YOUR FUTURE, ON DEMAND
The ideal blend of stability and flexibility. A genuinely human employer that cares for people and the planet. True autonomy to shape what comes next, for us and you. This is the perfect platform to take your career where you want.
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. Over 230 colleagues of 47 nationalities. We’re the grown-up start-up, helping to shape a better future since day one. That hasn’t changed, even if the world has. We’re friendly, international, inclusive – and our people say we’re reliable and transparent, too. It’s why they trust us and believe in what we do.
THE ROLE
Orchestrate is Zattoo's modern IPTV/OTT middleware — powering both our own B2C streaming services and the B2B operators who build their TV products on top of it. It's live in production, onboarding new operators, and replacing Zattoo's legacy middleware.
Lead the backend team through this growth phase — with real ownership over the platform's technical direction and the ability to navigate the complexity of a multi-tenant platform with real customers depending on it.
THE ORCHESTRATE TEAM
A cross-functional team of senior backend and full-stack engineers, product managers, and designers. The stack is Python/Django, PostgreSQL, and Kubernetes. Each operator runs on their own isolated instance with independent lifecycle and data boundaries.
The team is the operational owner of the platform — spanning client-facing and operator-facing APIs, an operator management console, a developer portal, and integrations across streaming, content, identity, and data systems. Other teams across the organization contribute to the codebases of the platform and collaborate on shaping APIs and integrations.
You won't be starting alone: the current engineering lead will partner with you as co-EM during ramp-up and remain connected to the team long-term.

With our DTC business, users in Switzerland, Germany and Austria watch a variety of TV channels as well as a selection of video-on-demand content on almost all available devices via the Zattoo apps. Since 2012, we have also been running our own B2B business, making our technology available to media companies and network operators as an international TV-as-a-Service platform.
Zattoo strives to satisfy existing customers and users and attract new ones by offering state of the art TV features with a superior user experience across many devices and platforms. For our achievements as a TV streaming pioneer, we were awarded the Technology and Engineering Emmy® Award by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences for 2020, among others.
We act responsibly: We have been ClimatePartner-certified and committed to climate protection since 2021. We are taking active action to further reduce our carbon footprint. As the first TV streaming provider worldwide, we therefore even operate one of our data centres directly in a wind turbine.
We are growing and we are looking for new team members. If you like space for creativity, want to feel empowered, if you prefer an atmosphere of continuous learning and trust based working then Zattoo is the right place for you. We have a culture of embracing mistakes as a measure of learning and a very respectful style of working together. At Zattoo we can be ourselves and simply do what we are best at.
