Sr. Software Engineer, Multiplayer at LiveLike (New York, NY)

What you'll be doing:

• 
  
• Owning Social: Making social experiences isn’t just a crucial part of our products, it is our genesis. We have built our company and product off of the idea of fully social VR experiences for sports. We’ve only scratched the surface though and we need you to make social better, more stable, and richer than any sports experience ever has been.
• 
  
• Pioneering Development: Multiple users, multiple platforms, varying internet speeds, all in perfect sync. That's your challenge. You’ll be the champion of making our live streams a cohesive and engaging multiplayer experience. So that means implementing network synchronization of live video and VoIP across multiple clients using your experience in networking technologies and approaches.
• 
  
• Learning: We want you to come in with the skills necessary to do the work. That's a given. What you’ll also be doing though is becoming the expert on everything social. That means using everything you know and being the team’s resource when it comes to any and every problem related to social.
• 
  
• Building tools: Efficiency is the name of the game. Being efficient means creating tools and processes that our entire product team use to make everyone life easier without compromising quality. Sounds easy right?
• 
  
• Scaling: “Does it scale?” It’s a big scary question and every burgeoning companies biggest hurdle. You’re going to help us confidently answer “Yes”. By building multi-user features and a front-end infrastructure necessary for all current and future developments.
