Join the Emmy and Academy award-winning team that creates video review and approval solutions for the film, TV and games industries.

You thrive in a collaborative environment, maintaining effective communication with internal and external engineering teams, and are experienced in all phases of software development from planning and design, to implementation.

You have experience in building software applications for local hardware, not just for the web – and ideally, already have some experience in working with video.

• You’ll be building components for playback/display of multiple video and stills formats
• You’ll be working to integrate and align with various industry standards relating to codecs, colour pipelines and security

Who you are

• Experienced in developing tools for creative production using C++ and Objective C
• Experienced in developing multi-threaded, optimized software using the Qt framework
• Experience of cross-OS development for Linux, Windows and macOS
• Experience of programming with modern GPU APIs: Open GL, Metal, DirectX
• Python development experience
• Knowledge and understanding of hardware acceleration for video playback
• Experience with modern image and video file formats – eg Open EXR, DPX, DNxHD
• Ability to work in a globally distributed team
• Ability to write code that is well documented for future maintenance
• Experience with software repositories such as BitBucket and GitHub
