Senior Software Engineer (Cloud Services)

We are looking for new talent that can strengthen our products engineering team and help accelerate our work on cloud services! Cloud Services refer to our backend web services & systems that power the Accedo One video experience platform.

It’s an ever-changing tech landscape

Engineers in the team tend to be polyglot which has resulted in a collection of microservices that are implemented using a number of different stacks, e.g. Java/Spring, Go and Node.js/Typescript/Javascript.

We are actively working to ensure our technology stack stays modern and right technologies are selected for the right job.

Engineering culture

The team has an engineering-mindset where members use their toolsets to solve a broad range of tasks. Software development is a big part of that but noting that it’s still only a subset of what we see as software engineering. As an example, even though there’s an operations team with the overall responsibility of support-systems like build servers, engineers work with the full app/dev lifecycle and are as such ultimately responsible for having proper build pipelines (which may involve scripting, testing new tools etc.). Another example is that software engineers work closely with QA engineers, collaborating on solutions for system/performance testing.

ACCEDO: FOR ALL VIDEO SERVICE PROVIDERS EMBRACING CHANGE

Accedo is the trusted video experience transformation pioneer improving the lives of video consumers by the hundreds of millions.

Accedo customers include global video service leaders like NBCUniversal, Fox, Disney, HBO, Telefonica, Deutsche Telekom and Netflix, among many others.
