Streamplace is building open-source live video for Bluesky's AT Protocol as part of our mission to solve video for everybody forever. We've recently raised ~$500,000 from the Livepeer Treasury and are building our founding team.
We're in need of someone with a background in decentralized protocols and video technology. You'd be responsible for building and documenting the Streamplace segmentation and replication protocol, building out our GStreamer-based multiplatform node software, and facilitating our rollout to global low-latency platform. Our stack is primarily in Go and React Native.

Another notable component that is closed source is the discovery feed generator, where at least there is some reason.
> We did a backend rewrite from postgres to scylla and it has a bunch of deployment specific stuff, but is functionally identical to the open source postgres version. Its not really a "v2" in terms of new features, we just made it make use of our hardware really well[1]
A) ineffective at marketing the beer, because it prioritises a social justice objective instead (making it a political stance)
B) ineffective at changing any Bud drinker's mind on trans people, because it prioritises aggressive performance (making it woke)
The problem is not "oh, trans people exist, that's so woke"; it's doing activism in a way that harms both your company, because your brand is now "the gay beer", and trans people, who have to put up with a public debate about the existence of Dylan Mulvaney as well as a damaging boycott that scares marketing departments and moves the Overton window rightward.
And it seems to me that the more frictionless model is the one that looks like something people are used to; just "sign up with a thing."
That does leave the interconnection to the servers and others, but that may be how it has to be?
