Responsibilities
Develop and optimize client-side RTC/live streaming interaction capabilities: co-streaming (joining/leaving the stream), audio routing, in-ear monitoring/audio mixing, weak network strategies, video quality/bitrate adaptation, and foreground/background/system interruption handling.
Deeply integrate third-party RTC SDKs (e.g., Agora) or in-house SDKs: integration, version upgrades, parameter management, compatibility and regression testing, online issue troubleshooting (via logs/callbacks/state machines).
Responsible for client stability and performance: audio/video threading models, CPU/memory/power optimization, end-to-end latency reduction, troubleshooting of complex issues such as stuttering, no audio/black screen.
Build client observability: key path instrumentation, QoS reporting, exception capture, automatic issue attribution (network/device/permissions/state machine/SDK).
Collaborate with server-side, testing, and operations teams: formulate stress testing plans, conduct rehearsals, and handle online incident emergency response and post-mortems.
Minimum Qualifications
3+ years of Android/iOS/Web (one or multiple platforms) R&D experience; experience with audio/video/live streaming/IM/conference products is preferred.
Familiar with audio/video fundamentals on your platform:
Android: AudioRecord/AudioTrack, AudioFocus, permissions & background restrictions, device compatibility.
iOS: AVAudioSession, audio routing/interruptions, ReplayKit/background strategies.
Web: WebRTC APIs, getUserMedia, RTCPeerConnection, browser compatibility & security policies.
Understanding of real-time audio/video principles and common issues: packet loss/jitter/latency, echo & howling, audio routing errors, permission issues, state machine errors leading to “mutual hearing failure,” etc.
Strong engineering skills: modular design, testability, stability governance (Crash/ANR), performance profiling and optimization.
Ability to understand and utilize core callbacks and diagnostic information from RTC SDKs; capable of online issue localization (building evidence chains using QoS metrics and logs).
Preferred qualifications
In-depth experience with WebRTC (e.g., having read/modified parts of the source code, performed custom builds).
Experience adapting to complex network environments: overseas networks, weak network strategies, UDP restrictions, NAT traversal related to enterprise/campus networks (knowledge of ICE/STUN significantly enhances troubleshooting efficiency).
Specialization in audio: 3A (AEC/NS/AGC), audio mixing/voice changing/spatial audio, on-device noise reduction, or AI enhancement.
Client-side low-level capabilities: C++ core libraries, JNI/NDK, Metal/OpenGL, hardware encoder/decoder tuning, optimization for low-end devices.
Experience supporting large-scale events: pre-event rehearsals, gradual rollouts (gray releases), feature toggles, emergency strategies, and rapid rollback plans.
Experience developing real-time live streaming filters.
