About this role
Why Join DAZN?
DAZN is a rapidly scaling global sports media platform, delivering live and on-demand sports content to millions of fans around the world across an ever-growing range of devices and platforms. Behind that experience is a dedicated TV Lab, where we test and validate how our products perform across the diverse ecosystem of Smart TVs, streaming devices, mobile platforms and connected technology. As an IT Engineer within the TV Lab, you’ll play a hands-on role in maintaining the hardware, network and multimedia environments that enable our teams to develop and test the DAZN experience. You’ll work across a wide range of technologies and devices, troubleshooting issues and helping ensure our applications perform reliably across real-world customer environments.
The Role
As IT Engineer, you’ll be responsible for the day-to-day operation and maintenance of the TV Lab’s hardware fleet, supporting a diverse range of Smart TV, connected TV, desktop and mobile platforms. You’ll configure and maintain test environments, troubleshoot network and multimedia setups, and ensure devices and testing benches are reliable, organised and ready for use. Alongside the core IT and lab responsibilities, you’ll support manual testing of DAZN’s applications on physical target devices. You’ll investigate device-specific issues, distinguish between hardware, network and application problems, and provide clear and reproducible defect reports to help our engineering teams resolve issues quickly. Please note, this is an intern position on a Fixed Term Contract.
