Job Description

Position Summary
Our vision is what your eyes see.

We're at it again - with a new endeavor - changing the way you interact with Smart-TVs. As we revolutionize the TV viewing experience once again, we want to do the same for the way you interact with the next generation of our products and services. We're putting together a team of world-class engineers that would help us make this vision a reality. If you're ready to take on this challenge and see your work dazzle millions of users, weâ??d love to hear from you!

  • Participate in code reviews and spread your expertise to the team
  • Investigate and fix performance issues throughout our systems which include our services, dependencies, and kernel usage
  • Contribute to open-source software to improve our external dependencies
  • Our tech stack includes a mixture of Erlang, C11, Rust, Go, Linux, Docker, and Kubernetes.

Skills and Qualifications
  • Other things you probably enjoy or would be interested in learning
  • Computer architecture and optimization, particularly x86-64 performance tweaking
  • Distributed systems
  • Operating systems, especially the Linux kernel networking stack
