Hiring: Backend / AI Engineer (1–3 years) We're building self-improving storefronts at Brink. Think: • AI agents • Rust + Python • Real-time systems • Distributed infrastructure • Convincing shoppers to buy things they were already thinking about buying 😄 You'll probably enjoy this if: - You have side projects. - You think production is a feature. - You've asked an LLM to write code and then spent 2 hours fixing it. - You like building things from scratch. Based in Bangalore (remote to start). DM me with something you've built that you're proud of.

I spend an unhealthy amount of time thinking about CDNs. Wrote up a blog post for people starting on the journey. jeet.world/practical-cdn-…

And that beings an end to the 4th IPL I have been a part of streaming… (via JioCinema and now) @JioHotstar! ✨🙂

Add OpenAI/Anthropic tokens/credits to this?

The biggest RL Hackathon in the world is happening next weekend in the campus of @Scaler_SST next weekend. 1500 finalists from 75000+ participants will be building RL environments. Looking for mentors to guide people, and take sessions. You must have prior experience with RL. Best place to meet solid young talent in the AI space, along with @AIatMeta and @huggingface tech mentors. My DMs are open, ping if you've worked on RL and can join as mentor.

Looking for enterprise codebases in languages that are relatively rare in the Open Source World, primarily: C#, Scala, COBOL, Sysverilog/Verilog, PHP, Kotlin, CUDA, Fortran, ABAP, OCaml, Slang. The purpose is to teach next generation of machines and humans. Cost not a constraint for a rich repo! X, do the magic!

Last night I got to sit in on @lossfunk's invite‑only meet, and my brain is still buzzing. Talent density was off the charts... @paraschopra in the room, folks like @jiten, @asxna, @_anshuman26, and a fantastic deep‑dive by @Naman_Bhalla on RL environments and reward hacking.

Looking to connect with folks who actively work in 'legacy-ish' / niche stacks like COBOL, modern Fortran, Ada, Verilog, Erlang/Elixir, Perl. If you’ve shipped real systems in any of these (or know someone who has), my DMs are open – want to route you to some interesting opportunities. If you haven't, please 🔁 for good karma.

🚨 JioHotstar Design is Hiring! We’re designing what the world streams next — and looking for talented folks to join us at our Bangalore HQ.

Let that sink in... a platform built from the ground up just streamed over 72.5MN fans at the same time. With personalized ads, real‑time commentary, rich match analytics and a tidal wave of emotions all holding steady. A double win for the @JioHotstar engineering and product teams... we broke global streaming records and then stayed on to celebrate India lifting the T20 World Cup trophy together.

@SBagaria2710 Avif - I had high hopes.

@jiten Insightful read! Minor add-ons: - AVIF(s) are often 20-50% smaller compared to WebP. Use for fallbacks. Browser support is strong now. Refer: ctrl.blog/entry/webp-avi… - Responsive srcset + sizes lets browser pick perfect variant (so no huge desktop images on mobile)

If you folks ever wonder how live streaming works and what goes on behind the scenes, this is what you should watch: my conversation with Prachi - the absolute best person to talk about live streaming. Her career is all-things-live-streaming. Here's the pod - youtube.com/watch?v=36N1Bz…

@ZoroTheBuilder Not at the moment unfortunately.

@jiten Any position for junior or intern role ?

I am hiring senior engineers for my Live Streaming team. Please apply directly and retweet so that good candidates can discover this opportunity. jobs.lever.co/jiostar/f482a7…

History, streamed. JioHotstar has set a new global benchmark in live streaming, recording 65.2 million peak concurrent viewers and 619 million views during the India vs England semi-final of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026—making it the most streamed live event in the world.

@Dhruv_Learns Not at the moment. But soon!

@jiten Hi @jiten , this looks like an amazing opportunity! While I see you’re hiring senior engineers, I have about 1 year of experience in backend and AI-related work. Is there any position or pathway for someone at my level to contribute to the Live Streaming team?

@Nihit Fancy stuff 😉

@jiten In the past 2 weeks, I have stopped paying for Akiflo and Rosebud with a far superior vibe coded product for myself now.

I think I finally understand why people keep saying SAAS is dead though I keep buying more and more SAAS at workplace. (1/3)

@TheKatareKid Maybe more build vs buy decisions will change towards build. That should confirm the b2b saas theory too.

That’s not the reason. Although what you are experiencing is also true, but that was never the SaaS TG. You were the prosumer in your example. The issue with a lot of b2b saas, now, is that it doesn’t add enough value for the money they charge. And definitely not a recurring per seat value. (Comparison is va building) Then there is the issue of getting locked in to a saas. Instead companies will opt for building their own from scratch with only the specific things they need if it takes a few hours/days to do it. And occasionally maintain, iterate as well. They are anyway paying for Claude et al and not writing the code. That said, it still depends on where you are in the company lifecyle and do you have the time to do it. And if you have time why are you not chasing revenue instead of reducing this cost 😛

The bar for the type of SAAS I buy personally has gone up (I shouldn't be able to build it in one sitting). I feel enterprise SAAS will continue to thrive but b2c SAAS will have to figure out better pricing. (3/3)

It's because a lot of products I use and pay for personal use are increasingly being replaced by chrome extensions and small utilities I have now written for myself. Vibe coding has replaced shell scripts and Greasemonkey scripts for me. (2/3)
