Streaming Engineer

At Viaplay Group, we entertain millions of people every day through our streaming services, radio networks, and TV channels. We

believe in the power of content not just as a way of telling stories and touching lives, but also expanding worlds.

We’re looking for the best people to join us on our journey. Right now, we’re searching for our next colleague to join as a

Streaming Engineer to help us protect our content and strengthen the technology behind a secure, reliable streaming experience.

The role is in our Stockholm office. Are you ready to hit play on an exciting career change?

As a Streaming Engineer for content protection at Viaplay, you will develop and operate the security controls that protect our

streams, from DRM infrastructure to enforcement at the CDN edge. Working closely with other streaming engineers, backend engineers

and other specialists across Viaplay, you will turn protection requirements into practical solutions for live and on-demand

streaming. You will also collaborate with technology partners to improve our protection capabilities while maintaining playback

quality and reliability. Together we have a passion for streaming, and we are keen on finding our next colleague to join us in our

mission!

The improvement you work on helps protect the stories and sporting moments our viewers come for, while keeping playback smooth.

You’ll see your ideas become working safeguards across the streaming platform. The focuses will be on

• Investigate production issues, improve monitoring, and test changes for their effect on security, performance, and playback

reliability.

You are curious in understanding how streaming systems work and finding practical ways to make them more secure. You combine

structured problem-solving with a collaborative approach and are comfortable moving between development and operational

investigation. You’re drawn to problems without an obvious answer and willing to challenge how things are done. You think in

systems, connecting the details to the bigger picture. You’re curious about working alongside AI agents where setting direction,

delegating tasks and challenging the results is a natural part of your work. You bring the confidence to experiment and the

judgement to own what you deliver.

We understand you may feel confident ticking certain boxes more than others and that’s why we always keep an open mind in our

recruitment process. But to thrive in this role, we do believe you’ll have experience in some of the following areas:

• Experience or a curiosity to learn using AI-assisted tools, to support development, troubleshooting and automation, with sound

judgement when reviewing outputs for correctness, security and reliability

• We’ve got you covered! 30 days of paid vacation every year, an attractive pension and insurance scheme, and generous parental

leave pay lift.

• Flexibility that works. We follow a hybrid model with at least three days a week in the office, giving you the best mix of

collaboration and focus time.

• An innovative environment with Hack Days once a year. This week-long initiative allows you to think outside the box and deliver

creative, technical solutions that (more often than not) go on to be implemented, either in our product or our ways of

working.

• Entertainment is what we love, and entertainment is what we do. So, unlimited access to Viaplay seems only fair for you to get

to know the product – including serier & viewing events, new release movie rentals, linear channels and more.

If this feels like your kind of challenge, make sure you apply by attaching your CV here – you may also want to add your LinkedIn

profile. Please don’t send us your application via email because we won’t be able to accept it. We do, however, welcome any

questions you may have about this particular position.
