Since 2019, Craftsmen has worked as part of the software team behind a UK-based, cloud-native live video company whose platform supports major broadcasters, streaming platforms, and global sports events. We contribute to the technology behind these high-pressure live workflows, helping the platform evolve, scale and perform reliably for audiences worldwide.
Craftsmen complements the client's UK engineering team with dedicated software engineers who work within the same product roadmap, sprint cycles and release process, contributing to the continued evolution of its cloud-native live video technology.
Engineers experienced in live video, broadcast workflows and media technology, with an understanding of what shipping into systems that cannot fail during a live broadcast actually requires.
Working inside the client's AWS-native infrastructure, APIs and distributed systems built to handle large, unpredictable spikes in demand around major live events.
A continuous partnership since 2019 gives the team the architectural and product context to contribute beyond isolated tickets or short-term projects.
A small set of realities shapes every engineering decision on a platform built for live sport and broadcast streaming.
The work spans ongoing product development, live media workflows, cloud-native services and integrations within the client's existing platform and engineering organisation.
Ongoing feature development and platform evolution within the client's existing roadmap and release process.
Engineering across ingest, dynamic distribution and on-demand conversion workflows supporting live video delivery.
Development across AWS Lambda, EC2, API-driven services and distributed components designed for live workloads.
Work across public APIs and platform integrations that connect services and support broader media workflows.
Our engineers work directly within the client's existing architecture and technology choices.
These figures describe the scale of the platform and the operating environment in which the wider engineering organisation, including Craftsmen engineers, works.
The platform is trusted by major broadcasters, sports federations and media rights holders across the globe.
The client and its platform have received recognition from leading organizations across the broadcast and media technology industry.

It builds product context, architectural understanding and the confidence to contribute as the platform changes. Craftsmen has remained part of this engineering organisation since 2019, working alongside the client through continued product and platform evolution.
Craftsmen separately supports operational work for this platform, helping keep high-volume live workflows running day to day. That side of the partnership has its own case study.
If you are building or evolving complex media technology, we can bring experienced engineers into your existing team and product environment.
