Streaming Software Engineer information

What is a streaming software engineer?

Streaming Software Engineers are professionals who design, develop, and maintain software systems that enable the real-time delivery of audio, video, or data streams over networks. They work with technologies such as video encoding, adaptive bitrate streaming, real-time protocols, and distributed systems to ensure seamless and efficient content delivery. Their responsibilities often include optimizing streaming performance, ensuring low latency, and integrating with various platforms and devices. Streaming Software Engineers typically collaborate with product teams, operations, and other engineers to build scalable and robust streaming solutions.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a streaming software engineer?

A Streaming Software Engineer should have a solid background in computer science, programming (often in C++, Java, or Python), and real-time data processing, typically supported by a relevant degree or equivalent experience. Familiarity with streaming platforms and protocols (such as Kafka, Flink, or Spark Streaming), as well as cloud infrastructure and containerization tools, is commonly required. Strong problem-solving abilities, collaboration, and effective communication are essential soft skills for this role. These competencies ensure efficient development, deployment, and maintenance of reliable, high-performance streaming systems that handle large-scale real-time data.

What are some common challenges faced by streaming software engineers when optimizing real-time data delivery?

Streaming Software Engineers often encounter challenges related to latency, data consistency, and scalability when optimizing real-time data delivery. Maintaining low latency while handling large volumes of concurrent data streams requires careful architecture choices and efficient resource management. Additionally, ensuring data reliability and accuracy across distributed systems can be complex, especially as user demand grows. Collaboration with DevOps, data engineering, and product teams is essential to address these challenges and deliver seamless streaming experiences.

About SimpliSafe
We're a high-tech home security company that's passionate about protecting the life you've built and our mission of keeping Every Home Secure. And we've created a culture here that cares just as deeply about the career you're building. Ours is a no ego culture of collaboration and innovation where those seeking their next challenge can find big opportunities and make a huge impact on the lives of all those who we protect. We don't just want you to work here. We want you to grow and thrive here.
We're embracing a hybrid work model that enables our teams to split their time between office and home. Hybrid for us means we expect our teams to come together in our state-of-the-art office on two core days, typically Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday - working together in person and choosing where they work for the remainder of the week. We all benefit from flexibility and get to use the best of both worlds to get our work done.
Why are we hiring?
Well, we're growing and thriving. So, we need smart, talented, and humble people who share our values to join us as we disrupt the home security space and relentlessly pursue our mission of keeping Every Home Secure.
What You'll Do
As an engineer on SimpliSafe's Video team you will build and maintain the cloud-based systems that empower customers to interact with their home security cameras from anywhere in the world.
We're looking for a motivated, experienced Staff Software Engineer to design, develop, maintain and own software solutions. We're a backend team solving large-scale video streaming and recording problems to ensure customers have real-time control and visibility into their cameras. You'll be working with our stack of Go, C#, TypeScript, AWS, Kubernetes, SQS, SNS, ffmpeg, WebRTC.
The safety of our customers is important, and as such our key pillars are reliability, simplicity, and performance.
Primary Responsibilities Include:
  • Partner with internal stakeholders to understand requirements and design simple, reliable, flexible solutions.
  • Drive the implementation of those solutions, both by writing code yourself and supporting other engineers with code reviews and mentoring.
  • Long-term support & maintenance work, such as performance optimization, bug fixes, feature additions, design and usability improvements, and automation.
  • Document the systems you are building to ensure they can be maintained by the next generation of developers.
  • Serve as an on-call first responder for software owned by your team.

What You'll Bring
  • 8+ years of industry experience, including having owned the architecture of a production backend system end-to-end, from design through long-term operational ownership.
  • 2+ years designing, building, or operating a real-time or low-latency video streaming service, e.g. HLS/DASH delivery or WebRTC media distribution.
  • Experience with tools such as WebRTC, GStreamer, ffmpeg, or libav.
  • Familiarity with video streaming standards such as HLS/DASH, fMP4, CMAF, adaptive bitrate packaging, video codecs (H.264, HEVC, AV1), audio codecs (AAC), and transport protocols (SRT, RTMP, WHIP, MoQ).
  • Extensive experience building and running cloud-based microservices and distributed systems.
  • Proven ability to mentor engineers and drive technical decision-making within a team.
  • Proficiency in at least one major programming language (Go, C#, JavaScript/TypeScript, Java, etc.).
  • Passion, curiosity and a desire to continuously learn and grow.
  • Extensive experience with AWS, GCP or Azure.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and proven track record to break down complexity.
  • Experience with IoT or smart home video streaming applications is a plus.
  • Familiarity with the Agile Scrum process.

What Values You'll Share
  • Customer Obsessed - Building deep empathy for our customers, putting them at the core of our work, and developing strong, long-term relationships with them.
  • Aim High - Always challenging ourselves and others to raise the bar.
  • No Ego - Maintaining a "no job too small" attitude, and an open, inclusive and humble style.
  • One Team - Taking a highly collaborative approach to achieving success.
  • Lift As We Climb - Investing in developing others and helping others around us succeed.
  • Lean & Nimble - Working with agility and efficiency to experiment in an often ambiguous environment.

What We Offer
  • A mission- and values-driven culture and a safe, inclusive environment where you can build, grow and thrive
  • A comprehensive total rewards package that supports your wellness and provides security for SimpliSafers and their families (For more information on our total rewards please click here)
  • Free SimpliSafe system and professional monitoring for your home.
  • Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) that bring people together, give opportunities to network, mentor and develop, and advocate for change.
