Mozilla Research - Video Codec Engineer - Remote or one of the global offices
The Internet needs a royalty free video codec appropriate for universal deployment with no gatekeepers. Creating a better video codec is a difficult task, and creating one with unencumbered technology is even harder. We've achieved that goal for audio with Opus, but video is still dominated by royalty bearing codecs like H.264.
We're looking for a Senior Research Engineer to join us building Daala, a next-next generation video codec being developed by Mozilla Research in conjunction with the Xiph.Org Foundation. Daala uses lapped transforms, overlapped-block motion compensation, frequency-domain prediction, gain-shape (perceptual) vector quantization, , and non-binary arithmetic coding to achieve superior performance.
If you like low level code, numeric programming, signal processing, algorithms, or machine learning, you'd probably enjoy working on Daala.
