About Twitch

Launched in 2011, Twitch is a global community that comes together each day to create multiplayer entertainment: unique, live, unpredictable experiences created by the interactions of millions. We bring the joy of co-op to everything, from casual gaming to world-class esports to anime marathons, music, and art streams. Twitch also hosts TwitchCon, where we bring everyone together to celebrate, learn, and grow their personal interests and passions. We’re always live at Twitch. Stay up to date on all things Twitch on Linkedin , Twitter and on our Blog .

OTHER LOCATIONS: This position can also be located in San Francisco, CA ; New York, NY; Denver, CO; and Salt Lake City, UT; US-Virtual (Limited States)

INTERNATIONAL LOCATIONS: Vancouver, B.C; United Kingdom/UK, France/FR, Germany/DE, Sweden/SE (not including Asian countries with a Twitch office right now due to concerns with time zones)

About the Position

Amazon Interactive Video Service (IVS) is an AWS service that allows developers to easily leverage the low-latency highly-distributed live video platform that powers Twitch in their own applications. The Video Clients team is looking for engineers to work on our web clients, including the video player SDK that provides low latency playback for Twitch/IVS and upcoming products to simplify broadcasting. Previous experience working with video technologies is a plus, but not a requirement since you’ll be partnered with video veterans throughout the company.

You’ll experience the best of both worlds while working on a brand new AWS service at Twitch—you’ll be immersed in Twitch’s creator-first culture and enjoy our perks while moving fast to build a new business. You’ll make an impact on Twitch, the largest live video entertainment platform in the world with over 1 trillion minutes of content watched in 2020, and on a rapidly growing and evolving AWS service. Our IVS customer DeNA said:

“Amazon IVS provides the leading edge of live video technology transformations and maintains high availability systems, all while reducing the operational burden of managing complex, distributed live video networks.”

We envision a product that allows for real-time interactivity broadcast to millions of viewers with less than a second of delay. To get there, we will have to push the boundaries of existing video standards, experiment with new ones, and open source our work along the way. We need your help to figure this out!
