About this role
Role Overview
Help refine and improve our understanding of network path characteristics (including in-home WiFi behavior, bufferbloat mitigation on shared access links, and so forth)
Refine and import our heuristics for rate & latency estimation, rate adaptation, congestion control, and loss recovery for RTP-based media streams
Collaborate with colleagues to implement and deploy new ideas in our server-side transport stack
Work closely with server, client and data analytics colleagues to improve our lab-based and production (A/B) testing techniques for evaluating service performance
Requirements
Experience identifying and solving highly complex transport problems that are open-ended or ambiguous and result in significant business or technical impact
Experience designing, implementing and deploying WebRTC-like transport stacks for interactive, ultra low-latency streaming applications
Familiarity with how low-latency, two-way media flows over IP networks interact with WiFi paths, bufferbloat, active queue management, and concurrent TCP-like traffic
Practical understanding of modern strategies for balancing network congestion, goodput, latency and reliability in support of interactive, ultra low-latency streaming
Experience using network lab environments for controlled data networking experiments exploring large, multi-parameter test spaces
Experience using A/B testing methodologies for transport stack performance testing in production
An ability to articulate for diverse audiences the technical and business implications of performance measurement experiments executed both in the lab and in production
Experience with modern tools and scripting languages used for network traffic capture, test orchestration, post-capture analysis and presentation
