Senior Software Engineer, Loom Media & Intelligence

Working at Atlassian
Atlassians can choose where they work - whether in an office, from home, or a combination of the two. That way, Atlassians have more control over supporting their family, personal goals, and other priorities. We can hire people in any country where we have a legal entity. Interviews and onboarding are conducted virtually, a part of being a distributed-first company.
Your future team
Loom is the video communication platform for async work that helps companies communicate better at scale. The Media & Intelligence Team lives at the heart of Loom's product development, providing a set of libraries, services, platforms, and APIs used across our systems to power recording, playback, editing, and advanced AI features.
We are looking for a senior software engineer to contribute to our media systems. You will report to the Senior EM of this team and collaborate with broad cross functional teams. This role can be remote or work from one of Atlassian's US offices.
What you'll do

• Build the server-side and client-side infrastructure that enables engineering teams to build world-class video messaging products.
• Design and implement media features that delight our users and differentiate Loom's products and services from our competitors.
• Uphold a high standard of engineering excellence because the performance and reliability of media infrastructure directly impact our product experience, hence the perception of Loom's overall brand.
• Diagnose and improve the quality of the end-to-end video experience. Optimize our media pipelines to be performant across all the platforms.
• Display strong ownership and influence over the team's roadmap.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent practical experience)
• 5+ years of professional experience in software development
• Be familiar with media processing API for MacOS (AVFoundation/VideoToolBox) and Windows (Microsoft Media Foundation)
• Know video/audio coding concepts: codecs (H264/H265, AAC), containers (TS, MP4)
• Be fluent in C++17 or newer: multithreading, real time systems, smart pointers and memory management
• Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams

Nice to haves

• Know your way around ffmpeg/ffprobe: transcode to different resolutions, change formats, apply time offsets, apply filters, inspect media files
• Native client development experience

Zone A: $176,200 - $234,900
Zone B: $158,600 - $211,500
