THE CHALLENGE AHEAD As a Senior Software Engineer on our Video Recognition/ Livestream team, you will be building our real-time content analysis platform.

Bonus: CDK (or CloudFormation) Backend and APIs: You've built or operated REST (or similar) services, understand idempotency and validation, and care about latency, errors, and compatibility. Comfort with media/streaming: Experience with live streaming (e.g. HLS), ffmpeg, or audio/video pipelines is a plus. Willingness to learn is essential. ML/LLM integration: You've integrated third-party ML or LLM APIs (e.g. OpenAI) into production systems—prompting, retries, rate limits, and structuring outputs. Experience with content classification is a plus. Ownership and collaboration: You can own a slice of the system end-to-end, propose tradeoffs, and work closely with one other engineer (pairing, code review, and clear communication). WHAT WILL SET YOU APART (nice To Have) Experience with content safety, ad tech, or taxonomy/classification systems (e.g. GARM, IAB). Data pipeline or analytics experience (batch/streaming ETL, schema design for analytics). OpenAPI codegen, API design, or multi-tenant/org-scoped systems.
