What We Are Looking For

• 5+ years of commercial experience in embedded development.
• 2–3+ years of direct hands-on experience with video/audio streaming.
• Strong C and C++ development skills; C++ is the primary language, with C also used in the project.
• Commercial experience with Embedded Linux - mandatory.
• Hands-on experience with streaming frameworks such as GStreamer, FFmpeg, WebRTC, or similar - mandatory.
• Proven experience with real-time, low-latency video streaming on resource-constrained devices.
• Strong networking background, including TCP/IP, UDP/TCP, VoIP, and Video over IP.
• Experience troubleshooting streaming and networking issues in embedded environments.
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to identify root causes.
• Good written and spoken English.

Nice to Have

• Experience with H.264/H.265 video streaming pipelines.
• Exposure to media codecs and video quality optimization.
• Experience with Python.
