C++ Software Engineer

Overview

Our platform is the video platform built for live, social and mobile. The cloud-based platform removes the traditional complexities of professional video production and distribution. Our platform works with the world’s largest broadcasters and rights holders, with integrations to major social platforms. We are also a preferred global partner for Facebook Live. Amazon Web Services is our main hosting provider. Every product of the platform is architected and built for scalability and high availability for a global client base.

We believe that hiring smart graduates or junior engineers and nurturing them into our culture is the key to our successful growth. You’ll pair with a mentor on your first day, who will answer technical questions daily and coach you on your career progression with regular performance evaluations.

We are dedicated to making sure you are happy and committed during your time with us. You will be responsible for the products you build end to end: from design and architecture to releasing, supporting and monitoring in production. This strategy has helped us retain talent and develop senior engineers who began as graduates.

Being social is a huge part of our family. We like to have fun together and provide activities to help in this area. If technology gets you going in the morning, you are in the right place!
