Video Streaming Engineer
Low-latency video at scale depends on getting adaptive bitrate, codec selection, and CDN configuration right together — a mismatch in any one of them shows up to viewers as buffering, blocky video, or a stream that just won't start. We build HLS and DASH streaming pipelines with adaptive bitrate switching, appropriate codec selection, and CDN delivery tuned for low latency. This is for products delivering live or on-demand video where playback quality and latency directly affect the user experience. You get a streaming pipeline tested against real network conditions, not just a fast office connection.
How We’d Approach This
A clear, staged plan — not a black box
- 1
Assess your video content type, target latency, and current playback quality complaints, if any.
- 2
Build a pilot streaming pipeline with adaptive bitrate and test it across a range of simulated network conditions.
- 3
Review playback quality and latency results with your team before scaling to full content library or traffic.
- 4
Deploy the full pipeline with CDN configuration tuned and monitoring for playback quality in production.
