Senior Streaming Systems Engineer

Airtame is a hardware-software platform company that specializes in wireless collaboration tools used globally. They are seeking a Senior Streaming Systems Engineer to lead the development of their native protocol stack, focusing on AirPlay, Google Cast, and Miracast implementations on embedded Linux.

Responsibilities:

• Deliver working, production-quality implementations of AirPlay, Google Cast, and Miracast on Airtame's embedded Linux hardware — replacing the current third-party dependency with something we fully own
• Expand codec support (H.264, VP8, VP9, AV1, Opus, AAC), push resolution and performance boundaries, and improve latency and synchronization under real-world network conditions
• Document protocol behavior, architecture decisions, and edge cases so the team can maintain and extend the stack beyond your initial implementation
• Contribute to Airtame's Chromium-based embedded browser, native firmware, or desktop applications — if you have the background and the curiosity

Requirements:

• Reverse engineered or built receivers for wireless display protocols
• Comfortable working from packet captures when the documentation is incomplete
• Work across the full media pipeline — network transport, codec negotiation, decoding, rendering, synchronization
• Understand how a decision in one layer ripples through the rest
• Write C/C++ for constrained environments
• Shipped on embedded Linux
• Experience with hardware interfaces and GPU-accelerated decoding
• Think about streaming performance in terms of real networks — congested WiFi, variable latency, mixed device ecosystems
• Debugged problems that only appear in the field
• Experience with Rust
