What you'll work on

We are looking for a Principal Video Engineer who will architect the next generation of our systems to support our growing business. You will chart the direction of a new team that is solely focused on every piece of video, from the on-camera video pipeline up through the players on the mobile app and web.

  • Quantify and constantly improve quality of stored and streamed video, maximizing retention times and minimizing bandwidth usage
  • Architect and build a cloud-transcode service that can allow a phone to stream from 16 cameras at once without a sweat (and without destroying a user’s data plan)
  • Explore and advise on new hardware platforms for future generations of cameras
  • Build a hyper responsive forward and backward scrubbing feature covering weeks worth of constantly changing video
  • Partner with and empower our Camera Intelligence teams to create unique solutions that run at the edge
  • Come up with innovative solutions that cater to both a local LAN as well as cloud backed workflows

You are an ideal fit if you have:

  • At least 10+ years of demonstrated ability in product architecture and functional experience
  • Expert knowledge on Audio/Video codecs (H264, H265, VP9 etc.) and streaming protocols like HLS, RTSP, DASH
  • Experience in multiple areas of video streaming (encoding raw frames, transcoding to various qualities, delivery across the internet, and decode/playback on client devices)
  • High proficiency with common video tools/workflows such as ffmpeg and gstreamer
  • Understanding of container formats and metadata (mp4, MPEG 2/Transport Stream, etc.)
  • Experience optimizing video encoding quality
  • Successfully deployed video streaming solutions at scale

 

About Cisco

#WeAreCisco, where each person is unique, but we bring our talents to work as a team and make a difference powering an expansive future for all.

We embrace digital, and help our customers implement change in their digital businesses. Some may think we’re “old” (36 years strong) and only about hardware, but we’re also a software company. And a security company. We even invented an intuitive network that adapts, predicts, learns and protects. No other company can do what we do – you can’t put us in a box!

 

But “Digital Transformation” is an empty buzz phrase without a culture that allows for innovation, creativity, and yes, even failure (if you learn from it.)

 

Day to day, we focus on the give and take. We give our best, give our egos a break, and give of ourselves (because giving back is built into our DNA.) We take accountability, bold steps, and take difference to heart. Because without diversity of thought and a dedication to equality for all, there is no moving forward.

 

So, you have colorful hair? Don’t care. Tattoos? Show off your ink. Like polka dots? That’s cool. Pop culture geek? Many of us are. Passion for technology and world changing? Be you, with us!
