About The Position

We are seeking a Senior Principal Playback QoE Engineer to define and build the real-time quality intelligence layer for OVE. This role will connect viewer-side playback telemetry with OVE infrastructure behavior, enabling real-time live-event operations, customer-facing quality reporting, and data-driven optimization of the delivery platform. Why OCI Build core technology for next-generation live streaming infrastructure Work on high-scale data systems tied directly to viewer experience Shape the QoE foundation for a greenfield media delivery platform Solve problems across playback, telemetry, networking, edge delivery, and analytics Influence how OVE proves quality, reliability, and customer value during major live events

Requirements

Define OVE’s canonical playback QoE metric model
Design and build real-time QoE telemetry pipelines using Kafka, Flink, or equivalent streaming systems
Process large-scale playback events across sessions, devices, geographies, ISPs, app versions, protocols, and delivery paths
Build real-time aggregations, anomaly detection, alerting, and live-event dashboards
Correlate playback telemetry with OVE relay, control plane, routing, and fallback behavior
Partner with player, infrastructure, observability, and product teams to improve end-to-end video quality
Support customer-facing QoE reporting, post-event analysis, and operational reviews
Identify playback regressions by device, region, ISP, app version, or delivery path
Help define QoE-driven feedback loops for routing, failover, capacity planning, and event readiness
Drive engineering standards for telemetry schemas, event quality, data correctness, and operational reliability
