At Net Insight, you will work on the software that makes reliable media transport possible — solving demanding engineering problems together with experienced colleagues who enjoy sharing their knowledge.\nWe are looking for a senior C++ developer to join the Nimbra Edge team. This is a hands-on role with substantial technical ownership, where you will improve performance, investigate complex problems and influence the architecture behind a product used in professional media delivery.\nSome of the reasons to join Net Insight:\nTechnically challenging work in modern C++23, close to Linux, networking and hardware.\n\nThe opportunity to influence architecture, implementation and development practices.\n\nA small, autonomous team within an established international technology company.\n\nFriendly, knowledgeable colleagues who value collaboration and open discussion.\n\nFlexible working hours and a workplace that understands life outside work.\n\nTHE PRODUCT AND TEAM \nNimbra Edge enables the transport of live video across internet and private networks. You will join the team responsible for its dataplane: the C++ software that handles the actual flow of media through the system.\nThe dataplane team consists of four engineers and works closely with seven colleagues developing the cloud parts of the product. Together, they cover a broad technical scope, from cloud software to the systems interacting with the underlying hardware.\nIt is a friendly, collaborative group where you can discuss a difficult problem, challenge an idea and ask for another perspective. You will have room to work independently, with colleagues who support one another and care about the quality of the result.\n\nTHE ROLE \nA central part of your work will be getting more from the available hardware: increasing channel capacity, reducing resource consumption and maintaining predictable performance under demanding conditions.\nYou will move between architectural decisions and detailed investigation, following a problem through the stack to understand its root cause. That might mean examining memory access and concurrency, analysing network traffic or investigating how Linux scheduling affects latency.\nYour work will include:\nDeveloping and improving performance-critical software in modern C++.\n\nProfiling and optimising CPU, memory and network resource usage.\n\nInvestigating difficult bugs across software, operating system and hardware interactions.\n\nMaking architectural decisions and building solutions that remain clear and maintainable.\n\nReviewing code and sharing technical knowledge within the team.\n\nTesting and validating behaviour on real hardware in the lab.\n\nThe current focus includes high-performance packet processing with DPDK and uncompressed video and audio transport using SMPTE ST 2110. You will also encounter precision timing, Linux tuning and hardware-accelerated media processing.\nYou can learn ST 2110 and DPDK here. What you bring is the systems knowledge and engineering judgement needed to understand challenging problems and work through them.\n\nYOUR PROFILE \nYou are an experienced developer who still enjoys being deeply involved in the code. You take initiative when the next step is unclear, investigate before drawing conclusions and look for solutions that keep the system as simple as possible.\nYou also enjoy working with others. You explain your reasoning, listen to different perspectives and share what you learn. Your technical contribution includes helping the team reach sound decisions together.\nWe are looking for:\n10+ years of professional software development experience.\n\nDeep knowledge of modern C++ and systems programming, including memory management, concurrency and performance profiling.\n\nStrong Linux experience, including troubleshooting involving the operating system, scheduling or hardware.\n\nSolid networking fundamentals and confidence analysing traffic and protocol behaviour at packet level.\n\nExperience developing performance-critical or real-time software with demanding latency, jitter or throughput requirements.\n\nThe ability to take ownership of technical problems and make well-founded design decisions.\n\nExperience with video streaming protocols and media transport is particularly valuable. Other relevant experience includes DPDK or XDP, precision time synchronisation, NICs and drivers, or hardware-accelerated media processing.\nYour background may be in media technology, telecom, networking or another field with demanding systems and performance requirements. Previous broadcast experience is welcome, but is not required.\nThe team also uses AI tools in its development workflow, and welcomes curiosity about how they can support your work.\n\nLOCATION Net Insight develops technology for professional media networks, helping broadcasters, service providers and media organisations transport live content reliably. Its engineering work spans hardware, networking and cloud software, bringing together specialists across several technical disciplines.\nFor more info, visit https://netinsight.net/\n\nThis recruitment is direct employment at Net Insight AB and all applications, questions, administration, and recruitment processes are managed by Pinetree AB.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5301,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":10,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Flexible schedule"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-12T09:30:00Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":46,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.49,"p_room":0.945,"age_days":9,"expected_fill_days":27,"reasons":["seen:9","agency","win:mid"],"computed_at":"2026-10-22T06:10:10Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/pinetree-senior-c-systems-developer-live-media","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/pinetree-senior-c-systems-developer-live-media.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-22T09:07:33Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":5654,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-23T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4422924},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4422924"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fpinetree-senior-c-systems-developer-live-media"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fpinetree-senior-c-systems-developer-live-media"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fpinetree-senior-c-systems-developer-live-media"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/pinetree-senior-c-systems-developer-live-media\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fpinetree-senior-c-systems-developer-live-media"}]}
