About the job
We are seeking a talented Mid-Level Java Developer with a background in React to join our dynamic team at XITE. Your primary responsibility will be backend development for our proprietary Media Asset Management and curation systems, utilized by our Music Team.
About XITE
XITE is dedicated to sharing our passion for music videos with the world, allowing audiences to 'see' their music as well as hear it. Our mission is to provide the best music video experience globally. Based in Amsterdam, XITE currently serves over 100 million households across North America and Europe.
XITE offers exceptional music video experiences through our four main products:
- Global & International (Europe & North America)
FAST (Free Ad-Supported Streaming TV): A rapidly expanding global platform that offers themed music channels directly on smart TVs, featuring 26 genre and decade-based channels across Europe and North America.
Interactive TV App: This app is available on smart TVs across various countries in Europe and North America, offering over 200 curated playlists for a personalized viewing experience.
- The Netherlands
Linear Television: Our brand's origins trace back to 2008, available specifically in the Netherlands via all major cable and fiber providers.
XITE Music: An extensive collection of 51 non-stop audio channels exclusively available for viewers in the Netherlands.
The Role and Team
As a member of XITE's Content Technology Team, you will help maintain our music video catalog from ingestion to distribution across our interactive app, FAST channels, and linear TV. You will join a close-knit team of three engineers and two product team members, collaborating with our music team of around 10 individuals to create the best music video content experience in Europe and North America.
In this role, you will take pride in maintaining well-functioning systems rather than high-volume daily tasks. Our pipelines manage a catalog of hundreds of thousands of music videos, and once established, they require minimal oversight. Your focus will be on improving these systems thoughtfully and building internal tools that enhance efficiency.
