What you’ll be doing:

  • Design, develop, optimize, and debug C++ software for ultra low-latency streaming systems.

  • Build and improve media streaming pipelines using technologies such as WebRTC, GStreamer, RTP/RTCP, and related protocols.

  • Analyze CPU, memory, networking, media pipeline, and scheduling behavior across real-world workloads.

  • Work across Windows, Linux, QNX, applications frameworks, and embedded platforms.

  • Define and implement KPIs for networking quality, streaming quality, and user experience.

  • Integrate streaming software with platform services, connectivity layers, and/or automotive system components.

What we need to see:

  • Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent experience.

  • 8+ years of proven experience in C++ software development, optimization, and debugging.

  • Strong understanding of operating systems, multithreading, memory management, networking, and systems programming. 

  • Ability to debug complex issues across software, OS, media pipelines, platform, and hardware boundaries.

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a self-motivated approach.

  • In-depth knowledge of WebRTC architecture, peer connection lifecycle, ICE handshake, and real-time protocols (SRTP, DTLS-SRTP, SCTP).

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

  • Hands-on experience with streaming protocols and technologies such as RTP, WebRTC, WebSockets, and QUIC. 

  • Experience with video codecs and formats such as H.264/AVC, H.265/HEVC, AV1, color spaces, or hardware-accelerated encode/decode. 

  • Experience with QNX, QNX Safety, Linux, or embedded operating systems for safety-critical platforms is a strong plus. 

  • Experience with automotive software, telematics, connected vehicle platforms, infotainment, or car connectivity.
