- Experience with low-latency audio/video pipelines and media troubleshooting in constrained network conditions
- Experience with remote display / virtualization / VDI / thin client / protocol products
- Ability to work close to the protocol layer: transport, channels, device redirection, compression, session management
- Experience integrating or modifying open-source infrastructure and contributing back upstream when needed
- Strong performance mindset: CPU/GPU usage, memory footprint, startup time, reconnect behavior, QoS under packet loss
Will be a plus
- Direct experience with FreeRDP, RDP internals, virtual channels, or adjacent stacks
- Experience with media redirection/offload in VDI or thin-client products
- Deep knowledge of Windows audio/video stack, plus at least one of CoreAudio/macOS or PulseAudio/PipeWire/Linux
- Background in Qt or another mature cross-platform desktop UI framework
- Experience with FFmpeg, GStreamer, libwebrtc, hardware acceleration, echo cancellation, and device routing
