Back in 2005, we pioneered Europe’s first TV streaming service. Today, we’re the world’s first certified climate-neutral TV streaming provider. Several million users across three countries.

The Role & The SRE Team

At Zattoo, we’re building the TV platform of the future. With ever-growing demand for unicast TV delivery, we’re scaling our custom-built infrastructure to deliver live and on-demand video at multi-Tbps scale. Owning the full chain—from ingest, encoding/transcoding, packaging, to delivery—our engineers have the unique opportunity to shape how TV is experienced in the future.

As a Site Reliability Engineer (SRE), you’ll help us scale, optimize, and secure our systems while ensuring maximum performance and reliability. From improving monitoring and alerting, building 24/7 operations tools, to collaborating with backend and SRE/Ops teams—your impact will be felt across the platform.

If you’re passionate about distributed systems, automation, and on-premise infrastructure, this is your chance to push streaming TV technology to the next level.

• Analyze, understand, and scale Zattoo’s core services for efficiency and reliability.
• Optimize and automate monitoring, alerting, performance, and profiling setups.
• Build and improve tools to monitor and control services.
• Propose and implement improvements across platforms, infrastructure, tooling, and processes.
• Collaborate with engineers to design and run performant, scalable, and reliable systems.
• Champion stability and security by identifying weak spots, raising awareness, and developing mitigation strategies.
• Participate in the on-call rotation to respond to incidents and maintain service reliability.

What You’ll Bring

• 2+ years of hands-on experience in Site Reliability Engineering, DevOps, or Operations, ideally operating large-scale distributed systems.
• Strong Kubernetes experience, preferably on-premise clusters.
• Experience with containerized environments (Docker, LXC, Kubernetes) and virtualized systems (VMs).
• Experience with configuration management and infrastructure automation (e.g., Puppet, Ansible).
• Understanding of telemetry, observability, and monitoring practices (metrics, tracing, logging).
