Today, our brands include Boost Mobile, DISH TV, Gen Mobile, Hughes and Sling TV.
Our DISH Technology team challenges the status quo and reimagines capabilities across industries. Whether through research and development, technology innovation or solution engineering, our team members play vital roles in connecting consumers with the products and platforms of tomorrow.
Job Duties and Responsibilities
The dyna streaming backend team is tasked with solving complex scale, latency, and reliability challenges associated with delivering high-quality video content to millions of active Sling TV customers. This role addresses critical engineering bottlenecks by designing resilient services that package, encrypt, and dynamically generate manifests for adaptive bitrate streams. Engineers in this position focus on mitigating piracy risks through robust digital rights management while simultaneously optimizing ad insertion workflows to maximize monetization without compromising the quality of experience. Ultimately, the position bridges the gap between sophisticated cloud infrastructure and seamless playback across a highly diverse client device ecosystem.
What Success Looks Like
(In this job, you will)
Design, build, and maintain robust backend services for dynamic video packaging and manifest generation using HLS and MPEG-DASH protocols to support millions of concurrent viewers
Implement and operate secure, end-to-end DRM workflows using Widevine, FairPlay, or PlayReady to protect premium content throughout its delivery lifecycle
Maintain high platform uptime by actively resolving production incidents, leading root cause analyses, and scaling observability tools to identify streaming anomalies before they impact viewers
Design and deploy high-performance server-side and client-side ad insertion (SSAI) systems that align with department monetization and streaming quality key results (OKRs)
Leverage AI-driven diagnostic tools and code assistant models to accelerate service refactoring, automate regression test generation, and proactively predict backend performance degradation
Skills, Experience and Requirements
Core Skills and Competencies (What you'll bring)
Strong programming expertise in backend systems languages such as Go, Python, Rust, or C++ to write performant, concurrent, and dry code
A deep understanding of adaptive bitrate (ABR) streaming concepts, manifest files, video codecs (H.264, HEVC, AV1), and container formats (MP4, TS)
Critical experience designing, developing, and deploying distributed, fault-tolerant media systems and DRM integrations within large-scale production environments
Excellent cross-functional collaboration and decision-making skills to coordinate complex integrations with advertising technology and observability teams
Strong AI literacy and application skills, demonstrating the capability to integrate generative AI tools into development, debugging, and system analysis workflows to boost delivery velocity
Functional knowledge of modern observability frameworks to interpret metrics, traces, and logs from tools like Grafana, Dynatrace, or NewRelic
Additional Qualifications
Familiarity with cloud-based media services (such as AWS Elemental Media Services) and public cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP)
Minimum Requirements
Minimum Education: Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience
Minimum Experience: 5+ years of experience in backend software development or systems engineering
Required Technical Skills: Must have at least 5 years of experience with:
Go, Python, Rust, or C++ backend programming
Widevine, FairPlay, or PlayReady DRM technology integration
HLS or MPEG-DASH streaming protocols and manifest files
