The Job

Are you in love with technology? Do you dream of creating apps for the next generation of video streaming? Interactive, with many simultaneously streaming videos and fully immersive? On mobiles, tablets, tv screens or next gen devices like smart- or virtual reality glasses? Do you like working in a team that builds a service for customers powering the biggest major global sports events in the world? Or the fastest for that matter?

Sounds good? Read on, you won’t be disappointed. Still in doubt? Check it out anyway, you may be pleasantly surprised.

Revolutionize the fan experience

At Tiledmedia we develop tech that powers the next generation of video streaming. Watch an e-Sports match where you can instantly switch between every Point-of- View, see multiple player’s PoV in small separate windows, fully synced up so you never miss any of the action. Be virtually present in the Barcelona Camp Nou football stadium, powered by our borderless 360 degrees Virtual Reality video, taste the atmosphere and view the game from multiple camera standpoints at ultra high resolutions. Have your selection of other matches playing as small moving thumbnails on top of Camp Nou stadium, switching them to “a big screen in the sky” instantly to watch a goal in the match Real Madrid is playing at the same time somewhere else. Talk with a friend on a mobile phone who is watching the same thing as a streaming multiview experience, all perfectly synchronized and in stunning visual quality.

We are revolutionising the video streaming industry - big words - that we are turning into reality by executing the Rotterdam saying "don’t talk, just work your butt off". Even more by pushing video streaming tech to its absolute limit. Building tech that truly powers the next generation of entertainment. That is our daily work.

Now we need your help to push our Android development forward, bringing new functionality and performance levels to the demonstration and reference applications on those platforms and expanding our SDK with new features.

Most of your day to day would be filled with Android development, Git and brainstorming in front of a whiteboard to solve the next bleeding edge issue you encounter together with the rest of the team. We work “close to the metal”, so you would develop in the platform’s native programming languages like Java/Kotlin and some C and C++. Your work will be in the app stores as a demonstration of the capabilities of our streaming video Player SDK and in customer's video streaming apps to millions of viewers worldwide. You will also deliver app building blocks for our customer’s video player applications, be heavily involved in API design discussions and easing integration of our Player. That work is key to the company’s sales success. A big responsibility but also a lot of fun!
