Responsibilities
- Improving video quality and latency in poor network conditions
- Optimizing the client library to improve streaming performance and reduce latency

- Deep knowledge of networking, and real world experience with dealing with the unpredictability and variability of the internet (e.g., packet loss, latency, bandwidth estimation, FEC)
- Have the user in mind with all the work that you do
- Experience with C/C
- Academic background in Computer Science or a related field
- Are a strong communicator. Explaining complex technical concepts to designers, support, and other engineers is no problem for you
