What are the responsibilities and job description for the Software Engineer, Video Processing position at Veo?
Veo is a global leader in AI-based sports camera technology. Our innovative, fully automatic camera solution enables sports teams to record matches and training sessions without a camera operator. We’re democratizing the world of sports by granting video analysis for teams on all levels—a privilege that used to be only for the few. More than 40,000 clubs in 90 countries record their games every week.
But what truly sets us apart? Our people. We’re a diverse group of innovative thinkers, creators, and problem-solvers who believe in delivering an incredible product—and having fun while doing it.
The Opportunity
Our cameras capture multiple high-resolution sensor streams in real time. The Video team builds the processing pipeline that turns those raw streams into the stable, stitched, analysis-ready video our customers rely on — and that our AI, coaching, highlights, and cloud products build on top of.
You’ll work on one of the most technically challenging parts of the Veo stack: real-time video processing across embedded devices and cloud environments, using GStreamer, in-house plugins, GPU acceleration, CUDA, and Vulkan compute shaders.
This is not a role far away from the product. It is right in the middle of the value chain, where camera hardware, firmware, video processing, AI, and customer experience meet. The work is deeply technical, highly visible, and directly connected to the quality of every recording Veo delivers.
\n- Design, build, and maintain real-time video processing pipelines using GStreamer in embedded and cloud environments.
- Contribute to GPU-accelerated video processing algorithms (e.g., CUDA and Vulkan compute shaders).
- Improve video quality, robustness, latency, synchronization, keyframe handling, and failure recovery.
- Build CI-friendly testsuites, reproducible builds, and debugging tools that make complex media pipelines easier to develop and operate.
- Collaborate closely with firmware, camera, AI, platform, and cloud teams to ensure the video stack integrates cleanly and ships reliably.
- Help shape the long-term architecture of Veo’s video processing stack as our cameras, algorithms, and product ambitions evolve.
You do not need to match every item below. We are looking for strong engineers who enjoy difficult systems problems and want to learn deeply.
You’ll likely thrive in this role if you have experience with some of the following:
- Experience with GPU programming and compute shaders (Vulkan and/or NVIDIA/CUDA)
- Knowledge of video processing, computer vision and/or media pipelines, especially GStreamer (elements, caps negotiation, debugging, plugin development).
- Solid software engineering fundamentals: architecture, APIs, testing, observability, and maintainable systems.
- Proficiency in one or more of the languages we commonly use around the stack (depending on area): Rust / C / Python / Slang.
- Comfortable working in Linux environments and with build systems/tooling used in native code projects (e.g., Meson/Ninja-based workflows).
- Media stack: GStreamer in-house GStreamer plugins
- Plugin development: includes Rust-based plugins and Rust↔C/C interop patterns (bindgen/FFI)
- Build & packaging: Meson/Ninja workflows; Debian packaging and Docker-based dev/build flows
- GPU acceleration: CUDA and Vulkan
- Environments: Docker/Kubernetes, Embedded Linux (Yocto)
Our Copenhagen office mirrors our innovative technology – with an indoor ball court, rooftop terrace, and well-equipped gym. We have created a facility that supports connecting disciplines across the business, facilitates creative thinking, and gives the space to engage with colleagues, our global partners, and the entire Veo community.
Values we hold at Veo:
Dare - We take initiative, stay curious, and challenge the status quo in our work.
Own it - We drive impact by identifying opportunities, taking responsibility, and confidently executing.
Level up - We embrace growth, continuously learning and shaping our skills.
Play as a team - We collaborate across a diverse organization, leveraging shared insights for stronger outcomes.
Customer Centric - We deliver value by having close partnerships and a deep understanding of our customers (internally and externally)
We value diversity and inclusion and welcome applicants from all backgrounds, even if your experience doesn’t completely match every qualification listed. What matters most is your creativity, potential, and ability to contribute meaningfully.
