Professionals working with FFmpeg are typically responsible for handling media transcoding, ensuring compatibility across formats, automating processing tasks through scripting, and troubleshooting multimedia conversion issues. They may collaborate closely with development, post-production, and operations teams to optimize video or audio assets for various platforms. Regular responsibilities can also include monitoring processing jobs, quality-checking outputs, and providing technical support to colleagues. This position often offers opportunities to contribute to workflow improvements and adapt to new media technologies, supporting both the creative and technical aspects of media production.
To excel in a role specializing in FFmpeg, you need strong experience in video and audio encoding, command-line usage, and scripting, ideally supported by a technical degree or media technology background. Familiarity with FFmpeg software, multimedia codecs, basic programming (e.g., Bash, Python), and experience working on media processing pipelines are highly valuable. Problem-solving, attention to detail, and effective communication skills set exceptional candidates apart. These abilities are crucial for ensuring efficient, high-quality multimedia processing and smooth collaboration with technical and creative teams.
An FFmpeg job typically involves working with FFmpeg, a powerful open-source multimedia framework used for processing, converting, and streaming audio and video files. Professionals in this field may create automated scripts, optimize media workflows, or develop applications that leverage FFmpeg for encoding, decoding, and transcoding tasks. These roles often require expertise in command-line operations, scripting (such as Bash or Python), and multimedia formats. FFmpeg jobs can be found in industries like broadcasting, video streaming, and digital content production.

About the Role
As a Founding Software Engineer, you will own the core architecture driving our high-throughput, low-latency video and multimodal AI platform. You’ll work directly at the intersection of deep learning, real-time media processing, and distributed GPU infrastructure—turning state-of-the-art models into resilient, production-ready systems handling petabytes of media data.
What You’ll Do
Scale GPU Infra: Architect and manage high-concurrency, low-latency AI inference pipelines using TensorRT, ONNX Runtime, CUDA, or vLLM.
Media Pipelines: Design robust streaming, encoding, and decoding workflows for complex video and audio formats (FFmpeg, WebRTC, GStreamer).
Developer Platform: Build clean, high-performance APIs and SDKs to integrate our multimodal models into client and partner ecosystems.
Productionize Research: Collaborate directly with AI researchers to optimize, package, and deploy frontier generative models into stable microservices.
What We’re Looking For
Core Systems Mastery: 4+ years of production experience in Python, C++, or Rust.
AI/ML Systems: Hands-on experience optimizing and scaling PyTorch models for production GPU workloads.
Media & Async Processing: Deep familiarity with media codecs, streaming protocols, and async backends (Celery, Redis, Kubernetes, AWS/GCP).
Founding Energy: High execution velocity, strong technical ownership, and comfort building from 0-to-1 in a fast-moving startup environment.
Nice to Haves
Experience with multimodal LLMs, vision-language models, or diffusion generative video architectures.
Expertise in multi-cloud GPU resource optimization and cost reduction.
Who We Are & What We Offer
We are a Y Combinator-backed AI infrastructure startup solving the biggest bottleneck in multimodal media: high-throughput video and audio data processing. Our platform powers real-time AI dubbing, generative video tools, and exabyte-scale data curation for leading frontier AI labs.
Comp: Top-of-market base salary ($150k – $250k) + meaningful equity.
Flexibility: Remote / Hybrid autonomy.
Perks: Premium health, dental, and vision coverages, workspace stipend, and flexible PTO.
