Everybody wants to stream videos as fast as possible. To achieve that, you need advanced technology. Not in your phone, laptop or other device, but in the program behind it. And that needs your expertise.

Tell me more…

Usually, when you watch a live video, there’s tons of latency and it doesn’t work as smooth as you would expect. People don’t think about it often, but a high-quality, fast streaming interactive video is not as obvious as we think. But with the right techniques, services and, most of all, people, the next generation of video streaming has arrived.
This company creates possibilities for video streaming that’s beyond our usual wacky expectations of video streaming. Watching a video in high quality and with the lowest latency is possible thanks to this program. In addition, they offer the possibility to add audience interaction, real-time analytics, shopping and more for the best experience possible.

That sounds as a place for me! How can I contribute?

As a senior encoder developer, you will take the lead in the design and development of Livery’s Video encoder. Your work will ensure that video is encoded as efficiently as possible while continuously trying to decrease the time the encoding process takes. The encoder also does the packaging and delivers the CMAF segments to the CDN. The encoder is deployed to on-prem hardware and on AWS.

And how senior do I have to be?

With your over 4 years of C development experience, this is a nice next step for you. CMake, Go and CirleCI are in your back pocket and you know Linux like your own house. You’re familiar with tools like DASH, HLS, H264, VP9 and your knowledge of MP4 would be a pre. You are able to make important technical decisions based on data and can create high-quality code consistently.

Allright, but what’s in it for me?

The senior role you have is to be seen in your pay cheque. The yearly salary of up to €85.000 isn’t even everything, because your travel expenses to the office in Amsterdam and gear will be paid for too. Furthermore, you will enjoy a nice lunch, coffee, snacks and fun getaways with your team. If this is the way you want to step up your career, then what’s saying no to that apply button?
