WebRTC SFU Engineer

Stream powers chat & video for many large apps like Strava, Nextdoor, Patreon, IBM, Adobe and Midjourney. For video we’ve built our own Go/Pion based SFU and a network of edge servers around the world. 

We are looking for a WebRTC SFU Engineer to join our team and work on the SFU. The goal is to raise the bar on the developer experience and make it much easier to add real time audio/video to your app. We are also expanding into AI integrations for realtime audio & video. Remote (EU) or Amsterdam (relocation and Visa sponsorship available). 

Stream has a 10 week internal Go onboarding program, prior experience with Golang is not required. 

Why Stream:

• Video SFU, interesting Golang challenge
• High scale/ difficult engineering
• Default alive. Startup growth opportunity with healthy revenue
• Strong engineering culture. Engineering is what makes us succeed
• All managers are hands on and capable engineers
• Edge network of servers around the world
• Great opportunity to learn and grow

In addition to Go we use CockroachDB/Postgres, RocksDB, Raft and Redis. Solid engineering experience and motivation to learn is more relevant than prior experience with the language. Roles open from entry level to director/principal engineers.
