Streaming Intern, Engineering

At TuneIn, we are reinventing radio for a connected world, with live sports, up-to-the-minute news, curated music, millions of podcasts, and over 120,000 streaming radio stations—streamed to tens of millions of customers through our mobile and web apps, and our unmatched platform of hundreds of consumer device and service integrations. From smartphone to smart speaker to electric car, TuneIn delivers live and on-demand audio from voices you trust wherever you want to listen.  

The Streaming Team is responsible for processing, transcoding, and distributing much of TuneIn’s exclusive audio content. We have built a highly-available distributed platform for streaming live audio at internet scale. Our stack is modern architecture of containerized microservices written in Go running in a Kubernetes cluster using AWS infrastructure (with Lambdas, Cloudfront, Aurora, DynamoDB, etc.). Our platform must support features such as dynamic ad insertion, dynamic content replacement, live rewind, and is designed to play streams 24/7 without interruption for maintenance or events such as node failures. We have a rich golang codebase of over 200K lines of code, with ZERO legacy code to maintain. Our diverse problem set includes real-time streaming, distributed caching, large dataset processing, audio encoding, high availability and fault-tolerance.
