iOS Consultant, P2P Streaming App

Voddler is building the next generation in video streaming software, Vnet, a software solution that employs a hybrid P2P strategy for efficiently delivering video data to end users.

Vnet was historically the engine behind Voddler’s video-on-demand service voddler.com. Now, we’re working hard to decouple the software solution to make it a standalone product offering that can be sold and integrated by other service providers.

If you are intrigued by the opportunity to work with a very interesting piece of technology and being in on a project that breaks new ground when it comes to the way we consume and share data on mobile devices, you might be or guy or girl.

Assignment

• You will be involved in the creation of a ‘proof of concept’ video streaming app working with Voddler’s Vnet technology to stream (and share) video through P2P.
• The app should be able to open and stream videos through Vnet (integrated Shared Object module.) The UI requirements are limited to creating a simple video list and video player interface.
• The app should be able to detect network type, available storage capacity, battery life, and communicate statuses to Vnet depending on criteria.
• The app should have robust error handling.
• The video player needs to handle HLS (Http Live Streaming).
• A core requirement is that the app should be able to function as an SDK for integration in other, existing iOS apps, so code should be self-contained, modular, and well documented.
• An equivalent Android app exists. Exposed API’s should follow same naming as far as possible.

Qualifications

Mandatory

• 5 years software development experience / 2 years iOS/Obj. C experience.
• Very good knowledge of modern processes and tooling for iOS development (libraries, build systems, IDE, testing methods, agile workflows).
• Should be able to reason about use cases and design decisions. Part of the assignment will be refining the project requirements depending on limitations and/or best practices for iOS mobile apps.
• Should be a team worker with good communication skills. The assignment is a joint effort with another dev team developing core functionality (in the form of a Shared Object C module.)

Complimentary

• Experience with video streaming in general and for iOS in particular.
• Good UI/UX skills.
• Backend skills is a plus.
• Can write good documentation.

Salary is commensurate with experience. This position is based in Stockholm, Sweden.

The position is for a time limited project (estimated to approximately two months, albeit with strong possibility for extension).
