Looking for a self-starter who can hit the ground running, and someone with commercial product experience in a related area (media transcoding, asset management, digital distribution). the ideal candidate will have a proven record of developing commercial software applications and/or services.

We need a developer who excels in a dynamic environment, and can adapt to changing customer requirements. this developer would be part of the front-line support team for customers. in addition to daily development work, this developer would be tasked with fulfilling customer change requests, troubleshooting and running acceptance tests at customer sites for transcoding settings.

Primary responsibilities include implementing .NET class libraries and services, in the areas of media transcodingYou should probably make clear here that you're not actually looking for an encoder developer. The whole posting is rather confusing, as "software developer - video transcoding" implies that the developer would in fact actually be developing encoder software, while the above quote implies that the developer would not and would rather be linking together existing libraries, something hardly in the category of "video codec software development."

Gotcah, I see what you mean. Yeah were not looking to develop any codecs, just the services around the encoding process and media workflow.

Sorry for the confusion.
