Senior Software Developer

We're growing the ClearView Rush dev team — a brand new video review and collaboration platform to be used by major studios and production houses worldwide to review dailies, cuts, and production assets securely from anywhere. Rush sits within Sohonet's ClearView Review Suite, handling everything from high-quality video streaming and transcoding through to cross-device playback and studio-scale user management. Rather than hiring for a single slice of the stack, we want versatile engineers who go deep in at least one area and are comfortable contributing across others. Whether your background is in backend services, frontend interfaces, video engineering, or native app development — if you care about building a great product and you're drawn to the challenges of video streaming at scale, we want to hear from you. We're particularly interested in candidates with strengths in video engineering or native device development, as these are areas where we're looking to grow our in-house expertise. That said, we value strong fundamentals and good judgement over any specific language or framework. Our belief is that great developers can pick up new tools — especially in an environment where AI-assisted development is making cross-discipline work more accessible than ever.

Responsibilities

• Contribute meaningfully to the design, build, and evolution of ClearView Rush — taking ownership of features end-to-end, from problem definition through to production.
• Work across the stack as needed, while bringing depth and expertise in your area of specialism — be that backend services, frontend UI, video processing pipelines, or native device applications.
• Collaborate closely with product, design, and the rest of the dev team to understand user needs, untangle complexity, and ship thoughtful solutions.
• Make sound technical decisions — choosing the right tool for the job, balancing pragmatism with quality, and thinking about maintainability and scale.
• Help shape our engineering practices, tooling, and architecture as the team grows.

Requirements

• Significant professional experience as a software developer, with demonstrable depth in at least one of the following areas:
• Video engineering — FFmpeg, GStreamer, HLS/DASH streaming, transcoding pipelines, and the lower-level languages (C/C++/Rust) used to extend or build upon media frameworks
• Native device development — Swift, SwiftUI, Objective-C, building production applications for Apple platforms
• Backend development — Python, Django, PostgreSQL, Redis, Elasticsearch, API design, data modelling
• Frontend development — JavaScript/TypeScript, React, building responsive and accessible interfaces
• A genuine interest in video streaming, media technology, or the creative tools space. You don't need to come from the industry, but you should be excited by the domain.
• Pragmatism and good engineering instincts — you know when to build it properly and when to ship it now.
• Comfort working in a small, collaborative team where you'll wear multiple hats and have real influence over the product.
• Experience with AI-assisted development tools and agentic workflows. We actively use AI tooling across our development process and expect all engineers to do the same — not as an afterthought, but as a core part of how we work.
