What you'll do
- Spend about 60% of time hands-on with the hardest problems
- Run 1:1s, set the technical bar, and support team members' growth
- Make joining a call one step that works, so starting a scheduled call on Teams, Zoom, Google Meet, or Webex is something a room just does
- Take the friction out of screen sharing: get a newcomer from a short code to their screen on the wall without a stumble
- Get Miracast and AirPlay stable enough to turn on by default
- Make sharing and calling feel like one product across Airtame 3, Virtual Airtame, browser, desktop, and mobile, with real-time quality that holds up on any network
- Lead the team so that a year in, the team runs on your leadership day to day
- Push AI-assisted development further: sharper workflows, better tooling choices, new patterns that make the whole group faster
What we're looking for
- Owned a team's technical direction: architecture calls and reviews where hard problems get caught
- Want the people side too: growing engineers, running 1:1s, hiring
- Comfortable across the stack, with real-time media as second nature: WebRTC, streaming, how audio and video behave over a network you don't control
- Gone deep somewhere, whether a media pipeline, native protocols, or a cross-platform client, and able to hold your own on browser, desktop, and mobile
- Experience making stubborn systems cooperate: integrating with platforms you don't own such as Teams, Zoom, Meet, Webex, and the operating system's own media APIs
- Measure yourself by the room: optimize for someone who's never seen an Airtame getting their screen up first try with no help
- Use AI as a daily tool: write code with it, debug with it, prototype with it, and help people around you do the same
Benefits
- A healthy work-life balance
- Significant responsibility and ownership over projects and your field of expertise
- Five weeks paid vacation and 5 days of extra paid AirtameFlex days
- Flexible work environment, with a hybrid mindset
- Pension and private health insurance (on FTE Copenhagen contract)
