YOUR FUTURE, ON DEMAND
The ideal blend of stability and flexibility. A genuinely human employer that cares for people and the planet. True autonomy to shape what comes next, for us and you. This is the perfect platform to take your career where you want. 
Back in 2005, we pioneered Europe’s first TV streaming service. Today, we’re the world’s first certified climate neutral TV streaming provider. Several million users across three countries. Over 230 colleagues of 47 nationalities. We’re the grown-up start-up, helping to shape a better future since day one. That hasn’t changed, even if the world has. We’re friendly, international, inclusive – and our people say we’re reliable and transparent, too. It’s why they trust us and believe in what we do. 
THE ROLE
Video is the heart of all Zattoo’s services. We build and operate a platform that carries thousands of 24/7 live TV channels, as well as on-demand content from dozens of providers. The systems to stream all that content and manage the stream sessions for all users is built and maintained by our highly skilled Streaming &amp; CDN team.
As Engineer Manager, your role is to enable your team to do their best. As a leader, you should be approachable, thoughtful, listen well, and facilitate an easy exchange of ideas, knowledge, and practices. You should bring your own ideas on how to further optimize the architecture and help extend the capabilities of our system every day. You should be curious about the inner workings of our video encoding and streaming, and be able to think and operate at scale. 
THE STREAMING &amp; CDN TEAM
The team creates the streams that are directly accessed by our end users, for all content that is ingested to our platform. It develops our Smart CDN and makes sure that Quality of Experience stays as high as possible, keeping reliability as the highest priority. The Smart CDN consists of a distributed CDN architecture of in-house software components that does advanced caching and JIT packaging and encryption.
Part of the team’s responsibility is to implement and maintain various DRM system server components. We also handle stream session management to granularly apply business and access logic to streamed content.
We work closely with several “sister teams” which maintain other video-related components: Ingest &amp; Storage, Ads Backend (they build our in-house SSAI solution) and Playback.
