Because we’re all about live, our service experiences demand spikes of several orders of magnitude, requires managing petabytes of storage and gigabits/s of transit. You will be in the thick of solving the challenges of systems at scale in a way most engineers never experience.

A successful candidate for this role will have strong analytical and troubleshooting skills, deep understanding of Linux kernel and IPv4 networking, fluency in coding, strong communication skills, insatiable intellectual curiosity, and a desire to tackle the complex problems related to real-time streaming.
