Role Overview

Software Engineer – Video Pipelines

designs and AI workflows into production-ready video systems

Key Responsibilities

Video Pipeline Engineering

  • Build and maintain 

    video ingestion, decoding, encoding, and transcoding

     pipelines for VoD and Live systems.
  • Integrate 

    adaptive bitrate streaming

     (HLS, DASH) into delivery pipelines.
  • Work with 

    FFmpeg, GStreamer, NVIDIA Video Codec SDK, and VAAPI

     to implement efficient video processing components.
  • Ensure pipeline compatibility with multiple 

    codecs and containers

     (H.264/H.265, AV1, VP9, MP4, MKV, TS).

Video Modification Modules

  • Implement 

    frame-accurate transformations

     such as redaction (face/voice blurring), reframing, auto-zoom, and overlays.
  • Build timeline-aware components that align 

    scene metadata with video streams

     for precise modifications.
  • Optimize GPU-accelerated filters for 

    real-time and batch processing

    .

Performance & Scalability

  • Profile and tune pipelines for 

    low-latency live streaming

     and 

    high-throughput VoD workflows

    .
  • Contribute to 

    scaling strategies

     for large video libraries and live event workloads.
  • Optimize for 

    cloud cost efficiency

     while maintaining reliability.

Collaboration & Execution

  • Work with senior engineers to 

    translate designs into production components

    .
  • Collaborate with AI teams to integrate 

    model outputs into video pipelines

     (e.g., scene tagging, redaction cues).
  • Participate in 

    code reviews, testing, and deployment automation

    .

Qualifications

Must-Have

  • 2–5 years of experience in 

    video pipeline or multimedia systems engineering

    .
  • Strong coding skills in 

    C++ and/or Python

    .
  • Hands-on experience with 

    FFmpeg, GStreamer, libx264/x265, NVENC/DEC

    .
  • Understanding of 

    video codecs and streaming protocols

     (H.264/H.265, VP9, AV1, HLS, DASH, RTMP).
  • Familiarity with 

    GPU acceleration

     (CUDA, NVENC/DEC, VAAPI, or equivalent).

Nice-to-Have

  • Exposure to 

    cloud-native deployments

     (AWS/GCP/Azure, Docker, Kubernetes).
  • Experience in 

    real-time video editing or transformation pipelines

    .
  • Familiarity with 

    timeline-based metadata, content retrieval, or AI-driven video modifications

    .
  • Knowledge of 

    adaptive streaming and edge delivery optimizations

    .
