About the Role
You will have an interest in video and compression technology, along with mobile and desktop system-level development. You are proactive, curious, and comfortable contributing to wide-ranging technical discussions. You enjoy solving practical integration problems, communicating clearly, and working with a multi-skilled team to turn new technology into reliable product experiences.
Responsibilities
- Develop and maintain C/C++ integrations for LCEVC and VC-6 encoder and decoder technologies.
- Integrate codec SDKs into media frameworks, players, and encoding systems, with a primary focus on FFmpeg and GStreamer. The wider team also supports integrations including AndroidX Media3/ExoPlayer, Apple media frameworks, web players, Chromium, and WebRTC.
- Investigate interoperability, performance, and platform-specific issues across operating systems, devices, and third-party applications.
- Work with encoder and decoder teams to improve the core integration layers and APIs.
- Create tests, sample applications, and clear integration documentation that help customers and partners adopt the technology.
- Contribute changes upstream and work constructively with open-source communities where appropriate.
- Collaborate with colleagues and external engineering teams to scope work, communicate progress, and deliver integrations to production.
