Mux jobs, judged for you, free

What they do

Mux is video for developers and their agents. It handles video encoding, streaming, delivery, and monitoring. Mux Video encodes and streams video, and Mux Data monitors it. Mux also turns raw footage into context, structure, and answers. Customers include Patreon, Substack, Synthesia, and HubSpot. The founders started and sold Zencoder, and wrote the Video.js player.

What they value

• Care obsessively: every frame matters.
• Be human: people come first, and there is more to life than work.
• Do a lot with a little: look for a return on time and money.
• Be clear and direct: good communication leads to good thinking.
• Customers = fans: look for ways to delight users.
• Bias for action: fix a thing before it is on fire.

Where they hire

The board has one open posting: a senior full stack engineer, remote in the United States. Mux calls itself remote-equal, with offices in downtown San Francisco, New York, and London. The posting lists benefits for the US and the UK. It does not mention visa sponsorship.

Teams and roles

The one open role is in Engineering, on the Platform Experience team. That team gives customers a consistent and resilient platform. The engineer builds features in Elixir and Go backend services and a React frontend. The work covers the billing and usage platform for all Mux products, identity and account management, and webhooks and alerts. The pay range is $180K to $220K, with equity. Mux also runs Demuxed, a conference for video engineers.

What they look for

The posting asks for six or more years as a software engineer, with solid fundamentals. A CS degree is a plus. It wants a record of hard problems such as job scheduling, concurrency, and scaling. It asks for JavaScript or TypeScript and React, REST APIs, and SQL databases. It also wants cloud deployments on a container platform such as Kubernetes. Elixir, ClickHouse, and video experience are a plus. The posting does not describe the interview steps.
