Full Job Description
Amazon Interactive Video Service (Amazon IVS) is AWS's fully managed live streaming service, built on the same battle-tested technology that powers Twitch and trusted by thousands of enterprises across gaming, social, live commerce, sports, and entertainment. Our mission: enable developers to build communities around live video. We handle everything from ingest to processing to delivery at global scale, so developers can focus on creating interactive, engaging live experiences for their audiences. Whether you're streaming to tens of millions of concurrent viewers or just getting started, Amazon IVS removes the complexity so developers can move fast. As a Software Dev Engineer III on Amazon IVS’ Real Time Video team, you will design and build the systems that power real-time and sub-second video distribution at massive scale. You will work deep in the stack to ensure low-latency, high-reliability delivery for millions of concurrent viewers. You'll collaborate with a team of engineers who care deeply about performance, correctness, and scale, and you'll have the opportunity to shape the architecture of next-generation streaming infrastructure. Key job responsibilities - Design, implement, and optimize high-performance WebRTC distribution components capable of handling millions of concurrent viewers with sub-second latency. Work at the packet level to diagnose, tune, and improve transport behavior across UDP and TCP-based protocols, ensuring optimal video quality and reliability. - Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define and evolve the architecture of real-time media delivery infrastructure. Drive technical decisions that balance scalability, cost efficiency, and customer experience. - Contribute to protocol design and implementation for emerging low-latency transport mechanisms, including Media over QUIC (MoQ) and other next-generation streaming protocols. Stay current with industry standards and innovations. - Identify and resolve performance bottlenecks th
