Our platform is completely developed by our team and is used to deliver video signals via certain protocols to the end-user and today streams more than 2Tbps in peak time. The emphasis is on performance and optimization. We are working on applications based on microservices, monitoring, alerting and test automation by following the latest technologies. Also, you will shape the future experience of the customers through improving user data and content from the server-side. If you want to accomplish something you need to try it, so what are you waiting for? This is the right role for you if you like growing and being part of a challenging team that will give you a chance to explore and contribute to further development.
