About the Role: As a Senior Software Engineer at JioStar, you will play a key role in designing and developing the core backend systems that power our live streaming workflows. You’ll own projects end-to-end, operate with a high degree of autonomy, and help shape the architecture and future direction of our low-latency, distributed systems. This role is ideal for engineers who are passionate about solving complex backend challenges, building resilient systems at scale, and mentoring others toward engineering excellence.

About the Team: At JioHotstar, our Live Video Engineering team owns the end-to-end orchestration of live video production. We generate and manage live streams tailored to diverse business requirements, supporting millions of sports fans across India. Our responsibilities include ingesting feeds from stadiums or satellites and fanning them out based on monetization models, subscription tiers, and platform-specific needs. If you're excited by the challenge of building ultra-low-latency systems at scale, learning continuously, and working on a product that’s at the heart of India’s live streaming experience—we’d love to talk. Join us and help shape the future of live streaming.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Design and build scalable, resilient microservices that drive JioStar’s live streaming infrastructure
  • Lead the end-to-end delivery of complex backend projects—from technical design through deployment, monitoring, and iteration
  • Write high-quality, maintainable, and well-tested code with a strong focus on fault tolerance and system reliability
  • Drive architectural decisions and contribute to the long-term engineering roadmap
  • Collaborate with Product Managers, Operations, and cross-functional teams to translate business requirements into technical solutions
  • Champion operational excellence, including performance tuning, incident management, and root cause analysis
  • Mentor junior engineers, conduct code reviews and technical deep dives, and promote a culture of engineering excellence and knowledge sharing
  • Skills and Attributes for Success:
  • Strong proficiency in Python or Golang
  • Experience designing and building distributed systems at scale
  • Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS preferred, AWS Mediaservices experience is a plus), messaging systems (e.g., Kafka), and CI/CD pipelines
  • Proven ability to work autonomously in fast-paced environments, manage priorities, and deliver high-impact results
  • Passion for mentoring and growing fellow engineers
  • Interest in advertising technologies and optimizing systems for user and business outcomes

Preferred Education and Experience:

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science or a related field.
  • 4-6 years of experience in backend development, with a focus on building production-grade systems.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
