About Hooligan Development
Hooligan Development is on a mission to build a world-class tech team through OfferZen.
Hooligan Development is committed to drive growth and innovation in the tech community.
Hooli Guilds
We live, sleep, eat, drink and breathe development. But not in the way you'd think. We invest as much energy into the personal and professional development of our people as we do into the development of solutions for our clients. Because an underdeveloped team delivers underwhelming results. And no-one wants that.
CareersHouse Rules
We fully believe rules are meant to be broken and encourage dissidence, when necessary. But in the interest of creating a working environment where everyone feels welcome and valued, some things are non-negotiable for us. This is the {code} we live by. You’ll learn #1 on your first day.
CareersAlways learning. Always innovating!
Hooligan was founded on the principle that to deploy the best, we'd always employ the best. But this isn't where it stops. As technology keeps evolving, so do the systems and solutions our developers get to investigate and implement for our clients. For this reason, we've instilled a culture of continuous learning and we invest a lot of time and effort into the development of our developers.
About usWHO WE ARE
The Business of Hooligan
We are a South African-based OTT software development company that is committed to developing innovative solutions to serve the rapidly expanding VOD and Live Streaming industry.
Our tribe of 54 (and constantly growing) Devs on Demand (DoDs) provides a variety of hyper-focused OTT skills and specialisations covering everything from Cloud Infrastructure, Front-end, Back-end, and UI/UX design to QA testing.
Hooligans for Hire
We believe in continuous learning and our passionate, experienced and agile team members are always up-to-date with the latest innovations in the fast-paced OTT space.
Our DoDs have a single (not always simple) mission: to keep your stream stable and your users smiling.
WHAT WE DO
Service & Specialisation
In the crazy competitive OTT market, your platform is your product and if your system is unable to deliver the service you’ve promised your customers, they’ll find a new provider. But we won’t let that happen to you.
We assemble and deploy specialist developers, designers, engineers and architects to deliver purpose-built DevOps solutions built around your needs. As developers of premium digital product solutions, we’re a non-stop shop for high-end OTT service providers.
WHY WE DO IT
OTT challenges require OTT solutions
Having worked in the VOD space for the last 9 years, we understand the industry’s unique challenges. And instead of sitting around waiting for a problem to pop up, we actively seek ways to improve streaming systems for both the users and the service providers.
Device compatibility: We make sure your platform performs as it should on all operating systems and devices.
Peak-time problems: By pre-empting increased traffic and getting your systems geared up for it, we avoid service disruptions when your viewers are streaming.
Competitive advantage: Our innovative integrations provide a better user experience, making it easier for you to retain loyal viewers.
HOW WE DO IT
Our Process
Every client is different. So is every project. This is how we make sure our DoDs provide the best value in every situation.
1 – Initiate
You contact us with a goal, plan or a problem.
2 – Investigate
Having looked at your requirements and current systems, we identify opportunities for optimisation.
3 – Ideate
Our team develops an end-to-end solution and presents it to you.
4 – Implement
Once our proposal gets the go-ahead, we develop and deploy the systems needed and roll these out.
5 – Iterate
Continuous monitoring allows us to identify any possible issues and improve the system as and when necessary.
The benefits of a dedicated DoD team
Specific, Relevant Expertise: As a team built around raw talent, specialized skill-sets, and constant learning, we’ve learned to stay ahead of the curve.
Extensive Exposure: Working with clients across the globe has allowed our team to hone their skills and solve problems in many different environments.
Agility: Outsourcing specific tasks to a competent team allows your organisation to maintain a leaner structure that can adapt to change quicker.
Scalability: We’re as big as you need us to be. Need 1 kick-ass developer? Done. Need a whole bunch? We’ve got that too.
Professionalism: Our work ethic is what allows us to get the job done faster, and in many cases better, than in-house teams, who are bound by internal structures and biases.
