About streaming and about Jet-Stream

Can you imagine life without streaming? That we spend 4 hours a day consuming videos, television and radio streams?

We dreamed of it when we invented streaming in 1994, but certainly did not expect to deliver billions of streams worldwide, for the most demanding professional clients in Europe, including very well-known broadcasters, publishers, sports clubs, companies and events.

The streaming market is developing, and Jet-Stream is a leading, innovative specialist. Streaming is no longer only about technology, but also about marketing, business and strategy. We use our 30 years of knowledge and experience to advise and guide our customers.

Streaming is in our DNA. We use our experience to innovate. Broadcasters, enterprises, sports clubs, brands and events can integrate complex workflows in minutes through our platform. We distinguish ourselves with experience, innovation, flexibility, quality, privacy and green service. Customers give us a 9.5 rating. As an independent player, we play champions league, and it’s time the world finds out.

We recently invested in a new cloud, new software, rebranding, marketing, and film and podcast studios. A very solid foundation is in place. Our new direction is catching on, and to grow further we are looking for you. You will be given every opportunity to do so.

All the beautiful innovations are nothing without a structured, error-free operation: every blip is immediately visible to many viewers. Uptime, performance and meeting agreements: we deliver, and that becomes your responsibility.

Jet-Stream is a solid, profitable company. We have been around for 21 years yet still have the agility of a startup. We focus on customers, quality, innovation and profitability, rather than on growth figures from investors, as they are not needed. We are European, Dutch and also Groningen ‘down-to-earth’. We work hard, but with a lot of fun. The atmosphere at our company is informal and professional.

If you are ready for this exciting opportunity, we would love to hear from you!
