IPTV streaming platform serving 2M+ subscribers across German households
Exaring operates waipu.tv, Germany's largest open-IPTV platform, reaching over 30 million households via dedicated fiber infrastructure and serving ~2 million active subscribers. The tech stack reveals a modern streaming architecture (React Native, TypeScript, BigQuery, dbt, Tableau) paired with customer-engagement tooling (Emarsys, a CRM platform), while active hiring skews toward engineering and data roles — a pattern consistent with their stated pain points around scaling performance, data warehouse optimization, and cross-team collaboration at an org that's moved beyond startup velocity.
