Job Description

On-site
Your team: 
 
The Player Engineering domain is one of the most crucial parts of the DAZN stack. We build, own and support the frontend playback experience across customers’ devices at DAZN. We strive to deliver the best possible video experience across all devices (web, set-top boxes, TVs, games consoles, mobiles) regardless of network conditions. To do this we build everything from our own tooling and automation applications to test and evaluate devices to our own complex heuristics to ensure that we deliver the highest quality video streams to customers as often as possible based on their network conditions.

The way we work: 
 
We obsess over data and use it to measure how we are performing against our customers’ and the business’ expectations, as well as using it to build our backlog and to inform where we should focus our development efforts. We value agile delivery practices and are continually evolving and reviewing our processes. Delivery teams are typically made up of around 5-8 Engineers, a Team Lead, and a Product Manager. Our teams are from various and diverse backgrounds and we welcome and encourage new perspectives and opinions openly. Whilst we welcome anyone with experience in the streaming or OTT industry, it is by no means a prerequisite to work on this team. Successful engineers are people who love to solve challenging problems and enjoy the opportunity to work on a variety of features and devices.  
 
As our new Devices Team Software Architect within Player Engineering, you will have the opportunity to be a technical leader on one of the teams providing the perfect streaming experience for millions of sports fans across the world.  
 
As a Software Architect you are technical and hands on, driving the technical approach for the team and advising the leadership team on technical options, whilst supporting and mentoring engineers within the delivery team.  
 
This team’s responsibilities include innovating, developing and maintaining our own custom built video player and native (built in) on connected TVs, set top boxes and games consoles. We work to ensure smooth playback experience for all customers across this broad set of devices managing and validating against our playback KPIs.
