At Base79, we make value from video, be it for the audience, creators or brands. The
right audience, in front of the right content so that the right brands can connect with
that audience and everyone's a winner, your creators are getting the revenue
to allow them to carry on creating, audiences are seeing content that's relevant and interesting
to them, and brands are targeting the audiences that they're after.

So, I graduated in 2010, this is my first
job. It's kind of, you're learning every single day. Everything that you write and develop
as a programmer, you actually see used in the real world and actually benefiting the
customer. We use a wide range of open source technologies
here at Base79, the majority of our stuff is based on top of linux, but having said
that we're open to whatever is the best tool for the job. If that's doing something in
Go, then that's fine, we're totally open here. We are an agile development team, that actually
means we try and follow those methodologies, and that's things like: actually talking to
the customer in favour of writing huge specs up front. We could be delivering a product
daily or in some cases weekly. Something you work on today, could be out the door and being
used by customers by tomorrow. We're a lean agile team, we run a Kanban system
and we focus on quality, peer review is at the heart of our work and we're building quality
in line. So it's not build and fix. So we're getting that right, and involving that practice
is really key to us being a functional and dynamic software development company.
[Music] What you're going to do here is work on lots
of little interesting things, you're going to work very closely with the customer, and
you're going to be figuring out what it is we need to do as we go along. It's a journey
of discovery, who knows what the online video landscape will look like in five years time.
It's opening up before us and it's a really exciting journey to be going on, and we're
looking for people to join us on it.
