C++ Video Streaming Engineer

Team Summary

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.

Job Summary

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 and Duties

• 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.
  
  

Qualifications And Skills

• 5+ years of commercial experience in embedded systems development.
• Deep proficiency in С++ and C.
• Solid practical experience with UDP/TCP-based communication and networking systems.
• Hands-on experience with RTP/RTCP streaming applications and widely used media frameworks (e.g., GStreamer).
• Experience developing and supporting applications for Linux-based (user space) embedded systems and/or RTOS.
• Strong understanding of video and audio encoding technologies, memory management, and memory layout principles.
• Good knowledge of the TCP/IP stack and Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN).
• Basic understanding of embedded system security and data encryption principles.
• Strong alignment with modern Software Development Principles and full lifecycle development cycles.
• Familiarity with development tools: Jira, Confluence, Git, Docker, VS Code / Cursor.
• At least an Upper-Intermediate level in both written and spoken English (B2).
  
  

Nice to have

• Practical experience with media codecs such as H.264, HEVC, AV1, and OPUS.
• Hands-on experience with WebRTC, FFmpeg, and the MP4 container format.
• Knowledge of camera hardware features and image processing.
• Experience with multi-core and multi-chip system architectures.
• Strong understanding of SOLID, Clean Code principles, and UML.
• Experience leveraging AI tools (Cursor, Copilot, etc.) to optimize the development workflow.
