  • 3+ years of full software development life cycle experience, including coding standards and testing
  • Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent
  • Experience working on a consumer hardware or software product
  • 1+ years tooling or development work associated with consumer devices

Responsibilities

  • Build intelligent monitoring and detection systems that identify video and audio defects at scale before they reach customers
  • Develop tooling for rapid reproduction of production issues across device, content, and feature permutations
  • Own services end-to-end from architecture and implementation through deployment and operations
  • Work on challenging problems in device emulation, streaming protocol validation, and quality of experience measurement
