The Role

The Streaming Team is responsible for processing, transcoding, and distributing much of TuneIn’s exclusive audio content. We have built a highly-available distributed platform for streaming live audio at internet scale. Our stack is a modern architecture of containerized microservices written in Go running in a Kubernetes cluster using AWS infrastructure (with Lambdas, CloudFront, Aurora, DynamoDB, Kafka, etc.). Our platform must support features such as dynamic ad insertion, dynamic content replacement, and live rewind, and is designed to play streams 24/7 without interruption for maintenance or events such as node failures. We have a rich Golang codebase of over 200K lines of code, with ZERO legacy code to maintain. Our diverse problem set includes real-time streaming, distributed caching, large dataset processing, audio encoding, high availability, and fault tolerance.

What You’ll Do

• You know how to build elastic, robust, and fault-tolerant services that support our unique growth requirements. You stay up-to-date with the latest architectural trends
• You know how to design and construct new microservices from scratch
• You feel ownership over everything you ship; you'd never call code "released" until you’re confident it’s correct. You pride yourself on effective monitoring, strong documentation, and thorough test coverage
• You understand requirements beyond the written word. Whether you’re working on an API used by other developers, an internal tool consumed by our operation teams, or a feature used by millions of listeners, your attention to detail leads to a delightful user experience
• You thrive when learning new technologies and don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions
• You believe that a working proof-of-concept is the best way to make a point
• You embrace DevOps philosophy and the use of infrastructure-as-code
• You exercise good technical judgment to foresee and identify potential issues
• You choose to mentor those around you and favor collaboration
• You stay calm under pressure and can handle production escalations effectively (our product is live 24/7!).

What we are looking for

• 5+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 3 years experience working with scalable and distributed backend systems
• Strong foundation in databases, SQL, and NoSQL technologies
• Experience building backend services/microservices
• Experience designing APIs for use by multiple stakeholders
• Experience in Go or an Object Oriented language (Rust, C++, C#, Java, etc) is required
• Experience with AWS is desirable but not necessary
• Experience with Kafka is desirable but not necessary
• Experience with Kubernetes and Docker is desirable but not necessary
• Experience with media encoding standards, containers, and streaming is desirable but not necessary
• Experience with HLS streaming is a plus, but not required
• Experience with gRPC is a plus, but not required
• Superior communication and writing skills.

Behaviors

• Excel in communication of all forms; as adept a listener as a speaker
• Develop and maintain strong working relationships inside and outside of your team
• Think, plan, and manage strategically, balancing technology and business demands, without losing sight of the essential tactical details
• Creatively problem-solve and see your solutions through to successful implementation
• Embrace change and are highly adaptable
• Take pride in your work and share your knowledge with others
• Act as a trusted leader and a lifelong learner
• Embody TuneIn’s values.
