We are looking for Software Engineer to develop our open source project – Membrane Multimedia Framework. It’s an easy-to-use abstraction layer for assembling mostly server-side applications that have to consume, produce, or process multimedia streams. It’s written in Elixir with the help of native code in C. You fit this project if you know at least one of these languages (Elixir or C/C++) and you would like to learn and use the other one.
