Mux helps teams ship high-performance and cost-effective video in minutes, not months. Build better video into anything from websites to platforms to AI workflows. Backed by Accel, Y Combinator and a16z.
About the role
Mux makes video easy for developers. Our APIs handle encoding, streaming, playback and analytics for companies like Patreon, Substack and Robinhood. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 5+ years of data engineering experience, with a strong software engineering foundation
- You have built and run a data stack end to end in production. That means ingestion, warehouse, transformation, orchestration, and keeping it running after launch, not just one layer of it
- Deep hands-on dbt experience: model design, testing, macros, CI, and refactoring a large, messy project into something maintainable
- Hands-on experience administering a cloud data warehouse (Snowflake preferred, BigQuery or Databricks considered), including permissions, performance tuning and cost management
- Data contracts, data observability tooling (e.g. Metaplane, Monte Carlo, Elementary)
- Expert SQL and strong data modeling skills (dimensional modeling, grain, slowly changing dimensions)
More about this role
Mux is video for developers and their agents. We handle the hard problems of video, like encoding, streaming, delivery, and monitoring, along with the hard problem of understanding it: turning raw footage into context, structure, and answers. Video is a huge part of people’s lives, and we want to help make it not just playable, but understandable.
We’re committed to building a healthy team that welcomes a diverse range of backgrounds and experiences. We want people who care about our mission, are ready to grow, believe in our values (from Be Human to Turn Customers Into Fans), and want to make the people around them better.
You’ll be joining a tight-knit team with experience at places like Google, YouTube, Twitch, Zencoder, Fastly, and more. Our founders previously started (and sold) Zencoder, an early leader in cloud video technology, and authored Video.js, the biggest HTML5 video player on the web. We organize Demuxed, the premiere conference for video engineers in the world.
We’re backed by top investors like Coatue, Accel, Andreessen Horowitz, and Y Combinator. You’ll get to work with amazing companies: hundreds of startups, plus Patreon, Substack, Synthesia, and HubSpot....
