You have a passion for streaming media technologies and want to build the next generation of experiences for learners! You will be a key leader in developing our scalable platform for the delivery of video and other media assets such as images, files and captions. We are looking for expertise in designing simple systems and extendible, easy-to-use APIs; knowledge of video players, standards, and formats; as well as an understanding of browser- and device-specific specifications, in particular related to media delivery.

• Influencing: You develop relationships effectively up, down, and across the organization and are able to strategically use these relationships to help move your work forward. You scope  a solution that will  “get to yes” and also are capable of pushing back on disagreement if they will not provide the outcome needed for the team or the business.
