Backend Software Developer (Video)

We are building a globally distributed video streaming platform and all that it entails as far as infrastructure, architecture, operations, latency, reliability, uptime and so on. As developers we need to build software that will handle humongous™ load while still keeping low response times and correctness. We want our systems to be up for the challenges of the real world and we want you to join us in making it happen.

How we do it

Our systems and services are in a state of continuous development and improvement and we wish to keep things that way. If you have experience with distributed systems and service oriented architecture for scalable web services it would be a big plus. Other buzzwords are: micro-service architecture, scala, tdd, stateless, cassandra, events.

Education

You probably have a Bachelor of computer science or a Masters, or you can be a self taught enthusiastic programmer. We care a lot about who you are and what you are capable of.

Experience & Skills (this is a wish list, not a ‘must tick every box’):
