Rust Jobs for Rustaceans

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, deploy, maintain, and support backend media processing and packaging services - with a sharp eye on performance, scalability, and maintainability.
• Work primarily with Rust, Python, and a bit of Java, leveraging C/C++ libraries - all running smoothly in Google Kubernetes Engine.
• Take operational ownership of your team’s services, including participating in an on-call rotation (because you care about what you build).
• Dive deep into media technologies and optimize video/audio processing
• Collaborate with a dedicated team of media tech enthusiasts who think reading a 200-page ISO specification is a good day.

Who You Are:

• Fluent in systems-level engineering (think highly-optimized, cross-platform C/C++ libraries).
• Experience in media formats, codecs (audio & video), containers - and you love knowing why they work the way they do.
• Worked with open Source tools like FFmpeg (and yes, we mean libav*), Shaka Packager, and friends.
• Experienced in data structures, algorithms, CPUs, caches, RAM and how to leverage them to maximize performance.
• Has experience building high-throughput networking services that don’t flinch under load.
• You get a thrill from optimizing media delivery - whether that’s tweaking transcoding pipelines, improving playback start times, or debating progressive download vs adaptive HTTP streaming.
• You’re comfy in Linux environments and know your way around container-based infrastructure.
• You care about the craft of software engineering: continuous delivery, defensive programming, automated testing, and writing code your future self will thank you for.
• You’re curious, always keeping up with the latest in media codecs and high-performance backend trends.
• Bonus points if you’ve contributed to Open Source media projects, compiled your own FFmpeg, or can explain why pixels aren’t always square.
• You architect, design, develop, test, and maintain reliable, high-throughput backend services.

Where You´ll Be:

• This role is based in Stockholm or London.
• We offer you the flexibility to work where you work best! There will be some in person meetings, but still allows for flexibility to work from home.
