Ocean Infinity Seeks Engineer for Global Maritime Video Platform

Ocean Infinity's investment in a dedicated Video Platform Engineer highlights the increasing demand for specialized video expertise in non-traditional streaming sectors, particularly those operating in challenging environments. This reflects a broader trend of industrial and operational spheres adopting advanced video for surveillance, remote operation, and data collection. The success of such roles will dictate the effectiveness of remote operational centers and the expansion of real-time video applications across industries with distributed or remote assets, necessitating robust, low-latency solutions over inconsistent networks.

The expansion follows Ocean Infinity’s December 2025 completion of its 14-vessel Armada fleet, consisting of 78-meter and 86-meter robotic ships currently in live operation. Historically, subsea video was recorded locally or transmitted via low-resolution analog links; however, the emergence of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite services such as Starlink Maritime has increased available bandwidth to 220 Mbps per vessel, per Global Satellite reporting in June 2024. This connectivity shift is enabling real-time remote survey capabilities. For instance, SubC Imaging reported in April 2024 that virtual-machine compatible DVR systems are now being integrated directly into Ocean Infinity’s remote control centers in Southampton to overlay sensor data onto live feeds. Furthermore, in May 2026, Videosoft Global and Marine AI announced a partnership to prioritize ultra-low bandwidth video for autonomous hulls, highlighting an industry-wide push to reduce satellite data costs—often a vessel's highest operational expense—without sacrificing the frame rates required for AI-driven object detection. Ocean Infinity's recruitment of a dedicated video architect suggests the company is moving to bring these disparate processing layers into a unified, proprietary software stack to serve global energy and salvage clients.
