Glasgow, United Kingdom STV Group plc Full time

About Us

STV is Scotland’s leading digital media brand. Each month, our commercial broadcast channel reaches 3.5 million viewers and the STV Player is the fastest growing Video on Demand service in the UK. This role is a unique opportunity to work on a multi-platform product that reaches a huge national audience across Scotland and more recently across the whole of the UK.

STV are on a mission to become Scotland’s digital entertainment hub. The world of media streaming is fast-paced and constantly changing and STV is determined to lead the way with our new digital strategy. Our development teams are working to transform our video streaming service, STV Player, into a world-class platform. Our challenge is to blend leading-edge technology with intuitive user interfaces and engaging user experiences.

About the role

As a Back End Developer, you will work within cross-functional teams in STV Digital, delivering the services that power the STV Player video streaming platform. The Player is going through a period of rapid growth, so it’s essential to craft scalable and resilient services that meet the growing demand for the service. With lots of great content, there's a focus now on displaying the right content to the right people at the right time.

You will own the services you work on from cradle to grave - helping product management and engineering leadership define the requirements and architecture through to supporting the services running in production.

Many of the services you would be working on are implemented in Python or Go. It would be great if you have a passion for cloud computing (we use AWS), as we have a cloud-native architecture that utilises services such as ECS and Lambdas. Event-driven architectures are increasingly becoming our go-to as we scale up, and hopefully, you’re comfortable with streaming data.

About you

 

We’re looking for candidates with:

  • At least 2-3 years of professional experience as a software engineer.
  • Knowledge of a few different software design patterns.
  • Experience of developing event-driven software.
  • A passion for continual improvement and how to optimise a complex operational system utilising various technologies and components.
  • A confident, ambitious and curious approach to exploiting the latest digital products and trends.

It would be great if you also had:

  • Strong evidence of teamwork, mentoring, supporting, and sharing knowledge with team members.
  • A good working knowledge of backend frameworks.
  • Experience using Continuous Delivery tools to deploy changes to production rapidly.
  • Experience in monitoring and optimising the application's performance.
  • Experience writing infrastructure as code and/or working with containers (Docker).
  • Knowledge of logging and metrics to help you determine if changes have been successful.

If you have a demonstrable track record of delivery in a related role, we would love to hear from you. 

 

To apply, please send a CV and covering letter to hr@stv.tv by 30 August 2024
