About this role

This senior backend engineering role sits in the group responsible for the recording and streaming foundation of a cloud video platform. The team develops and continuously modernizes the core infrastructure that connects cameras, viewers, and other IoT devices, supporting a large and mission-critical video service.

The work includes re-architecting existing systems, designing services for cloud recording at million-device scale, optimizing server costs, reducing live playback latency, supporting protocols such as HLS, MPEG-DASH, and WebRTC, and developing camera and viewer APIs. The environment uses Go, Python, Java, AWS, MySQL, Redis, PostgreSQL, Terraform, Ansible, Prometheus, Grafana, GitHub Actions, Docker, and related tools. A leadership track also includes mentoring a 5–6-person team and managing development projects while continuing hands-on engineering.

Applicants must have experience developing and operating backend systems for web services. Experience with Python or Go, PaaS-based development such as AWS, large-scale backend systems, video delivery technologies, or databases is welcomed but not required.
