Senior Software Engineer, Data Platforms & Monetization

About Wowza

Wowza powers the world’s leading live and on-demand streaming experiences. From global events and enterprise broadcasts to AI-powered video intelligence at the edge, Wowza provides the most trusted, extensible, and developer-friendly streaming platform on the market.

As we move into the next era of streaming, we are expanding our product organization with builders who combine technical depth, analytical rigor, and a customer-first mindset.

The Role

Wowza Media Systems is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to join the team responsible for the core data infrastructure that powers our entire product ecosystem — including the systems that process product usage, manage customer account data, and report into our billing and CRM platforms.

This is not a greenfield role. You'll be joining a team with a set of mature, business-critical systems and will be expected to understand them deeply, identify opportunities to modernize and reduce complexity, and execute those improvements with confidence and care.

Key Responsibilities

• You will ensure that every byte of product usage is accurately captured, transformed, and monetized, directly impacting the company’s bottom line.
• You will have a seat at the table for architectural decisions as we transition our data pipelines.
• Work with AWS Lake Formation, AWS Glue, and other data lake and ETL tooling, ensuring reliable data ingestion, transformation, and availability for cross-system reporting
• Bring modern patterns (Hexagonal Architecture, DDD) to modern Laravel (v11+) codebase
• Integrate and maintain connections between internal systems and third-party platforms (billing, CRM, payment providers, etc.)
• Maintain and evolve customer-facing account management UIs built with JavaScript, TypeScript, and React
• Participate in code reviews, architectural discussions, and sprint ceremonies
• Collaborate with remote teammates across time zones via video conference and async communication

Nice To Have

Experience with AI-assisted development tools such as Claude Code

Experience with CPQ/billing platforms such as Zuora

Experience integrating with CRM/CPQ platforms such as HubSpot or Salesforce

Experience with containerization and orchestration tools (Docker, Kubernetes)

Experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Pulumi, etc)

Familiarity with Scrum/Agile or Kanban methodologies

Why This Role?

This group sits at the intersection of nearly every system at Wowza — if data moves, we're involved. You'll have high visibility, real ownership, and the opportunity to leave a meaningful mark on infrastructure that the entire company depends on. If you enjoy untangling complexity, building things that last, and working with a collaborative team that values pragmatism over hype, this is a great fit.

Requirements

• 8+ years of professional software engineering experience
• Strong hands-on experience with modern PHP and the Laravel framework
• Solid understanding of relational databases (MySQL or similar) and data modeling
• Experience with cloud infrastructure, particularly AWS (EC2, RDS, S3, Lambda, or similar)
• Experience building and maintaining REST API integrations with third-party platforms
• Skilled with front-end technologies including JavaScript, TypeScript, and React
• A track record of inheriting legacy systems, assessing technical debt, and executing pragmatic improvements
• Strong written and verbal communication skills — you can articulate tradeoffs clearly and build consensus
• Self-directed and comfortable working as part of a geographically distributed team
