The OpenConnect team at Netflix is truly amazing and lots of fun to work with. My team at Netflix partnered closely with them for many years. Incidentally, I saw some of their job posts yesterday. If you think this presentation was cool, and you want to work with some competent yet humble colleagues, check these out: CDN Site Reliability Engineer https://jobs.netflix.com/jobs/223403454 https://jobs.netflix.com/jobs/223403454 Senior Software Engineer - Low Latency Transport Design https://jobs.netflix.com/jobs/196504134 https://jobs.netflix.com/jobs/196504134 The client side team is hiring, too! (This is my old team.) Again, it's full of amazing people, fascinating problems, and huge impact: Senior Software Engineer, Streaming Algorithms https://jobs.netflix.com/jobs/224538050 https://jobs.netflix.com/jobs/224538050 That last job post has a link to another very deep-dive tech talk showing the client side perspective.

I see netflix has an office in Toronto, but the jobs are "remote, US". Any idea if remote is also an option for canadians?

I am curious why they manually split the video to compress individual clips with different bit rates. Encoders usually have a variable-bit-rate option that does the same?

  That's the essence of adaptive streaming - the player continuously selects a video bitrate that can be downloaded quickly enough given the network conditions. That requires multiple video bitrates being available, and each one must be encoded such that the player can switch between them at known cut points.

>Senior Software Engineer - Low Latency Transport Design I am not a Netflix subscriber but I dont think Netflix does live streaming for anything much if at all. The Ultra Low Latency seems to suggest Netflix is exploring this idea. Which could be Live Sport or some other shows.
