Mayflower is an international IT company and a true industry trendsetter.

We’re really into great video playback experiences. We want playback to start immediately, at the best possible quality, and we never want it to stop (literally).

To provide the best live streaming experience, we develop and maintain our client-side player solution that considers every factor possible, such as network conditions, device capabilities, and stream specifics. Our team has extensive experience in live video streaming, high-load networking, and software engineering.

Our front-end sub-team’s primary goal is to achieve the client’s freezes-free viewer experience by looking for and trying out new ways to receive, process, and render media streams. We’re trying to integrate and estimate the benefits of new codecs and containers, live streaming protocols, and new available browser APIs.

We are looking for a frontend engineer to help us further improve the streaming quality of experience on mobile and desktop browsers.
