About this role

Streaming Infrastructure Engineer for the Niconico business at Dwango, supporting the delivery-platform systems behind Niconico Douga and Niconico Live (one of Japan's largest video services). The team renewed the legacy on-premise delivery platform into a cloud-native architecture (video-delivery platform fully migrated March 2024, live-delivery migration underway from February 2025) and continues to improve latency, stability and new features.

Example duties include designing, developing and operating server-side video-delivery system components and features, designing/building/operating infrastructure with Kubernetes and AWS, validating video-delivery and other technologies, integration support for Niconico Douga/Live, night-time incident response, and log-based aggregation/analysis. The stack is Go, Kubernetes and AWS (EC2, EKS, Aurora MySQL, DocumentDB, SQS), AWS CDK for provisioning, and Prometheus/Grafana/CloudWatch for monitoring. Remote work and discretionary-labor are available. Employment is full-time. The posting is in Japanese.
