You intimately understand the impact of dynamic Internet paths on SVOD content delivery and the challenges of SVOD coexisting with interactive cloud gaming. You will help refine and improve our heuristics for congestion control, loss recovery, and packet pacing for TCP-based media streams; collaborate effectively with colleagues to design and deploy innovative ideas into production; provide rapid debugging of production transport stack issues; and work closely with server, client and data analytics colleagues to improve our lab-based and production (A/B) testing techniques for evaluating service performance.
Qualifications:
- Extensive experience in designing, implementing, debugging, and deploying kernel-resident network stacks.
- Deep understanding of strategies implemented in modern TCP and/or QUIC stacks for balancing network congestion, goodput, latency and reliability in support of SVOD applications.
- Experience with the implications for SVOD transport streams of policers & shapers, bufferbloat, active/smart queue management, and highly variable path characteristics.
- Experience using network lab environments for appropriately designed data networking experiments exploring large, multi-parameter test spaces. Experience using A/B testing methodologies for appropriately designed transport stack performance testing in production.
- Experience with clearly and concisely articulating to colleagues the technical and business implications of data-driven design choices.
You will be successful in this role if you:
- Have the ability to define and self-manage cross-functional projects fueled by ambiguous questions.
- Are a self-starter, curious and not afraid to ask when in doubt.
- Are a quick learner and excited about learning new technologies.
- Advocate software craftsmanship, take pride in your work and enjoy taking full ownership of projects from conception to production.
Nice to have:
- Experience with software development & debugging TCP in FreeBSD environments.
- Experience with the challenges that arise when SVOD streams share network paths with cloud gaming streams and other low-latency/interactive services.
- Experience with tcpdump/wireshark, python and R (or similar tools) for network traffic capture, test orchestration, post-capture analysis and presentation.
- Experience partnering with remote engineering or product teams across multiple time zones.
- Masters or Bachelors degree in a relevant science or engineering discipline.
