Mux

Mux is how developers build online video. With Mux Video, developers gain access to a powerful API for video streaming--think Stripe for Video. A dev doesn't need to have strong feelings about ffmpeg settings to get started and your team can focus on building your actual product instead of bolting together a video pipeline. Mux Data helps developers realize actionable insights into how their videos perform from platform to platform, place to place, and user to user. And our newest product, Mux Real-Time Video, really simplifies WebRTC and many-to-many interactions over video--it's really cool. I'm Ed, and I'm a senior eng on the DevEx team here. This is a pretty good place to be, IMO. There is a real and concerted focus on not just competence but on the human side of things; one of the company's core values is "be human" and I thought it was marketing stuff 'til I joined and learned to my surprise that it is emphatically not. The onboarding experience is comprehensive and pleasant and it gets a lot of positive feedback from new folks, too. Mux runs a multi-cloud environment using Kubernetes on AWS and GCP, with Elixir, Golang, and some NodeJS (some JS, mostly TypeScript), plus React and TypeScript for all the usual bells and whistles. If video is your thing--or even it just sounds interesting and you'd like to explore it!--you should check us out. At the moment our hiring is limited to the US, Canada, and the UK, but the company is fully remote; I'm in Boston and I don't feel disconnected compared to the SF folks. Feel free to head on over to https://mux.com/jobs and check out our openings; we run a pretty standard interview-loop process and I don't feel like we waste candidates' time. (We've hired multiple people from HN Who's Hiring threads, too.) Even if you don't see an immediate spot that clicks with you, feel free to reach out regardless!
