Senior Audio & Video Streaming Engineer (Independent Contractor)

Join a long-term international engineering project and work on advanced embedded audio/video streaming technologies that power professional products used worldwide.

We are looking for an experienced Senior Embedded Audio/Video Streaming Engineer who enjoys working deep inside Linux-based multimedia systems, building and debugging complex GStreamer pipelines, optimizing real-time media performance, and solving the difficult problems that appear where hardware, operating systems, multimedia frameworks, codecs, and networking come together.

You’ll contribute to sophisticated Linux- and Android-based products used across conference rooms, classrooms, auditoriums, home environments, and enterprise installations worldwide—with your work directly influencing streaming quality, latency, synchronization, performance, and product reliability.

Go Deep into GStreamer & Embedded Multimedia

This is not simply application-level video development. You’ll work close to the platform and have the opportunity to investigate the complete audio/video processing and streaming pipeline.

Solve the Problems That Aren’t Obvious

You might trace buffers and timestamps through a GStreamer pipeline, investigate why frames are dropped, reduce end-to-end latency, debug A/V synchronization, analyze RTP behavior, optimize hardware codec integration, or determine whether a performance bottleneck originates in the driver, multimedia framework, network, or hardware accelerator.

Why Join This Project

If you are an experienced Linux/GStreamer engineer who enjoys understanding what happens inside the media pipeline—not just calling APIs from above it—and you like solving complex problems involving latency, synchronization, codecs, networking, performance, and hardware acceleration, this project offers the technical depth and engineering challenges to make a real impact.
