- Experience mentoring/training/working with other teams through documentation and live sessions on the best way to accomplish building features utilizing the system we build/own.
- Familiarity with mobile video broadcasting of user-generated content and the challenges of optimizing streaming quality and reliability across a variety of devices and network conditions.
- Hands-on experience with one or more video players.
- Front end development experience in web, iOS (Swift), and/or Android (Kotlin) required. Willingness to learn/work in front end areas you are not familiar with is a huge plus.
