Technical Director - OTT Delivery

ppThis role is offered on an Italian employment contract. Candidates must be based in Italy as we are unable to support remote working from outside the country due to local employment and tax legislation. /p pThis role sits within Deltatre's Engineering Technology function, at the interface between clients — both external (broadcasters, rights holders, OTT operators) and internal (product, delivery, commercial) — and the multi-disciplinary teams building the platforms that power OTT streaming, VOD, digital media, and connected consumer experiences for major international sports and entertainment brands. Technical Directors are the point of technical accountability across the full lifecycle of a project, from architecture and estimation through delivery and post-launch iteration. /p pAs Technical Director, you hold full technical ownership across projects spanning multiple platforms and technologies — web front-end (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React), .NET and C# backend services, and native mobile (Android, iOS). You lead architectural decisions, drive requirements gathering and estimation, and combine hands-on technical practice with the leadership and mentoring that scale a team's engineering standards over time. The role rewards technical breadth, credibility with clients under pressure, and the discipline to keep documentation, code quality, and delivery predictability at the level Deltatre platforms require. /p h3Requirements /h3 pYou have led the technical delivery of large-scale, multi-platform projects before — over months, not sprints — and you can hold both the architecture conversation and the client escalation conversation with the same steadiness.
