Software Engineer, L5 – Cloud Gaming Transport R&D
Job Description:
• 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
Benefits:
• Health Plans
• Mental Health support
• 401(k) Retirement Plan with employer match
• Stock Option Program
• Disability Programs
• Health Savings and Flexible Spending Accounts
• Family-forming benefits
• Life and Serious Injury Benefits
• Paid leave of absence programs
• Full-time hourly employees accrue 35 days annually for paid time off to be used for vacation, holidays, and sick paid time off
• Full-time salaried employees are immediately entitled to flexible time off
