About Make.TV

Make.TV is the leading provider of cloud-based, live video acquisition and management solutions through its Live Video Cloud (“LVC”) platform. Think of it as a video router and switcher in the cloud. The company was originally founded in Germany (where most of the development team remains) and has moved its headquarter to Seattle in 2016.

The company provides unmatched solutions for top media, entertainment and technology companies worldwide, including ESL, MTV/Viacom, MLB/BAMTech, FOX Sports Brasil, and the Swiss Broadcasting Corp (SRF). Make.TV’s award-winning Live Video Cloud helps content programmers and service providers in the fields of news, sports, eSports and entertainment bring live and on-demand video to any screen, from any source, mobile video or traditional cameras – all at once. Make.TV's investors include Microsoft Ventures, Voyager Capital and Vulcan Capital.

We are working agile in flat hierarchies, maintaining a lot of freedom and ownership in regards of self-organization, selection of tools and other responsibilities.

Due to our distributed organization with offices in Seattle, USA and Cologne, Germany and a satellite office in Los Angeles, we can offer to work from remote locations as well. In general, we foremost care about what is achieved and not from which place - although we feel you should visit the beautiful places we chose!

We are mature enough to structure processes well and to avoid quite some mistakes, but still "startup enough" to move quick and adopt if things can be improved.
