SEEKING FREELANCER | REMOTE (North America or Europe) or ONSITE (San Francisco) | Electron Expert
We sell digital signage, and a host of related products, that create interactive retail experiences. This is powered by a small stick, that you plug into the back of any TV. That stick is Intel hardware, which runs Linux, various Docker containers, and the main UI for our service, through Electron.
The software that runs on it hasn't really been touched for a few years, and we are running into issues. The main issue is video decoding, where we cannot get hardware acceleration to work in Electron. For 1080p we've been able to ignore it, but we want to support 4K now, where things don't work without video acceleration.
We are looking for someone who is an expert with Electron + Linux + dealing with driver issues between them. If things go well, there will be more work down the line (and if you want, a full time position).
If you fit the bill, but are located elsewhere, please still get in touch. These locations are preferred, as it'll make shipping hardware for testing to you easier, but for the right candidate we can make an exception.
