Two Orioles | Video Compression Engineer | New York, NY | Full-time, on-site At Two Orioles, we're building a team of video compression experts to create the highest-quality video compression algorithms and deliver this to some of the biggest video streaming companies in the business.

We're looking for software engineers to enhance and further develop our VP9 and AV1 video encoders. This requires experience in C/C++. Knowledge of (x86) assembly is a plus. Ideal candidates are familiar with or have experience with the AV1, VP9, H264 or HEVC bitstream formats or model software and/or have experience working on (not with) opensource video codec software (x264/5, ffmpeg/libavcodec, libvpx/aom, etc.).

Interested in building tomorrow's video? Email me at [email protected]



Compression isn't that hard. Having the best VQ is what matters, which makes having the best compression non trivial depending on the content being encoded. What is Two Orioles doing differently that the Elemental's and Harmonic's of the industry haven't done already?


Compression and VQ [=video quality] vs. bitrate are the same thing; it's not about creating small files, but rather small files _which still look great_. IMO the focus of the companies you mention is simply different. Elemental (through AWS) sells encoding services. We sell encoders. The type of client attracted by each of these is fundamentally different.
