Streaming technology provider Bedrock has opened a new office in Lisbon as part of its drive to expand its European presence. 

Located in the IDEA Spaces São Sebastião, Bedrock said its new workspace offers a modern, collaborative environment, in a co-working space and aligns with its innovative ethos.

In the next two years, Bedrock plans to onboard 50 to 100 professionals in Lisbon, concentrating on critical roles such as Software Developer Android, Software Developer iOS, and Video Back-end Developer. The company said these positions are integral to maintaining Bedrock’s technological edge and competitive position in the streaming industry.

The company will participate in the forthcoming WebSummit in Lisbon, from November 13 to 16.

Bedrock’s platform reaches over 45 million users.

“Expanding to Lisbon is a pivotal moment for Bedrock, affirming our dedication to innovation and growth in streaming technology. With a 15-year legacy and a 400-strong skilled team, our aim is clear: to be Europe’s top platform for leading national media groups. Lisbon’s dynamic tech environment and rich digital resources make it an ideal base for our growth, expanding our global pool of talents.
