About Us

Welcome to [Employer hidden — sign up to reveal], the ultimate streaming destination for British TV. We bring you an unparalleled collection of thoughtfully curated entertainment, cleverly crafted and brimming with the kind of charm, wit and heart only the Brits could deliver.

Born from the BBC, we’re on a mission to share authentically British stories with audiences across the world. Since our launch in 2017, we've quickly expanded to seven markets including North America, Australia, and the Nordics. We are a small but mighty streamer that punches above our weight, available on every major platform and even shining among the bright lights of Times Square—and we’re just getting started!

Now, here’s where you come in: if you’re passionate about entertainment, thrive in a fast-paced environment, and want to play a meaningful role in our remarkable growth story, this is your chance. Join our team and help us bring the best of British TV to fans everywhere.

Job Purpose

You'll be joining [Employer hidden — sign up to reveal] International's Architecture team — a small, hands-on group that shapes how the company's technology is built and evolves. We define technical standards, evaluate new technologies, run proof-of-concepts, and make sure the right design decisions are made before they become expensive problems. AI tools, cloud infrastructure, streaming technology, and developer experience are all in our world.

This isn't a shadowing role. You'll contribute to real work, get exposure to how a global streaming platform thinks about technology at scale, and leave with tangible experience you can talk about.

Responsibilities

  • Take ownership of focused design or validation tasks — we'll scope them well, but you'll drive them.
  • Test and challenge the behaviour of systems and architectures, documenting what you find.
  • Collect and analyse data to support technical decisions and design reviews.
  • Build small scripts or tools to support proof-of-concept work.
  • Contribute to technical documentation that the wider team actually uses.
  • Work alongside architects on live technology problems — ask questions, push back, bring ideas.

Knowledge and Experience

  • You've built something - an app, a script, a side project, a university assignment. We care more about that than your CV title.
  • You have a genuine interest in how technology works at a systems level: APIs, cloud, networking, or how streaming platforms deliver content.
  • AI tools excite you — you use them, experiment with them, and think about how they fit into real workflows.
  • AWS or any cloud platform experience is a bonus, not a requirement
  • You're comfortable with uncertainty and willing to figure things out - that's most of what architecture actually is.

Our Values

Our [Employer hidden — sign up to reveal] Global Values not only represent our culture but also ensure that we have principles that shape everything we do. Defined by our employees, they are not just words on a page, but the foundation of how we work together, every day.

Our values have been cascaded into specific behaviours, which are embedded into all of our people processes, including hiring, onboarding, performance evaluation and feedback.

We are proud of our values and seek to hire people who resonate with them

This job spec is not exhaustive and may change from time to time in line with the evolving nature of a dynamic and growing business.
