• Write maintainable, well-tested, and idiomatic Go.
• Participate in code reviews and improve engineering practices.

What We're Looking For:

• 2+ years of professional software engineering experience.

• Good understanding of Go concurrency — goroutines, channels, mutexes, and context.
• Good networking fundamentals, including TCP/IP, HTTP/HTTPS, TCP vs. UDP, DNS, TLS, timeouts, retries, and connection management, along with a basic understanding of NAT, latency, and packet loss.
• Understanding of backend and distributed systems concepts.
• Experience building and debugging production services.

• Familiarity with Prometheus, Grafana, or similar monitoring tools.
• Exposure to edge or IoT systems.
• Experience working on networking-heavy applications.
• Exposure to video streaming or media systems.
• Familiarity with RTSP, WebRTC, HLS, or RTMP.
• Experience with FFmpeg, GStreamer, or MediaMTX.

How We Work:

• We use Microsoft Teams for daily communication, including standups and team meetings.
• Our culture values open discussion, ownership, and a founder’s mindset.
• We prioritize exceptional design, UI/UX, thorough documentation, clear to-do lists, and data-driven decision-making.
• Team bonding is encouraged through bi-monthly townhalls, destressing sessions with a certified healer, and biannual company retreats.
• We offer a fully remote workplace, comprehensive health insurance, attractive equity options for top performers, mental health consultations, company-sponsored upskilling courses, designated growth hours, 40 hours annually for community causes, and access to a financial advisor.
