Senior C++ Systems Developer - Live Media

When live video travels across networks, every part of the system needs to deliver. At Net Insight, you will work on the software

that makes reliable media transport possible — solving demanding engineering problems together with experienced colleagues who

enjoy sharing their knowledge.

We are looking for a senior C++ developer to join the Nimbra Edge team. This is a hands-on role with substantial technical

ownership, where you will improve performance, investigate complex problems and influence the architecture behind a product used

in professional media delivery.

Nimbra Edge enables the transport of live video across internet and private networks. You will join the team responsible for its

dataplane: the C++ software that handles the actual flow of media through the system.

The dataplane team consists of four engineers and works closely with seven colleagues developing the cloud parts of the product.

Together, they cover a broad technical scope, from cloud software to the systems interacting with the underlying hardware.

It is a friendly, collaborative group where you can discuss a difficult problem, challenge an idea and ask for another

perspective. You will have room to work independently, with colleagues who support one another and care about the quality of the

result.

A central part of your work will be getting more from the available hardware: increasing channel capacity, reducing resource

consumption and maintaining predictable performance under demanding conditions.

You will move between architectural decisions and detailed investigation, following a problem through the stack to understand its

root cause. That might mean examining memory access and concurrency, analysing network traffic or investigating how Linux

scheduling affects latency.

The current focus includes high-performance packet processing with DPDK and uncompressed video and audio transport using SMPTE ST

2110. You will also encounter precision timing, Linux tuning and hardware-accelerated media processing.

You can learn ST 2110 and DPDK here. What you bring is the systems knowledge and engineering judgement needed to understand

challenging problems and work through them.

You are an experienced developer who still enjoys being deeply involved in the code. You take initiative when the next step is

unclear, investigate before drawing conclusions and look for solutions that keep the system as simple as possible.

You also enjoy working with others. You explain your reasoning, listen to different perspectives and share what you learn. Your

technical contribution includes helping the team reach sound decisions together.

Experience with video streaming protocols and media transport is particularly valuable. Other relevant experience includes DPDK or

XDP, precision time synchronisation, NICs and drivers, or hardware-accelerated media processing.

Your background may be in media technology, telecom, networking or another field with demanding systems and performance

requirements. Previous broadcast experience is welcome, but is not required.
