This role sits within Deltatre’s Engineering & Technology function, at the interface between clients — both external (broadcasters, rights holders, OTT operators) and internal (product, delivery, commercial) — and the multi-disciplinary teams building the platforms that power OTT streaming, VOD, digital media, and connected consumer experiences for major international sports and entertainment brands. Technical Directors are the point of technical accountability across the full lifecycle of a project, from architecture and estimation through delivery and post-launch iteration.
Requirements
You have led the technical delivery of large-scale, multi-platform projects before - over months, not sprints - and you can hold both the architecture conversation and the client escalation conversation with the same steadiness. You are credible with engineers because you still do the work, and credible with clients because you can explain what is happening technically without hiding behind jargon.
Required
-
- Demonstrated experience delivering large-scale projects or products over multi-month cycles in a technical leadership role — ideally in OTT streaming, digital agency, or a product-based organisation
- Deep expertise in at least one core mobile stack — Android (Java / Kotlin, RxJava, Dagger, Gradle) or iOS (Swift, Alamofire, Kingfisher, In-App Purchase)
- Solution architecture experience for digital media platforms, with a working understanding of the trade-offs across the delivery stack
- Requirements gathering, refinement, and estimation for complex multi-stream projects
- Stakeholder management experience — external (clients, partners)
and internal (product, delivery, commercial)
- Demonstrated track record of upskilling teams through code review, mentoring, and technical guidance by example
- Hands-on experience setting up and maintaining CI/CD pipelines
- Working experience of Agile delivery in practice — not only in principle
- Fluent written and spoken English
- Experience leading projects across multiple regions and time zones
- Familiarity with performance optimisation techniques and tooling for high-scale consumer platforms
- Comfort with rapid prototyping as a means of validating architectural or interaction decisions
- Exposure to multiple software delivery process styles and project management methodologies
- Background in OTT, VOD, live broadcast, or media technology
Process and what to expect
Salary starts from €32K at entry level rising to €90K for those with significant relevant experience. Where you land depends on your experience, technical background, and the stack you bring. If your expectations sit outside the range, tell us anyway - we’re happy to have an open conversation. Internal progression is assessed through a structured process combining a technical assessment and a competency-based interview. The role falls under CCNL Commercio| D.Lgs. 96/2026.
Assessment stages
-
- Introductory conversation: a step for us to get to know each other better, and for us to answer all questions you might have around Deltatre.
- 1-hour Technical round of Interview: we will deep dive on your experience and explore the technical and architectural decisions you have made in your past work.
- 1-hour Competency Based Interview: we will ask you situational questions around how you deal with real-life scenarios at work. Easier doing it, more than explaining it.
If any of these formats would be difficult for you, tell us - we adjust regularly and can usually accommodate. xjncmbx
