Wistia is hiring a Remote Senior Software Engineer, Media Platform

Wistia is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our team! This role is a great opportunity to work closely with a thoughtful, creative and collaborative team working on exciting products that make business more human with video. 

You’ll work on the core of Wistia’s back-end media product, providing our customers with a world-class experience for managing video and audio, launching it to audiences, and analyzing its performance. You’ll work primarily in our modern tech stack with Go, Ruby, ffmpeg, Docker, and Kubernetes while building on our collection of platform services.

We’re a diverse and inclusive engineering team. We’re technology-minded, but customer focused, always aiming to deliver the highest-impact features that prioritize the long-term success of the product.

Key Responsibilities

  • Work comfortably in back-end micro-service development generally related to ingesting, encoding, and delivering video, image, and audio files. We mainly use Go, but sometimes need to work in both Ruby or JavaScript. We aim to use the best language for the problem we’re trying to solve and do not expect engineers coming in to know our particular frameworks.
  • Balance technical considerations with product and business thinking. You aim for the best value, not for perfection.
  • Ship features and deliver value to customers under the constraints of a profitable business where we center the customer and take ownership as company values.
  • Work with engineers across teams on more complex features, for mentoring and knowledge-sharing, to support and care for the Wistia systems, and sometimes just for fun!

Preferred Qualifications / Experience

  • You may be more focused on the back-end and/or service-oriented architecture with an eye for high impact optimizations.
  • You have experience with video-based infrastructure and open source projects in the space (ffmpeg, x264, webm).
  • You’ve worked with CDNs to deliver assets to customers globally.
  • You’ve built integrations with cloud services (AWS, GCP, etc) and APIs in a scalable manner that allow for others on the team to contribute effectively.
  • Your experience with distributed databases has given you a real understanding of the CAP theorem in practice (and where they can fall apart)

Qualifications

  • You have 8+ years' experience as a product or platform engineer. 
  • You are a collaborator. Whether through pair programming, a (virtual) whiteboard session, or a casual conversation, collaboration helps the best ideas and practices to proliferate.
  • You have strong communication skills. Each of us has only part of the overall picture in our head at a given time. Explaining ideas at an understandable level of abstraction is critical to achieving a shared vision.
  • You're empathetic and emotionally intelligent. Sometimes things don't go smoothly. A customer gets frustrated, or a coworker does something that bothers you. Understanding where others are coming from, and being in control of and deliberate about how you respond to them, empowers you to solve problems while also being supportive of and sensitive to those around you.
  • You write clean and understandable code. We write code for each other and for our future selves. Code that is clear and tested sets us up for speed, reliability, and a more enjoyable development experience.
  • You know your fundamentals. Fads and frameworks come and go. We’re less worried that you know the Next Hot Thing™ than that you feel comfortable with the underlying data structures, algorithms, languages, and protocols that make web applications work.
  • You are comfortable thinking in trade-offs. Some decisions will always have a downside. Do we want our distributed database to be more consistent, or more available? Should we use a hosted product that will save us time now, but force us to move to a new system in a year? Understanding and negotiating these choices is critical to success here.
  • You value simplicity. Blaise Pascal once wrote, "I'm sorry I wrote you such a long letter; I didn't have time to write a short one." Making things simple and elegant is deceptively difficult, but it’s worth the effort because the result is easier to understand and work with.

Working at Wistia

Wistia is hiring a Remote Senior Product Designer II

About Wistia

Wistia is a video marketing software company working to make business more human with video. We help our customers stay ahead of the curve by enabling them to record videos, host webinars, edit and organize videos, as well as measure performance–all in one platform. We're super excited to help businesses achieve their goals through simple and delightful video-focused products.

Responsibilities

We are seeking a Senior Product Designer II to lead design for our recording software, a core capability of Wistia’s creative tools. On the Record team you’ll design features that enable users to record videos remotely with a team or independently, as well as collect recordings from collaborators. You’ll explore everything from the aesthetics of the video itself to nuanced producer interactions, empowering non-experts to create polished and impactful content with minimal effort. You’ll have the ability to make a broad impact as you lead collaborative efforts, connecting your work with teams across the platform.

You’ll report to our Director of Product Design who leads design across our Create pillar, which also includes video editing and webinar software. You’ll be involved in each stage of development, from strategy and creative exploration to implementation. You’ll collaboratively shape a vision for Record’s future and will contribute a user-centered lens to feature prioritization. Embedded within a cross-functional team of design, product, and engineering partners, you’ll help uphold the following values for inclusive design:

Intentional Simplicity.Design is best when the product is the simplest for users rather than the designer. Your designs strike the right balance of simplicity, making our tools straightforward and intuitive to new users versus unremarkable.

Meaningful Creativity.This is achieved when the final product results from many inputs and active exploration. You’ll help designers add meaning through their creativity and focus ideation around a real customer problem or desire.

Polished Presentation. This means much more than pixel-perfect design; it includes the assets and processes to implement the design successfully. Our team should feel inspired when we see each other’s designs at every stage along the way to implementation.

Ambitious and Determined. Ambitious design is, by definition, difficult to achieve. So, when designing for the future, you’ll consider long-term benefits, not just short-term inconveniences. Helping your team be ambitious sets us up for better outcomes, considering what we know about the business, the market, and excellent product design processes.

You have:

  • 8+ years of real-world experience designing software or web applications
  • Expertise with visual design fundamentals, interaction design, and multi-step workflows
  • A user-centered approach, articulating the “why” in terms of user insights and business needs
  • Strong design intuition, which affords you the ability to make confident decisions
  • Excellent cross-discipline collaboration, balancing user advocacy, curiosity, and compromise

To be the most successful here, you:

  • Bring experience with B2B SAAS, recording, audio, video, streaming, or marketing products
  • Lead user research to build empathy and make informed decisions
  • Are highly proficient with Figma, leveraging design systems, and responsive design
  • Account for accessibility guidelines through design implementaiton
  • Are your team’s strongest user advocate and uphold a high bar for quality
  • Partner with your team to define near-term requirements and explore strategic opportunities 
  • Proactively engage with folks inside and outside your team, seeking insights to shape decisions
