Philo | SF | ONSITE | Hiring both front end and backend engineers
We're a small team building the future of TV. Philo lets you watch your favorite shows on all the devices you care about with intelligent search, insightful discovery, and effortless sharing. We have access to the live content that Tim Cook can only dream of, and we have a small, dreamy product team building on top of it.
Our product is available to subscribers at a few small cable companies, and to hundreds of thousands of college students across the country. We're growing fast, and will be dramatically expanding our residential offerings this year. If you want to see a demo, drop us a line.
Backend: We're building a massive distributed video encoding platform that can ingest content from anywhere/anything and spit out clean, beautiful DASH/SS. We are a two person team that manages nearly 1000 machines in 50 datacenters, and we're constantly adding more. If you like big infrastructure problems, we've got them.
Frontend: We're building the cable box of the future on four different platforms (Web/Roku/iOS/Android). Everybody does design/product work, and we move very quickly.
We are not dogmatic, but here's what our stack looks like right now: Lots of Ruby on the backend, some Python (Salt), and some C. We have React and its ilk on the fronted, along with plenty of native code for iOS/Android/Roku.
