Cloud platform for broadcast, media, and video post-production workflows
Merapar builds cloud-native platforms for broadcast and media production, with deep expertise in video workflows, playout systems, and metadata management. The stack reveals infrastructure-heavy operations: TypeScript, Python, and Java across microservices, paired with Kubernetes, Terraform, and multi-cloud deployments (AWS, GCP, Azure). Hiring is almost entirely senior engineering (11 roles)—a pattern typical of teams building complex distributed systems rather than expanding sales or ops, suggesting they're in active platform development and customer implementation phases.
Merapar was founded in 2015 by industry veterans from telecoms, media, and technology, and operates as a private software services firm based in Veldhoven, Netherlands. The company specializes in cloud-based platform components for media, broadcast, and IoT sectors, with particular strength in interactive television, video workflows, and scalable infrastructure. Their service model runs from initial strategy and architecture through full implementation and operational support. Current projects span cloud playout systems, post-production editing workflows, media asset archival, and video platform monitoring—all built on containerized, multi-cloud infrastructure. The team operates across three countries (Netherlands, UK, Chile) and is primarily engineering-focused.
TypeScript, Python, Java, and Node.js for application code; AWS, GCP, and Azure for cloud; Kubernetes and Docker for orchestration; Terraform and Ansible for infrastructure; and Prometheus/Grafana for monitoring. Also uses video production tools like Adobe Premiere Pro, Avid Media Composer, and DaVinci Resolve.
Yes. 11 of 13 active roles are engineering positions, mostly senior-level. Hiring is open in the Netherlands, United Kingdom, and Chile, though velocity is decelerating.
Active projects include cloud playout systems, post-production editing workflows, media asset management and archival, video platform monitoring, CI/CD pipeline infrastructure, and greenfield cloud platform development on AWS.
