Job Description

We think this is a rare opportunity to be part of Spotify's groundbreaking journey as we evolve from an audio-first platform to also become a world-class video service. From offline playback to adaptive streaming with optimized video quality, you will be part of a team that defines how video will be consumed by hundreds of millions Spotify users.

Our next challenge is to move more of our pre-render video pipeline, things like decoding, timing, synchronization and adaptive streaming from higher-level native integrations down into a performant, portable C++ stack. By driving this space alongside our existing players, you will shape the APIs, abstractions, and optimizations that make video on Spotify seamless everywhere: across iOS, Android, desktop, and beyond.

We think you have many years of solid hands-on experience with video in code, from transcoding, streaming, demuxing, to adaptive bitrate selection and presentation of frames and audio samples. With that type of background this is a very good opportunity to expand your impact to help us at Spotify drive innovation in a space that's becoming increasingly vital to our growth. Joining us now will enable you to greatly influence our journey and make a lasting impact for the years to come.

You will be joining an environment with a lot of collaboration, innovation and cross-functional teams that deliver seamless, high-quality video experiences. Your role is to provide the right APIs and implementations to allow all of those teams to serve a first class video experience every time. If you are ready to make an impact and push the boundaries of video technology, we would like to get in touch!
