The Team
The Brightcove engineering culture is tailored to software professionals who enjoy solving challenging product development problems. The team you'll be joining is a small, self-organized Agile group. We use a lightweight development process that balances craftsmanship with execution. We strive to build engaging products with features that will delight our customers.

Our team takes pride in achieving high uptimes and quality-of-service with low operational overhead. Team members double as experts in operating the systems that they build. We are continuously shipping code -- several times a day. Everyone is encouraged to contribute to meeting our operational goals through robust, scalable designs, software quality, customer-facing service metrics, and DevOps automation.

The Role

We’re looking for you to help us transform the Video Cloud content management system into a scalable, cloud-based platform with rich, developer-friendly APIs. The Brightcove CMS holds the central catalog of information for Brightcove’s flagship Video Cloud product. This CMS is a high-performance metadata management repository with integrated search capabilities. You’ll be an integral part of a team responsible for designing, developing, and operating a fault-tolerant, low-latency system that currently handles over 5M updates and nearly 200M reads each day, with peak rates of around 5k writes and 10k reads per second. Our throughput continues to grow, having nearly doubled year-over-year for the past few years.
