  • Integrate with various protocols including WebRTC, RTMP, RTP, SIP, HLS, and SRT for interoperability across platforms.

  • Continuously improve performance metrics such as latency, jitter, packet loss recovery, echo cancellation, etc.

  • Participate in system architecture design and service refactoring to ensure scalability and high availability.

  • Collaborate with frontend/mobile, algorithm, product, and QA teams to deliver end-to-end solutions.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree or above in Computer Science, Telecommunications, Electronics, or a related field.

  • Solid backend development experience with C++.

  • Familiarity with major audio/video protocols and standards such as RTP/RTCP, SRTP, SIP, SDP, and WebRTC.

  • Hands-on experience developing or customizing media servers (e.g., Janus, mediasoup, Kurento, Jitsi, LiveKit, SRS) is highly preferred.

  • Experience with multimedia libraries like FFmpeg, libwebrtc, GStreamer, Opus, x264/x265 is a strong plus.

  • Proficient in debugging and performance optimization for real-time media applications.

  • Good understanding of multithreading, async programming, network I/O, and buffer management.

  • Experience with high-concurrency, distributed backend systems is a plus.
