C++ Software Engineer (Qt / Real-Time Video Streaming) | all gender | onsite Munich

Who We Are

SECLOUS stands for innovation, trust and security in our interconnected world. We deliver the needed capabilities to build more secure products without compromising efficiency, interoperability or control. Our patented Non-Visible Data (NVD) technology provides protection that is invisible to users and effortless for developers.

What You Will Do

In this role you will improve our C++ application for real‑time video streaming and video encryption. The focus is on turning an existing prototype into a reliable, low‑latency video processing product. You will work at the intersection of modern C++, MPEG‑2 Transport Streams, Qt application development and network communication; the video processing pipeline is central to the position.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and improve C++ components for handling live video streams, focusing on MPEG‑2 TS, including multiplexing, demultiplexing, channel separation, packet‑level processing and integration with encoding and decoding workflows.
• Process camera inputs and multiple streams efficiently while keeping latency low across different network environments.
• Contribute to our video encryption technology and integrate it into the streaming pipeline, ensuring encryption‑related processing fits reliably into the overall architecture.
• Develop a cross‑platform C++ application with Qt, using Qt Widgets, QML and Qt Multimedia; connect the UI to the video pipeline cleanly and maintainably.
• Achieve reliable low‑latency streaming across Ethernet, wireless and radio‑based communication, handling latency, buffering, packet loss, jitter, synchronization and throughput limitations.
• Shape the architecture of a new product based on an existing prototype, contributing to the video streaming tool architecture and separating business logic from UI concerns.

Your Profile

Video Streaming & Media Processing

• Practical experience with video streaming, media processing or similar low‑latency data pipelines.
• Interest in how streams are structured, transported, processed and synchronised beyond using libraries.
• Experience with MPEG‑2 Transport Streams, including packet structure, multiplexing, demultiplexing, channels, timing, buffering and integration with encoders or decoders.

Modern C++ & Systems Programming

• Solid experience with modern C++, ideally C++20, including ownership, RAII, smart pointers, asynchronous execution, threading and performance‑conscious design.

Qt Development

• Experience with Qt or strong motivation to learn it.
• Helpful experience with Qt Widgets, QML, Qt Multimedia, signals and slots or larger Qt application architectures.

Networking & Low‑Latency Systems

• Understanding of network communication and low‑latency streaming challenges such as packet loss, jitter, buffering, reconnect behaviour and bandwidth limitations.

Debugging & Runtime Analysis

• Enjoy debugging complex runtime behaviour such as stream interruptions, dropped frames, high latency, decoding issues, synchronisation problems or performance issues.

Cross‑Platform Development

• Comfortable working in cross‑platform environments, from desktop applications to headless Dockerised Linux systems.

Nice to Have

• In‑depth knowledge of MPEG‑2 TS packet structure.
• Experience with FFmpeg/libav beyond basic command‑line usage.
• Experience with RTP, RTSP, TCP/UDP or GStreamer.
• Experience with video encryption or security‑sensitive media processing.
• Experience designing media pipeline architectures.

YOU WILL BE A PERFECT FIT IF …

• You bring commitment and passion for innovative technology and continuous learning.
• You are conscientious and have high quality standards.
• You have strong communication skills and can work both in a team and independently.
• You speak fluent English – knowledge of German is a plus.
• You think outside the box.
