Video processing integration and ad-supported streaming engineering for media
Arcadian integrates video processing hardware and builds streaming apps for studios and platforms. Its stack pairs player tech (ExoPlayer, Shaka Player, Video.js, HLS.js) and DRM (Widevine, PlayReady) with ad tech (Freewheel, OpenRTB), and its senior-heavy engineering hiring centers on FAST and AVOD ad delivery, showing monetization engineering is now a core growth line beyond transcoding.
