VIDEO Codec Developer

We are currently seeking highly qualified Digital Video Processing and Compression (Encoding) Algorithm/Software Engineers for permanent full-time employment for the development of a new video codec. The successful candidates will be primarily responsible for developing new video processing and codec algorithms for custom encoder/transcoders. This may involve applying specialized technical knowledge to develop initial implementations used, identify technical hurdles, prove feasibility, and characterize new technologies. Technical Skills (Essential): • 5+ years professional software engineering experience • Strong C/C++ and JAVA programming experience • Audio/video transcoding expertise • Multithreaded network applications • Knowledge / experience of open source libraries – FFMEG, Gstreamer, Apache Traffic Server,HLS,HDS,DASH • Android and iOS experience • Extensive knowledge of networking concepts (TCP/IP, IPv4, IPv6) • Experience writing player software for one or more video codecs (e.g. h.264) • Knowledge of real-time GPU rendering pipeline (e.g. OpenGL) • Prior experience developing for mobile platforms • Experience in software-based video encoding (e.g., libavcodec, custom video library development). • Experience with video/audio codec internals such as H264 and HEVC, and video quality metrics. • Experience on real time/live video encoding, decoding, streaming software development and video formats (e.g., fragmented mp4, MPEG transport stream). • Experience with advanced pre- and post-processing algorithms for image and/or video applications • Understanding of advanced display technologies and related processing • Knowledge of applied mathematics and numerical techniques • SIMD, intrinsics, and code optimization Technical Skills (Desired): • Codecs eg H264, AAC,mp3,mpeg4,mpeg2 • Video container knowledge eg 3GP,MP4,flv,avi, • Optimization techniques / strategies eg Caching, JIT delivery • Knowledge of mobile technologies (e.g. GSM, CDMA) and the challenges faced in the mobile internet • Knowledge of Java Spring and OSGi technologies • Demonstrable experience using Eclipse • UNICODE UTF-8 Required education: Master's Required experience: C++: 5 years Video compression: 4 years Video Codec: 4 years We understand this project may go over the starting budget of $10,000 as well as potential shares/ownership of the project.
