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 control room in the cloud. The company was founded in Germany (where most of the development team remains) but moved its corporate headquarters to Seattle, Washington in 2016.
Make.TV provides innovative solutions for top media, entertainment and technology companies worldwide, including Electronic Sports League (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 from any screen, to any or multiple destinations- including the ability to organize hundreds or thousands or live streams from mobile video for use in professional productions. Make.TV's investors include Microsoft Ventures, Voyager Capital and Vulcan Capital.
We believe in maintaining agility by employing flat hierarchies, and we encourage our team members with enough freedom to take ownership of their area of discipline.
Due to our distributed organizational structure, with offices in Seattle, USA and Cologne, Germany and a satellite office in Los Angeles, we offer ‘work from remote’ options as well. In general, we care most about getting the work done - 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 quickly and adapt if we see areas that need to be improved.
