About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Design, develop, optimize, and debug C++ software for ultra low-latency streaming systems
Implement WebRTC and related real-time protocols and congestion-control algorithms from the ground up, working directly from specifications
Identify gaps in existing standards and develop solutions through protocol design, reference implementations, and contributions to IETF Internet-Drafts and RFCs
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
Build next-generation applications with media and data streaming capabilities

Requirements

What you’ll need

Deep working knowledge of WebRTC architecture and internals
Hands-on experience across the transport, security, and media path — ICE, STUN/TURN, DTLS-SRTP, SCTP data channels, and RTP/RTCP with the feedback loop that drives pacing and bandwidth estimation
8+ years of experience developing, optimizing, and debugging C++ software
Master’s degree in Computer Science or Electrical Engineering, or equivalent experience
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
Contributions to open-source real-time media projects or IETF/W3C standards work are advantageous
Experience with video codecs and formats such as H.264/AVC, H.265/HEVC, AV1, color spaces, or hardware-accelerated encode/decode is advantageous
Background with QNX, QNX Safety, Linux, or embedded operating systems for safety-critical platforms is advantageous
Experience with automotive software, telematics, connected vehicle platforms, or car connectivity is advantageous
