Who we are

At MediaKind, we're reshaping the future of streaming video—and we're moving at incredible speed. Our cloud-native, agile technology enables customers to rapidly build, deploy, and scale premium streaming experiences, removing traditional barriers to innovation and growth.

We’re on a mission to transform how the world watches video: making every moment extraordinary, personalized and valuable for content owners and their consumers.

Here, you'll be part of a dynamic team that’s redefining how media experiences come to life. Our award winning products simplify complex operations, enabling customers—from iconic sports brands to innovative broadcasters and content owners—to focus purely on storytelling, and growth. By replacing legacy complexity with cloud-connected solutions, we ensure speed, simplicity, and commercial transparency. You’ll be joining a team that values practical thinking over buzzwords, and velocity over bureaucracy.

Beyond technology, our true strength lies in our people. We are committed to fostering a passionate community of creators, developers, and artists who love what they do. Together, we’ll redefine the art of streaming.

If you're ready to build what’s next in streaming—and do it with a team that moves fast, thinks boldly, and builds with intent—come make it happen with us.

They are self-motivated, inquisitive and willing to continually learn new methods and skills and will always seek to automate their solutions to any problems they’re working to clear.

You will be comfortable working with uncertainty, rapid change and some lack of detail, being able to fill the gaps independently but equally not afraid to ask your colleagues for help when you get stuck.

Key Responsibilities

• Commissioning, regular maintenance, and daily checks of our video solutions in the cloud
