Valgrind, AddressSanitizer, and command of underlying architecture and
implementation of UNIX-based operating systems including: filesystem interfaces,
IPC primitives, messaging, RPC, synchronization, notification, Memory
Management, OS X processes, POSIX threads, scheduling, priority propagation,
etc. Develop features for media systems frameworks running on iOS, macOS, tvOS,
and analyze correctness, reliability and performance of existing software.
Develop cross-platform software and perform deep analysis of the capabilities
and limitations of each run-time environment including CPU, battery life impact,
reconfiguration at run-time and impact to multi-device ecosystem features. Tune
new and existing algorithms for streaming media playback performance.
Algorithms, such as Adaptive Bitrate (ABR) selection heuristics used in
streaming playback implementations. Design, implement and configure of test-beds
and simulation software for large scale validation, including designing
dedicated laboratory setups that re-create or simulate a large number of use
cases. Contribute to media systems design from specification to prototype and
implementation, including new capabilities and features for Apple’s devices
(e.g., ability to download HTTP Live Streaming assets, and play them locally on
an Apple device), and create new APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) to be
