, and other engineering teams to execute on product and business strategy and build cutting-edge products that our customers will love.
  • Contribute to the full development cycle: technical design, development, test, experimentation, analysis, and launch. You’ll be reviewing code and design docs, giving feedback on product specs, and be involved in running your code.
  • Take accountability for the delivery of projects, both as a hands-on contributor & architect, as well as a facilitator.
  • Bring ideas and directly influence your team's roadmap, collaborating closely with cross-functional stakeholders. 
  • Build & promote best-practices in your team for availability, reliability, and production readiness.

  • Expertise in building & operating distributed systems, microservices, and globally-available systems at scale, including best-practices for availability, reliability, caching, and deployment.
  • A track record of writing high-quality, maintainable code across multiple services & team boundaries.
  • Solid operational experience with Kubernetes, monitoring tools (we use Grafana & Prometheus), databases (we use CockroachDB, Clickhouse, & Redis) and data streaming technologies (we use Kafka & Flink).
  • Experience using CDNs like Cloudflare or Fastly.
  • Excellent communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills.
  • Experience working with Media & Video, specifically, is a plus, but not required
