Brightcove | Developers | Boston | Full-Time | https://www.brightcove.com

Brightcove works behind the scenes to power tons of the video you enjoy on the web, mobile devices, and televisions. We handle transcoding, packaging, delivery, and playback for billions of video streams every month. We're looking for smart, passionate developers who want to work on projects that touch millions at a company that is still small enough that their contribution can have a real impact.

We have positions open right now for backend and full-stack developers. You'll be working on a small, self-organized team that is expected to understand their customers, and design, build, deploy, and operate their own solutions. Teams choose their own languages and tools but we tend towards kotlin/java on the backend and node.js/javascript/react for frontend work. We're ambitious but don't think that means compromising a real work-life balance. Visa sponsorship possible for the right candidates.

Senior Software Engineer | Brightcove | ONSITE | Boston, MA

Brightcove powers video streaming for some of the world's biggest companies, serving billions of video views and tens of thousands of years of viewing-time monthly. Come join the team that builds one of the most critical portions of our global infrastructure: the database of video metadata and the global cache that each one of those billions of views goes through to begin playback. We're looking for engineers who aren't intimidated by requirements that include 5-9s of availability, and ultra-low latency response times anywhere around the world.

5+ years of large-scale service development experience desired. Our existing systems are JVM-based and mostly in Java and Groovy, though we're shifting much new development to Kotlin. Familiarity with AWS is a plus.

I'm really sorry to hear you had a bad experience with our social media team. I couldn't comment on what happened then but I know the devs here care a ton about our software and really appreciate all the feedback we get. If you drop me a message at dlapalomento at brightcove dot com, I'll make it gets to the right engineers.
