Full Stack Product Developer

Build systems that cannot go down

Media Lab builds The Unified Media Workflow & Management Platform
, designed for users, built for security.

Our platform powers media workflows for broadcasters, media producers, sports organizations and global brands. Every day, content viewed by millions moves through our systems. Reliability is not optional.

We are fully cloud agnostic
, running across AWS, Azure and hybrid environments. That means real architectural challenges, real ownership and zero vendor lock-in thinking.

We are not looking for someone who just wants tickets.

We want a curious, product-minded engineer who wants to build, improve and own parts of a serious SaaS platform.

The mindset we look for

Be honest with yourself:

• Are you comfortable working in ambiguity?
• Do you get excited by platform complexity instead of avoiding it?
• Do you enjoy understanding how things work at a deep level and improving them until they are elegant and reliable?

You will own systems that cannot go down
.
You will ship features used by studios, sports teams and global brands.
You will make architectural decisions that affect real production environments.

Ownership is real here. So is responsibility.
