Our Video Streaming team develops core streaming functionality for embedded IoT gateways and smart camera platforms – systems designed to receive streams from multiple connected devices, manage secure local storage, and deliver low-latency live views and playback to client applications. We work with modern C++, building and scaling the media pipeline, handling stream ingestion, local recording, and protocol support (RTSP, ONVIF, WebRTC). You will join a focused, high-caliber team consisting of a Tech Lead and a Core Engineer working closely together in a cross-location setup, with English as our primary language of communication.

As a core Engineer on the streaming team, you will collaborate closely with the Tech Lead to architect and implement core components of the platform's media pipeline, from multi-camera stream ingestion to intelligent local recording and secure cloud delivery. You will take full ownership of your technical domain, drive architectural decisions, and write high-performance C++ code on embedded Linux. This role is ideal for someone looking for high impact and autonomy in a lean team, eager to tackle real-time media and networking challenges on constrained hardware.

Responsibilities

  • Design and implement high-performance, embedded video streaming solutions in C++ for commercial smart camera and IoT deployment solutions.
  • Develop and maintain robust media pipeline components: multi-camera ingestion, local recording rotation logic, storage management, and video delivery.
  • Integrate and support industry-standard streaming protocols (RTSP, WebRTC, ONVIF) for both first-party PoE cameras and third-party devices.
  • Optimize real-time media processing on resource-constrained embedded Linux hardware to ensure low latency, high throughput, and concurrency across multiple simultaneous high-bitrate streams.
  • Investigate and resolve streaming quality issues through the analysis of device metrics, logs, and network conditions.
  • Collaborate with App, Firmware, and AI teams to define streaming interfaces and ensure seamless end-to-end data flows.
  • Participate actively in Agile processes, including sprint planning, comprehensive code reviews, and architectural discussions.
  • Write and maintain clear technical documentation for designed and implemented solutions.
