Developer to the Online Distribution Team at SVT

The details 
SVT is the national public service broadcasting company. We aim to create content that engages, entertains and enriches in the service of the public. We are everywhere: online, on air – on all digital platforms. Every month, millions of people choose to use SVTs services online when they want to see or read something they are curious about – or just stay up-to-date with the latest news. Our viewers mean everything to us, and we strive to make the experience of watching content online as smooth as possible. 
The Online Distribution Team is responsible for the distribution of video to our apps and websites. We develop and maintain the whole distribution stack (CDN) that incorporates everything from hardware and network infrastructure to load balancing and highly available API services. Currently we have a multi-vendor setup with commercial CDNs in a mix with our in-house developed CDN. We don’t expect you to know all these things, but to be eager to learn more about large scale video distribution online and everything it involves.  
The missing link 
A couple of things that we think would be helpful: 
You want to be a part of a small team where we value discussions, having fun and building the right products. 
You enjoy working in a team with a great amount of autonomy about how the work is conducted, from working methods to technology choices and central decisions regarding SVT's online distribution. 
You are curious, unpretentious, open-minded and love solving challenging problems in collaboration with other people. 
You are a backend developer that is comfortable with Java and/or C. 
You have some knowledge of Linux, micro-services and networking. 
We offer you 
The opportunity to work for one of Sweden’s strongest brands with products that affect and that are appreciated by many people. Working in public service means that the focus is not primarily on generating revenue, but our goal is to improve the experience for our users. You will be part of our tech organisation where learning is in focus and where we take great care of each other. For example, we have bi-weekly hack days where you can work on any project you’d like, alone or with your team. In total, SVT has more than 200 software developers and we are a great blend of people from many different countries with different personalities and interests.
