Software Engineer

With audiences consuming media across multiple devices and platforms, the ability to accurately measure and analyse media consumption is more critical than ever. Our Media Measurement team uses advanced technologies to track what content is being watched, where, and how audiences engage with it. By leveraging robust data infrastructure and analytics, we empower our clients to understand audience behaviour, optimize content strategies, and drive data-informed decision-making in the fast-evolving media landscape. Media measurement is working in two SAFe trains with more than 10 agile teams cooperating.
