Our Enrouters are always up for a challenge. We ask questions, and we love to learn. We pride ourselves on having great benefits and compensations, a fantastic work environment, flexible schedules, and policies that positively impact the balance of work and life outside of it.
At Enroute, we are looking for a Mid-Level Video Engineer to join a high-impact engineering team responsible for building, supporting, and optimizing scalable video streaming solutions.
The ideal candidate has solid backend development experience-especially with Node.js and hands-on familiarity with video technologies, adaptive streaming, and media delivery systems. This roll is perfect for someone who enjoys working with realtime data streams, video processing pipelines, and distributed systems.
You will work closely with video segments, APs, backend services, and streaming workflows that support video processing, analysis, and delivery. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in technically complex environments, enjoys troubleshooting, and is passionate about improving performance and reliability at scale.
This role requires availability to support APAC time zones, with an expected working schedule between 6:00 PM - 5:00 AM (CDMX time). We are open to candidates based in APAC regions such as India, Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Australia, and other countries within similar time zones who can accommodate this schedule.
