About this role

Sr. Backend Software Engineer (Video Engineering) San Francisco, CA, Brooklyn, NY, Cambridge, MA or remote within the U.S. At Philo, we're a group of technology and product people who set out to build the future of television, marrying the best in modern technology with the most compelling medium ever invented - in short, we're building the TV experience that we've always wanted for ourselves. In practice this means leveraging cloud delivery, modern tech stacks, machine learning, and hand-crafted native app experiences on all of our platforms. We aim to deliver a rock solid experience on the streaming basics, while cooking up next generation multi-screen and multi-user playback experiences. Senior Backend Software Engineer (Video Engineering) Video is at the core of Philo and what customers engage with the most: watching their favorite shows. The Video Infrastructure team is crucial for delivering on this high expectation, and - together with the Ads team - for generating significant revenue through advertising. We own the systems that get every frame of Philo to every screen: live and video on demand transcoding, DRM and license servers, manifest generation that holds up under peak live events, and Server-Side Ad Insertion (SSAI). We support playback across all major streaming platforms, and partner closely with the Ads, Client, and Data teams to build out the end-to-end video player and ad experience. We increasingly apply machine learning to inspect both content and ads - surfacing quality issues, optimizing encodes, and improving the viewing experience in ways that weren't possible
