Livestream is searching for Media Engineers to help us build a flexible and scalable video streaming platform. This is an opportunity to focus on the particular challenge of live video (buffers on both ends!), and make a resounding impact on the core feature of our business.

Our ideal candidate has prior video engineering experience, having tackled packaging, transcoding, processing pipelines, or similar. They'll apply this experience to the latency demands and distribution needs of live video, iterating on the entire pipeline from ingest to playback. And since video tech moves fast, they'll also stay current by building prototypes and exploring new ideas.
