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
