About us

Some people accept the internet as it is. We see what it could be.

At bunny.net, we don’t wait for change. We make it happen. You won’t find layers of red tape or play-it-safe thinking here. You’ll find people who move quickly, take ownership, and push ideas all the way to the edge. Literally.

You’ll build things that solve actual problems, not add to them.

We’re not perfect, and we don’t pretend to be. But we’re always improving. We’re looking for people who want to do the same, who take pride in their work, and aren’t afraid to challenge what’s possible.

Because everyone deserves a better internet. And we’re here to help it hop faster.

Lead Engineer (Stream)

We’re building the future of video streaming, and we are looking for an engineer to lead the way.

At bunny.net, our video platform is growing fast. As a Lead Engineer, you’ll take the reins on scaling and evolving our core VOD product. It’s built on our global CDN and packed with features like adaptive bitrate streaming, secure transcoding, customizable players, and enterprise-grade DRM.

But that’s only the beginning.

You’ll also guide the development of our low-latency live streaming service and help shape a next-generation playback experience. Think speed controls, integrated analytics, and buttery-smooth performance across millions of users.

This isn’t a maintenance role. It’s a hands-on opportunity to invent, deliver, and own meaningful features that drive real impact.

Ready to define how video works on the modern internet?

What will you do?

• Lead by doing: Act as both a hands-on engineer and a mentor. You’ll write code, review pull requests, and guide the Stream Team as they enhance our VOD service, launch our Live Streaming product, and expand the video player.
  
• Shape technical direction: Work closely with Engineering Leadership and Product Management to define architecture, set priorities, and align streaming initiatives with company goals.
  
• Own product delivery: Manage the full engineering lifecycle. You’ll help conceptualize, design, code, test, and deploy new features across VOD, live streaming, and the video player.
  
• Champion quality and performance: Establish coding standards, own code reviews, and optimize for scalability, reliability, and low latency.
  
• Collaborate cross-functionally: Work alongside Product, Sales, Support, and UX teams to gather insights and make sure each release delivers real value to users.
  
• Implement team best practices: Apply Team Topologies to enable high-performance collaboration and streamline workflows for both ongoing improvements and greenfield initiatives.

What will you add?

• Love for streaming: You’re genuinely excited about building great video experiences.
  
• Leadership experience: You’ve led engineering teams for 2+ years, whether as a tech lead, team lead, or manager, and you know how to mentor and grow people while staying close to the code.
  
• Technical proficiency: You’re proficient in ideally both C# and JavaScript. If not, you're quick to learn and eager to contribute.
  
• Domain expertise: A background in video streaming, CDN, storage, or DNS is a strong plus.
  
• Customer focus: You listen closely, care deeply, and build with the end user in mind.
  
• Data-driven mindset: You rely on metrics to guide your decisions, not just intuition.
  
• Organizational skills: You’re comfortable juggling multiple projects and know how to focus on what matters.
  
• Strategic perspective: You connect technical work to broader business goals and long-term impact.
  
• Adaptability & collaboration: You thrive in a fast-moving environment and help others do the same.

What will make us extra happy?

• Startup background: You’re comfortable moving fast, wearing many hats, and making things happen.
  
• Agile expertise: Proficiency with Scrum, Kanban, or similar agile frameworks.
  
• Developer experience (DevEx): A track record of improving developer tools and workflows.
  
• Team Topologies practice: Practical experience applying Team Topologies principles.
