Contract – 6 months (Potential for permanent role)
Location – Remote 

Are you passionate about creating immersive and seamless digital experiences? Do you thrive on the cutting edge of technology and enjoy building stunning user interfaces? Are you looking for a long-term project you can get your teeth into?
If you are skilled in Media Streaming, we have the perfect role for you!

Role Overview:

You will join one of the worlds largest media streaming platforms. Your role will be to build, deploy, and maintain our media streaming platform. The team controls playback end-to-end, from transcoding uploaded media all the way to custom-embedded players in our native and web apps. We handle petabytes of data and gigabytes per second of traffic and strive to provide the best playback experience to our users.

Requirements:

You have solid backend engineering skills and are motivated to work in these areas. You’re enthusiastic about learning new skills and technologies. You’re proactive and have experience collaborating closely with other teams. You enjoy creating simple solutions to complex engineering problems and can communicate them to product managers and your team. You’re an independent thinker but thrive in a tight-knit agile team. You’re committed to the products you work on.
• Go and Terraform are our main languages, so you are either already proficient in them or excited to learn.
• Prior experience with microservices, databases, automated testing, and continuous delivery are highly valued.
• You are familiar with media streaming protocols such as HTTP Live Streaming (HLS), codecs (e.g., Opus, AAC) and transport container formats.
• Deep understanding of streaming platforms built using cloud-based file management and CDN tools (e.g. AWS S3, Cloudfront).
• Experience with content protection and encryption is a big plus. We care much more about your general engineering skills than any prior knowledge of a particular language or framework. If that sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.

This is a fantastic opportunity to secure a position on a long-term project for one of Europe’s experts in systems for Over-The-Top and broadcast companies.
