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 any application. 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.

Hybrid policy: applicants based in the Netherlands or relocating here, are expected to work in the office in Amsterdam 3 times per week. Exemptions may apply to specific cases.

  • Technologies you will work with: Golang, WebRTC, RTMP, SRT, HLS, protobuf, SVC codecs, Opus, bandwidth negotiation

  • Improve performance and build new features of our SFU server

  • Work on our edge infrastructure and improve its stability and feature-set

  • Build new features to support existing and upcoming audio/video technologies (eg. AI, WHIP, SRT, WHEP, …)

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.

What you need to know about the Melbourne Tech Scene

Home to 650 biotech companies, 10 major research institutes and nine universities, Melbourne is among one of the top cities for biotech. In fact, some of the greatest medical advancements were conceptualized and developed here, including Symex Lab's "lab-on-a-chip" solution that monitors hormones to predict ovulation for conception, and Denteric's vaccine for periodontal gum disease. Yet, the thousands of people working in the city's healthtech sector are just getting started, to say nothing of the tech advancements across all other sectors.
