You will be joining the Android Engineering team at Sony LIV as a Senior Staff Engineer with a focus on individual contribution. In this role, you will play a key part in delivering rich, real-time video experiences at scale. Your main responsibilities will include working on complex problems related to media playback, performance optimization, modular app architectures, and influencing engineering practices within the team. A significant aspect of your role will involve leading the development of advanced media playback capabilities using ExoPlayer/Media3, covering various aspects such as VOD, Live, DRM, and offline playback. Additionally, you will be responsible for designing and maintaining robust, modular app architectures to facilitate scalability and clean feature delivery. Driving deep performance optimizations across memory, app startup, playback, and rendering pipelines will also be a crucial part of your responsibilities. You will be expected to contribute as a technical anchor in multi-team initiatives, collaborating with product, design, backend, and other platform leads. Setting best practices for modern Android development, conducting high-quality code reviews, mentoring other engineers, and evolving engineering standards at Sony LIV will also be part of your role. Building with observability and resilience in mind by incorporating tagging, telemetry, analytics, crash protection, and CI will be essential. To be successful in this role, you should have 9-12 years of Android development experience with hands-on expertise in Kotlin, ExoPlayer/Media3, and system-level debugging. A strong foundation in Android internals, custom views/rendering pipelines, and background processing patterns is required. Additionally, you should possess a solid understanding of streaming protocols, DRM, adaptive playback, architecture patterns, Jetpack libraries, and Dependency Injection. Experience with CI/CD, crash/ANR tools, A/B testing, and feature rollout strategies will be beneficial. Having experience with Android TV, Chromecast, or large-screen playback, exposure to low-latency live streaming, sports broadcasting, or time-shifted playback, knowledge of advanced media formats, and contributions to open-source Android libraries or playback tech would be considered advantageous. Join Sony LIV and be a part of Sony Pictures Networks, home to leading entertainment channels in India. Sony LIV is one of the most promising streaming platforms that aims to become a progressive digitally-led content powerhouse. As part of an inclusive and equitable workplace, you will have the opportunity to work with a diverse team embracing the "Bring Your Own Self" Philosophy. Sony has been recognized as one of the best companies to work for, providing an empowering and rewarding work environment where employees can tell stories beyond the ordinary.,
