About this Role

We're looking for a Video DevOps Engineer with deep experience in building and maintaining low-latency streaming platforms. In this role, you'll work across media servers, network optimization, and infrastructure orchestration, enabling a highly available, scalable video delivery pipeline. You'll collaborate with engineers across DevOps, backend and media streaming to ensure seamless ingest, encoding, and distribution of video content—from edge compute nodes to global audiences.

If you're passionate about building robust streaming systems and enjoy fine-tuning performance at both the media and infrastructure level, we want to hear from you.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, configure and maintain Wowza Streaming Engine, including adaptive bitrate streaming and transcoding profiles
• Optimize video encoding pipelines using FFmpeg and GPU/CPU resources (e.g. NVENC)
• Implement low-latency streaming setups and best practices (HLS/DASH)
• Administer Linux servers (Ubuntu/Debian), manage services, automate tasks with shell scripting
• Monitor system performance with Prometheus/Grafana or similar tools
• Configure Fastly CDN, manage cache control headers and optimize edge delivery
• Secure streaming infrastructure (NAT, firewalls, stream access permissions)
• Support high-throughput network environments, including LAN tuning, NIC bonding, and remote access setups (e.g. Tailscale, Zerotier)

Required Skills

• Strong experience with video streaming protocols (RTMP, RTSP, HLS, DASH)
• Hands-on experience with Wowza, FFmpeg, and GPU-based encoding
• Proficiency in Linux administration and network stack tuning
• Experience managing bare metal or edge compute systems
• Familiarity with Fastly CDN or similar (VCL is a strong plus)
• Experience with disk/network I/O optimization, service automation, and system provisioning

Bonus Points (Nice to Have)

• Experience with OBS, WebRTC, WebSockets
• Familiarity with Docker, Ansible
• Ability to write internal tools using Python or Go
• Experience analyzing CDN logs and bandwidth optimization
