Media Distillery, an Amsterdam-based startup, is changing the world of video analysis. We are developing new technology making it easier to understand what’s going on inside a video - using our Deep Content Understanding™ platform to provide metadata in real-time. By using AI and deep learning techniques, we’re able to provide meaningful filtered information and send real-time notifications to our clients.

Media Distillery develops technology that analyzes audio and video content in real-time. We apply cutting edge deep learning, artificial intelligence and data mining techniques such as speech, logo, text and face recognition to filter all relevant information. The synergistic approach of combining these different technologies provides highly accurate results.

Specifically for our team, DevOps means 3 things*:

• you coordinate the flow of development, testing and deployment: You build it, you run it. You handle the server with your knowledge of Unix commands. You're fascinated by modern tools: Cassandra; Puppet, Terraform, Helm or Kubernetes
• you automate and integrate DevOps tools and cloud platforms, providing an extremely reliable environment, free from obstacles, that can be scaled up for multiple clients. You have basic knowledge and growing interest in virtualization tools
• for our ongoing expansion, you start to build security into the product, which is increasingly important for our bigger customers

*We're extra glad if you have a Master's degree in Computer Science or similar, experience with Cassandra (NoSQL) or System Admin experience.

A day in the life of a Media Distillery DevOps Engineer:

You have your coffee with us under the big bright-colored sun umbrella at the back of the office, but what really gets you pumped to start the day is the agile meeting with our multi- functional team. Last week, you've built new automations for our Deep Content UnderstandingTM platform, making your team's process that much more efficient. Keep it up! Time for setting new goals and seeing who of us is taking the lead on what.

After this, you optimize our Elasticsearch clusters. Or maybe you share your knowledge of Kubernetes with us and plan to roll out a new product for one of our bigger customers. 


Lunch time already. Healthy mind, healthy body and a healthy Cassandra cluster (NoSQL)- since you know it from inside out, it's exciting for you to take charge of automating another part of our platform- maybe with Terraform?- or you help the team synchronize data between our deployments in Chile and the Netherlands, with your insights into cloud computing.

As an afternoon break, your colleague Noha invites you and Florian to a friendly board game, before you spend some focused time for your professional development.

The Good News is that if you were reading this far we bet you're a bit like us:

• you're excited about using our open-source tech stack
• you’re a busy tech-savvy person who’s all about automation and making the team's lives easier and more efficient- so we can take over even more challenges
• you strive for continuous personal and professional development every day and therefore you would use the personal training budget without any hesitation, be it for machine learning, natural language processing or else
• you have an excellent work ethic, are able to multi-task and take ownership of your work
• UNIX
• you are a real teammate: you love pairing up with other team members to reach a common goal

• A high-energy, highly skilled and creative team
• Chance to put your own spin on our infrastructure and IT landscape
• A competitive salary with potential stock options
• Personal training budget
• Travel cost expenses
