Back End Developer

Do you want to play a key role in building the digital backbone of the Nordics? At GlobalConnect, we are looking for a Backend Developer to join our Content Delivery Network team in Stockholm. You will be part of a dedicated group that delivers video and content distribution services to millions of people across Denmark, Norway, Finland, and Sweden.

About The Role

As a Backend Developer in our Video Streaming & Content Delivery team, you will design, develop, and implement solutions that support large-scale video and radio distribution. You will work in an agile team with experienced colleagues, close to stakeholders across development, operations, and customer support. The role combines technical depth with real customer impact, ensuring reliability, scalability, and efficiency in systems that matter.

While our focus is on Content Delivery Network and video streaming technologies, you do not need previous experience in this field. If you bring solid backend development skills and curiosity, we will help you grow into the domain.

Why this matters?

GlobalConnect is the digital backbone of society in the Nordics and northern Germany. Our CDN & Origin services enable leading broadcasters, media houses, and partners to distribute content on a scale. By joining us, you will help safeguard connectivity and deliver streaming experiences that millions of people rely on every day.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain backend systems for video and radio encoding, packaging, and distribution
• Contribute to the design and scaling of GlobalConnect's CDN and origin services
• Collaborate closely with other development teams, network and datacenter colleagues, and support functions
• Troubleshoot, optimize, and maintain services in production
• Work in an agile setup with freedom under responsibility

What You Need To Succeed

• Minimum 3 years of experience as a backend developer (Java preferred)
• Knowledge of distributed systems and network protocols (TCP/IP, HTTP)
• Skills in at least one systems-oriented programming language (C, C++)
• Solid knowledge of GNU/Linux, including configuration and troubleshooting

Good to have

• Experience with big data (Hadoop ecosystem or similar), SQL/NoSQL databases, streaming protocols (HLS, DASH, SRT/MPEG-TS, RTMP), CI/CD, load testing, Elasticsearch, RabbitMQ, or automation tools such as Ansible, Puppet, or Chef.
• Swedish language skills are a plus.

The team and why GlobalConnect

You will join a team of 16 specialists, including five developers, who have worked together for many years. The team values collaboration, autonomy, and close customer relationships. We are proud to serve more than 120 customers, including some of the most recognized media companies in the Nordics. At Globalconnect, you will experience a culture of trust, learning, and proactivity.

Process

We review applications continuously. A CV is enough; a cover letter is not required unless you want to highlight something not covered in your CV or LinkedIn.
