About the Position

We are looking for a seasoned Real-Time Streaming Application Engineer to join our client’s innovative team. You’ll be responsible for designing, building, and maintaining high-performance audio/video streaming applications using modern, high-level APIs. This role is 100% remote and offers the chance to work with bleeding-edge streaming platforms on large-scale, mission-critical products.


Responsibilities

  • Architect, develop, and deploy real-time audio/video streaming applications using high-level SDKs and APIs.
  • Integrate and customize streaming solutions built on Pipecat, Daily.co, LiveKit, VideoSDK, GStreamer, Jitsi, and Janus WebRTC.
  • Implement robust signaling channels and data paths via WebSockets and native WebRTC APIs.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (product, UX, backend) to define streaming requirements and deliver reliable user experiences.
  • Troubleshoot, debug, and optimize end-to-end media pipelines at the application layer.
  • Write clean, maintainable Python code leveraging libraries (e.g., aiortc) for server-side logic and automation.
  • Ensure code quality with unit/integration tests, CI/CD pipelines, and documentation.


Requirements

  • 5+ years of professional experience building real-time audio/video streaming applications at the application level.
  • Hands-on expertise with high-level streaming platforms: Pipecat, Daily.co, LiveKit, VideoSDK, GStreamer, Jitsi, and/or Janus WebRTC.
  • Deep knowledge of WebSockets and WebRTC protocols and browser APIs.
  • Strong proficiency in Python and Python-based streaming libraries (e.g., aiortc, aiohttp).
  • Demonstrated ability to deliver production-grade code without needing C++-level media optimization.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail when working in distributed, low-latency systems.
  • Effective communication in English and experience working in remote, collaborative teams.


Nice To Have

  • Prior experience with WebTransport and/or WebCodecs indicating lower-level streaming proficiency.
  • Machine Learning (ML) background, especially in computer vision or audio processing, to enhance future feature sets.
  • Familiarity with TURN/STUN servers (e.g., coturn), and media servers (e.g., Kurento, Janus plugins).
  • Cloud deployment experience (AWS/GCP/Azure) for scalable streaming backends.
