Building better teams, bit by bit. Create and work in digital Spaces designed to make virtual interactions more human.

Gather

Product Manager

• Gather is a small team right now, which means every PM has an extremely significant role in shaping and executing the company's vision. We are working on some of the boldest bets in the company's history, and we are looking for a strong product lead to help drive core parts of the next generation of Gather.
• Use a combination of data, research, market trends, and the team's instincts to articulate and socialize the strategy for your product lines
• Define short and long-term goals, and own the short and long-term roadmap that we believe will reach those goals
• Partner with design and engineering (as well as go-to-market) teams to deliver projects from inception to experiment to fully launched
• Develop a strong operating model and set of processes to get things done based on project & team needs and constraints
• Spend lots of time with prospects, customers, and members to develop empathy for our end-users and to develop an informed perspective on how to best address their needs
• Think outside of the box to solve problems with novel and creative solutions that are made possible by virtual offices

• Expand the expressiveness of objects and build the first few examples (think levers which cause [anything], projectiles, sounds, etc)
• Improve the reliability, scalability, and performance of the video system through better architecture, testing, and monitoring
• Rearchitect the game service to be stateless and massively parallelized
• Build a plugin system that allows anyone to use community-created add-ons

Staff Backend Engineer - Platform

• As a Staff Software Engineer within the Video team, you would take responsibility (along with a small team) for the design and implementation of this integral part of our video platform. Video lies at the heart of the Gather experience, providing a low-latency, seamless experience for the spontaneous interactions we're known for. Our video infrastructure handles thousands of concurrent users, spanning all continents of the world. Unlike traditional room-based video infrastructure, our video infra allows any two users to have an audio/video connection in an instant — enabling experiences where a speaker can address a large audience while the audience remains quiet to the speaker, yet the audience can still mingle amongst their neighbors, just like in real life. Our self-operated video infrastructure spans 5 data centers, and multiple clouds, and features an SFU design built in-house.
• Where you will make an impact:
  - Deliver the tastiest, most appealing video frames our users’ internet connections can endure
  - Optimize our video servers until they laugh with glee at the notion of having hundreds of simultaneous meeting participants
  - Re-architecting our video system, to implement SFU-cascading and replace our current model of multiple simultaneous SFU connections with single connections with backhaul of video between SFU instances
  - Degrade quality with grace for bandwidth or CPU-constrained devices, and handle spurious spikes in latency/congestion with a shout of “Not today, internet weather!”
  - Build tools that guide us to our goal of an exceptionally reliable meeting platform
  - Instrument our service until it looks like a time-traveling Delorean you saw in those movies
  - Build automated tests that ensure the reliability and performance of our video infrastructure as we make it more awesome
