Job requirements
  • Job Title: Senior Multimedia / Media Engineer (FFmpeg Specialist) Job Summary We are seeking a skilled and technical Multimedia Engineer with deep expertise in FFmpeg and digital media pipelines. In this role, you will design, build, optimize, and maintain automated audio and video encoding, transcoding, and streaming systems. You will work closely with software developers, product teams, and content operations to ensure high-performance, low-latency, and cross-platform media delivery. Key Responsibilities Media Pipeline Development: Design, implement, and maintain scalable video/audio processing and transcoding workflows using FFmpeg and related multimedia frameworks. Encoding & Optimization: Configure and optimize video/audio codecs (e.g., H.264, H.265/HEVC, AV1, AAC, Opus) for various bitrates, resolutions, and target devices. Automation & Scripting: Write robust scripts (Python, Bash, Go, etc.) to automate batch processing, quality control (QC), and ingestion pipelines. Streaming & Protocols: Work with live and VOD streaming protocols such as HLS, DASH, RTMP, and WebRTC. Troubleshooting & Performance Tuning: Diagnose and resolve complex multimedia issues related to sync, frame drops, container formats, metadata handling, and hardware acceleration (e.g., NVENC, Intel QSV, VAAPI). Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with product, QA, and frontend/backend engineering teams to integrate media capabilities into core applications and infrastructure. Required Qualifications Technical Experience: 3+ years of experience in software engineering, broadcast engineering, or digital media pipelines. FFmpeg Mastery: Deep, hands-on experience using FFmpeg via CLI and C/C++ or scripting APIs for custom encoding, filtering, muxing, demuxing, and transcoding. Format & Codec Knowledge: Solid understanding of digital video/audio standards, container formats (MP4, MKV, TS, MOV), and compression algorithms (H.264, HEVC, AV1, VP9). Operating Systems: Proficiency in Linux/Unix environments, including shell scripting and server-side deployment. Programming Skills: Experience with at least one scripting or programming language (Python, Bash, C++, or JavaScript/Node.js) for tool automation. Preferred Qualification Experience with cloud media services (AWS MediaConvert, Elemental, Google Cloud Platform, or Azure Media Services). Knowledge of DRM (Digital Rights Management) technologies, subtitle/caption handling (WebVTT, SRT, CEA-708), and metadata standards. Familiarity with containerization and orchestration tools (Docker, Kubernetes) in CI/CD environments. BS/MS in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field.
