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.

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.
