VP Engineering, Editorial

We are a global, live sports streaming company with millions of concurrent viewers on the best content rights. Our services need high-availability, high-performance and great resilience/recovery strategies. But we’re not done yet. We need to continue our disrupter journey and continue to create the very best customer experiences.    As the VP Engineering, Editorial, you’ll play a crucial role in re-developing a core part of DAZN’s internal services. Your teams will own the DAZN Editorial experience, developing and maintaining the CMS as well as associated services. You’ll need to hire and lead highly engaged, high-performing teams; able to iterate, optimise and learn as we develop and refine ideas. You need to empower your teams, allowing them to self-organise, yet be highly aligned; this is our way to operate at scale. And as a leader you need to deep-dive, technically, into solutions and problems to mentor and coach the teams toward excellence.

• Own the technical roadmap and services in your area; prioritising and balancing internal projects alongside customer value.   
• Setting customer focused direction that continuously delivers results and does not sacrifice long-term service/team health.     
• Inspire and nurture team members at all levels to continuously improve our ways of working, our culture and our individual craftsmanship.   

You’ll be set up for success if you have:

• Experience with cloud technologies, preferably AWS and GCP  
• Strong understanding of developing consumer facing, cross-platform applications.  
• Proactive and relentless problem solver, acting as a servant leader for your teams.   
• Connect and influence across departments, teams and various level of seniority.  
• Agile and DevOps experience, across a large engineering organisation with distributed teams.   
• AVOD experience 
• OTT experience 
• Experience of working within components architecture and/or microservice 
• Experienced in managing external suppliers  

Even better if you have:

• In-depth knowledge and experience developing live operational metrics  
• Practical knowledge of defining and implementing automation.  
• Experience of Multi-Variant testing tooling and high-volume processes.  
• Managed an external to in-house migration of services
