Overview
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is building Oracle Video @ Edge, a next-generation streaming platform for premium live and linear video delivery. We are seeking a Senior Principal Ad Tech and Video Protocols Engineer to define how monetization signals, ad workflows, and streaming protocols operate across OVE.
This role will ensure OVE supports revenue-critical ad insertion, measurement, timed metadata, protocol interoperability, and playback continuity across hybrid delivery paths.
Why OCI
Build monetization-aware streaming infrastructure for premium live events
Work across video protocols, playback, ad tech, edge delivery, and real-time operations
Shape a greenfield platform where protocol and monetization design can be built correctly from the start
Solve customer adoption blockers that directly affect revenue and platform credibility
Internal Responsibilities
Responsibilities
Define OVE architecture for ad signaling, timed metadata, protocol behavior, and monetization integration
Design integration patterns for SSAI, CSAI, VAST, VMAP, SCTE-35, ad beacons, and measurement workflows
Drive protocol compatibility across HLS, DASH, CMAF, low-latency HLS, WebRTC, QUIC, and MoQ-adjacent delivery paths
Partner with player, packager, relay, control plane, observability, and product teams to validate live ad workflows
Debug playback, protocol, metadata, ad decisioning, and measurement failures during test and live-event scenarios
Define requirements for customer integrations, partner ecosystems, and live-event readiness
Support customer pilots, post-event reviews, and platform hardening for monetized live streaming
Qualifications
10+ years of experience in video streaming, ad tech, media platforms, protocol engineering, or related distributed systems
Deep knowledge of SSAI, CSAI, VAST, VMAP, SCTE-35, timed metadata, ad measurement, and live ad workflows
Strong understanding of HLS, DASH, CMAF, low-latency streaming, DRM interactions, playback behavior, and protocol edge cases
Experience designing integrations across players, packagers, ad decisioning systems, measurement vendors, CDNs, and edge infrastructure
Experience with high-scale live or linear streaming systems is strongly preferred
Programming experience in Java, Go, C++, JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, or similar production languages
