This is an opportunity to merge deep network engineering with advanced video streaming architecture and work with the team responsible for building globally scaled video streaming infrastructure that seamlessly acquires live broadcasts and prepares it for streaming. You are building the digital pipes and automated systems that acquire, process, and protect YouTube's most valuable live content. You are a developer at heart, building the future of network operations with an automation-first mindset. You'll create custom tools and a monitoring strategy that combines network telemetry, server metrics and stream health data into a unified observability plan. Your solutions will define the next iteration of YouTube's content ingestion infrastructure, setting new benchmarks for live media delivery. This team is the bridge between YouTube and the OTT media industry. At YouTube, we believe that everyone deserves to have a voice, and that the world is a better place when we listen, share, and build community through our stories. We work together to give everyone the power to share their story, explore what they love, and connect with one another in the process. Working at the intersection of cutting-edge technology and boundless creativity, we move at the speed of culture with a shared goal to show people the world. We explore new ideas, solve real problems, and have fun — and we do it all together.

  • Architect, design, and implement scalable, resilient, high-performance network solutions, with a specialized focus on complex multicast environments (PIM, IGMP, MSDP) and virtualization efforts. Drive capacity planning and cloud convergence projects.
  • Build, maintain and expand our network automation platform using GoLang. Develop custom tools and services to automate network provisioning, configuration management, and monitoring.
  • Serve as the highest escalation point for complex network issues, particularly those related to multicast routing and automated systems. Identify and optimize network performance and stability.
  • Learn traffic traversing on the network -- the transport protocols, video compressions, metadata and traffic patterns. Perform packet analysis and extend networking expertise to the general video streaming solution and architecture space.
  • Work with business stakeholders, software engineering, SRE, and layer 1 deployment teams to ensure the network meets the needs of our applications and services.
  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience.
  • 5 years of experience at a streaming service or in broadcast media digital distribution.
  • 5 years of experience with data analysis and SQL/MySQL.
  • 5 years of experience in system design and network architecture.
  • Experience with video encoding and content metadata.
  • Experience designing, deploying, and troubleshooting large-scale multicast routing environments.
  • Experience building network automation frameworks and tools (e.g., Ansible, Nornir, or custom-built solutions).
  • Experience building or supporting high-bandwidth applications in cloud environments (preferably GCP).
  • Familiarity and working knowledge of Kubernetes (preferably GKE), and comfortable working with APIs, data modeling, and configuration templating.
  • Understanding of audio/video signal processing and protocols, media streaming system components, and media streaming domain.
  • Software development skills with demonstrated proficiency in functional programming, preferably Go and Python.
