Transcoding Software Engineer

We are looking for a skilled and enthusiastic Software Engineer to help us to further develop our ingestion, transcoding and distribution of live and VOD media.

The mission of the Media Pipeline team is to provide the best possible end-user experience with respect to audio/video quality, live delay and uninterrupted playback.

Magine’s platform is utilized by business partners to distribute a rapidly increasing number of live TV channels and VOD titles on a global scale. Working with our custom made toolchain based on open source tools and libraries we are able to support a wide range of devices using different streaming protocols and DRM solutions making this possible.

This job is not for everyone. It requires ability to dive into low level details about audio/video compression, formats and protocols as well as network protocols and Linux internals. But if you are passionate about those things, we can offer you an environment where you can thrive and contribute to the core technology that is essential to our business.

Responsibilities

• Design and build scalable, fault tolerant and highly available distributed systems for media ingestion, transcoding and delivery.
• Optimize our toolchain for best user experience, performance and cost efficiency.
• Help and collaborate with other people inside and outside the team.

Requirements

• Good understanding of system design, data structures and algorithms
• Interest in working with distributed, fault-tolerant systems
• Experience with network programming, especially on *nix platforms
• Experience with C and Python, Elixir or Erlang
• Experience with Linux servers

 We think it is a plus if you also have experience with:

• Go Programming language
• Video and audio compression (MPEG-2, H.264, H.265, AAC, AC3, MPEG-2 Audio)
• Video and audio formats (MPEG-TS, ISOBMFF, ADTS, LATM, Y4M)
• Adaptive bitrate streaming protocols (HLS, SmoothStreaming, MPEG-DASH)
• DRM systems (Widevine Modular, PlayReady, FairPlay)
• Cryptography

What we offer:

• A fun and challenging place to work at!
• Great co-workers.
• Innovative thinking.
• Competitive benefit package.
• The chance to be part of making a difference in your area of expertise (and maybe other areas too!).
• Flexible working hours.
• Office located in central Stockholm

At Magine, we’re dedicated to connecting fantastic TV to audiences in any corner of the globe (yeah, yeah, we know it is round). We deliver some of the world’s top TV brands directly to consumers, and partner with creators and distributors to enable them through every aspect of setting up their own OTT service. We’re passionate about great content and our mission is to protect generations of creativity to come through high quality, safe and legal distribution.   We believe in working hard and loving what you do, and we’re all about a fun environment where egos are left at the door. Though we maintain the culture of a startup we’re setting our sights high, so the sky’s the limit for opportunities to grow with us.  

We are a diverse group of around 150 people sitting around the world. Everyone is equal and all ideas and opinions count. Flexibility in working and mind are important to be a part of a team in which change is, and will, happen constantly. We speak English and fika in Swedish. Sound exciting? We think so and we are looking for more talented people to join our team.
