Review and provide feedback on designs and code/PRs.
Help build internal SDKs, frameworks, and tooling to allow product development teams to easily integrate video into the product at different stages of the video pipeline.
Help build real-time monitoring and measurement systems for critical operational workflows in the video pipeline, including tools for on-call developers and customer support to manage and troubleshoot issues. Support the video workflows through an occasional (few days per month) on-call rotation with a team of other engineers.
Help interview and onboard other software engineers in the video and live-streaming space.
