Ways We Work Together

We deliver value through five types of engagement, each powered by our Engineering Specialization Areas — built over years of working on the world's most complex streaming platforms.

Product Engineering

Teams that evolve alongside your platform.

Your platform grows more complex over time. Our engineers grow with it — accumulating deep knowledge of your architecture, constraints, and roadmap. We contribute to how your product scales, not just what it ships.

Platform & Infrastructure Engineering

The technical backbone that powers your operation.

Media platforms live by their infrastructure. We design and evolve the systems that define your operational reliability — from encoding pipelines and DRM layers to data platforms and cloud infrastructure. Built for years of evolution, not just this sprint.

Specialized Engineering

Deep expertise where you need it most.

Some capabilities are too specialized to build internally but too critical to leave underdeveloped. We bring data engineering, DevOps, and reliability engineering expertise without expanding your permanent headcount — focused where your platform needs it.

Live Media Engineering Operations

Real-time infrastructure when it matters most.

Live streaming has zero margin for error. We operate your infrastructure during the moments that define your platform's reputation — monitoring, responding to incidents, optimizing workflows, and coordinating with CDNs and encoding providers. Media expertise and real-time operations engineering, working together.

Applied R&D & Standards Engineering

Shaping what the industry builds next.

Standards define how the entire industry builds. We don't just follow them — we implement, test, and validate emerging specifications in production environments. We contribute to C2PA, Open MoQ, and CMCD not because it's interesting, but because it's how we stay at the frontier of what's possible.

Under the Hood

Our Areas of Deep Engineering Expertise

Video Encoding & Processing

We design and operate the full video pipeline — from ingest and transcoding to adaptive packaging and content protection. Built for reliability at scale, across live, VoD, and low-latency use cases.

Pipeline Design Live & VoD Adaptive Streaming Transcoding & Packaging Content Protection Low-latency Delivery

Player & Frontend Engineering

Multiscreen OTT experiences built for every device — smart TVs, mobile, web. From player integration to operational interfaces, we build what your viewers and operators depend on every day.

Multiscreen OTT Player Engineering Smart TV Apps Mobile (iOS & Android) Operational Tooling

Backend & Infrastructure Architecture

The systems layer that everything else depends on. We architect APIs, microservices, and platform foundations built to handle the operational complexity and scale of production video environments.

System Architecture API Design Scalability Platform Reliability On-premises & Hybrid Database Design

Cloud Operations & Reliability

We automate, harden, and operate the infrastructure behind your platform. From CI/CD pipelines to incident response, we bring SRE discipline to live and on-demand video at scale.

Infrastructure Automation SRE Practices CI/CD Pipelines Reliability Engineering Cost Optimization Multi-cloud Strategy

Real-time Streaming Systems

The expertise that keeps live on air. We design monitoring, incident response, and failover systems for high-viewership events. Signal quality analysis, contribution feed management, vendor escalation, and the operational discipline that prevents outages.

Live Contribution & Ingest Real-time Monitoring Incident Response Failover & Redundancy Vendor Integration Event Readiness

AI/ML Applied to Media

We apply machine learning to solve real problems: QoE prediction, adaptive bitrate optimization, anomaly detection, and intelligent routing. Building systems that learn from your data and improve over time.

QoE Prediction Adaptive Algorithms Anomaly Detection Video Intelligence Personalization Data-driven Optimization

Advertising & Monetization

We build the ad insertion layer that keeps streams monetized without breaking playback. Server-side and server-guided ad insertion, dynamic ad decisioning, and seamless manifest stitching for live and VoD.

Our Approach

What makes us different

We come from media technology

Encoding, DRM, players, live operations, delivery, standards — this is the world our engineers already live in. Teams ramp in days, not quarters, and every conversation starts at the real problem.

We build on know-how

As AI makes code cheaper to write, the real work moves elsewhere: framing the right problem, designing an architecture that holds up, and keeping the solution as simple as the problem allows.

We're in for the long road

We get genuinely invested in your platform, your goals, your constraints, your people, and we stay through the evolution, treating your outcomes as our own. Care is how we work, and the partnerships behind us run for years.

We help move the industry forward

We're part of how streaming advances, contributing to C2PA, MoQ and CMCD, and hosting the meetups and Summer Camps where the people building media actually meet.

FAQ

Common questions about working with us

From Tier 1 streaming platforms processing millions of concurrent streams to companies building their first video pipeline — the common thread is always video. We work with organizations solving real problems: encoding infrastructure that doesn't scale, live stacks that can't afford to fail, platforms that need to launch and evolve fast, or R&D challenges at the edge of what's been standardized. If the problem is behind the stream, we've likely solved it before.

We work on both ongoing partnerships and milestone-based engagements — those are our primary models. Ongoing partnerships typically span 6 months to multi-year arrangements as your team becomes deeply embedded in your platform. Milestone-based engagements let you build and iterate through defined phases. The longer the relationship, the more institutional knowledge compounds.

Our engineers are based in Uruguay and Argentina (UTC-3), which gives us natural working-hours overlap with both US and Western European teams. This means real-time code reviews, live troubleshooting, and daily syncs — without the friction of fully asynchronous communication that comes with offshore arrangements in distant time zones.

Oversight alone isn't what sets us apart — plenty of firms offer that. What actually makes the difference is that we come from media. Our engineers have spent their careers solving these exact problems: encoding pipelines that don't scale, live stacks with zero room for failure, DRM, standards work. We are not learning streaming on your budget — we have already lived it.

That experience is what lets us design and recommend, not just execute what's asked. We have seen which architectural decisions hold up at scale and which don't, because we have made them before — for other platforms, under the same constraints you are facing now.

We begin with discovery sessions where we deeply understand your platform, your constraints, and most importantly, what success looks like for you. This is not a quick call, we invest time to really understand the challenge beneath what you want to build.

From there, we may recommend architectural sessions where senior engineers participate in design decisions, or we embed directly into your engineering cycle. Either way, the goal is the same: ensure every decision we make generates value and moves you toward your objectives. We do not start building until we are confident we are solving the right problem.

We shape standards. Our team is in the room where CMCD, DASH, HLS, and low-latency protocols are defined — we contribute to the specifications, and we build the first reference implementations. We know where the industry is heading because we are helping define it.

That matters for you because when you work with us, you are working with engineers who understand not just what exists today, but what is coming next. You need us in the room because we are already there.
