4 FFmpeg Jobs in Bangalore (Bengaluru) | FFmpeg Job openings in Bangalore (Bengaluru)

Fifteen professional sports teams use our product every day. You would be the engineer who owns it.

Pixology is an AI-native platform for the sponsorship economy. Sports teams use us to turn their sponsorship inventory and a brand's objectives into visual concepts, tailored pitches and the films that win deals. Work that used to take a designer two weeks now takes hours.

We are live with fifteen teams across nine leagues, including clubs in the NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL and MLS. Three founders, out of MIT. You would be our first engineering hire in India.

THE HONEST VERSION OF THIS JOB

Our CTO built this platform largely with AI coding tools. It works. Real customers, real usage, real revenue. It also has the shape you would expect from that: patterns that differ between files, test coverage that is thin in places, and decisions nobody wrote down.

You are not joining to maintain somebody's tidy codebase. You are joining to take ownership of a working product that needs a proper engineer's hands on it, and then to build the next two years of it.

If that reads as a problem, this is not your role. If you have inherited a system before and found the archaeology satisfying, keep reading.

WHAT YOU WILL OWN

The whole stack. Frontend, backend services, database, API integrations. There is nobody else to hand a ticket to.

Applied AI. Generative models that turn sponsorship inventory and brand context into visual concepts and pitch material. Production AI, not a demo.

Evaluation infrastructure. Harnesses and regression tests that let us compare models, validate prompt changes, and track output quality, latency and inference cost. This barely exists today and it matters more every month.

The media pipeline. Timeline-based video editing. Clip trimming and sequencing, transitions, audio synchronisation, rendering and export. Genuinely hard engineering, and the part customers notice most.

Shipping. Design, build, test, deploy. Customer bugs come to you.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

Around five years building production software, with real ownership of something live.

Strong across the stack, with a view on where logic belongs rather than just the ability to write both halves.

You have inherited a codebase you did not write and made it better without rewriting it.

Working knowledge of LLM APIs and the practical tradeoffs: cost, latency, reliability, evaluation.

You debug well. Given an unfamiliar system and a failing case, you find the cause rather than the symptom.

Nice to have: media processing (FFmpeg, rendering pipelines), computer vision, evaluation tooling, early-stage experience, any interest in sport.

COMPENSATION AND SETUP

40 to 50 LPA, all cash. No equity, and we would rather say so now than in your third interview. We have taken the view that we would rather pay you properly today than hand you a number on a slide that may be worth nothing in four years.

Hybrid. At least one day a week together in our Basavanagudi office, the rest is yours. If you live in South Bengaluru, you never touch the Outer Ring Road.

HOW TO APPLY

No CV screen. Answer these two questions and we will read every one.

1. Describe a codebase you inherited that you did not respect. What did you change first, and what did you deliberately leave alone?
2. Tell us about a production bug where the cause was not where you first looked. How did you find it?

Who we are: My AI Client is building the foundational platform for the "agentic economy," moving beyond simple chatbots to create an ecosystem for autonomous AI agents and they aim to provide tools for developers to launch, manage, and monetize AI agents as "digital coworkers."

The Challenge

The current AI stack is fragmented, leading to issues with multimodal data, silent webhook failures, unpredictable token usage, and nascent agent-to-agent collaboration. My AI Client is building a unified, robust backend to resolve these issues for the developer community.

Your Mission

As a foundational member of the backend team, you will architect core systems, focusing on:

• Agent Nervous System: Designing agent-to-agent messaging, lifecycle management, and high-concurrency, low-latency communication.
• Multimodal Chaos Taming: Engineering systems to process and understand real-time images, audio, video, and text.
• Bulletproof Systems: Developing secure, observable webhook systems with robust billing, metering, and real-time payment pipelines.

What You'll Bring

• My AI Client seeks an experienced engineer comfortable with complex systems and ambiguity.

Core Experience:

● Typically 3 to 5 years of experience in backend engineering roles.

● Expertise in Python, especially with async frameworks like FastAPI.

● Strong command of Docker and cloud deployment (AWS, Cloud Run, or similar).

● Proven experience designing and building microservice or agent-based architectures.

Specialized Experience (Ideal):

• Real-Time Systems: Experience with real-time media transmission like WebRTC, WebSockets and ways to process them.
• Scalable Systems: Experience in building scalable, fault-tolerant systems with a strong understanding of observability, monitoring, and alerting best practices.
• Reliable Webhooks: Knowledge of scalable webhook infrastructure with retry logic, backoffs, and security.
• Data Processing: Experience with multimodal data (e.g., OCR, audio transcription, video chunking with FFmpeg/OpenCV).
• Payments & Metering: Familiarity with usage-based billing systems or token-based ledgers.

Your Impact

• The systems designed by this role will form the foundation for:
• Thousands of AI agents for major partners across chat, video, and APIs.
• A new creator economy enabling developers to earn revenue through agents.
• The overall speed, security, and scalability of my client’s AI platform.

Why Join Us?

• Opportunity to solve hard problems with clean, scalable code.
• Small, fast-paced team with high ownership and zero micromanagement.
• Belief in platform engineering as a craft and care for developer experience.
• Conviction that AI agents are the future, and a desire to build their powering platform.
• Dynamic, collaborative in-office work environment in Bengaluru in a Hybrid setup (weekly 2 days from office)
• Meaningful equity in a growing, well-backed company.
• Direct work with founders and engineers from top AI companies.
• A real voice in architectural and product decisions.
• Opportunity to solve cutting-edge problems with no legacy code.
