THE ROLE
Data is a core advantage of OTT/Unicast TV over traditional broadcast. As platform operator we know exactly what content our users watch, how popular a show is and how many seconds of each and every ad campaign is viewed. With roughly 3 million active users every month the data we collect from them allows for efficient and precise business processes and data based decision making.
At Zattoo, we already leverage a lot of our data (we process 6TB daily!) and still want to do more. We want to build day to day business decisions more on hard facts and less on gut feeling. Therefore we are searching for an experienced Big Data Engineer (f/m/x) to join our motivated and growing data team. You will be shaping the big data architecture in this company and building data components that change the way data is leveraged in this company!
THE TEAM
We are a diverse set of people ranging from data engineers to data and product analysts and machine learning scientists.
