Ben Sullins

VP of Product Engineering

A Talented Group, Tackling Fast-Paced Industry Challenges

“We have a great team here at Vizio, and we are very supportive management,” said Ben Sullins. For him, Vizio is a community of smart, technical people that manage intense software demands. By investing in employee resources such as Rust, custom tech & off-the-shelf systems, the company ensures a collaborative workforce built from good hiring practices. “We have a fast-paced business and need to deliver software quickly, but without bugs,” Sullins said. “We solve this problem with good automation, strong attention to detail, frequent code reviews and interactions with our internal customers."

A growing employee is usually a happy one.

Corey Mudd

Director, Software Engineering

Shape how audiences and brands engage with product

Long gone is the age of reaching viewers just through commercials. “We allow you to interact with the advertiser by giving you more information and images, taking surveys or, one day, buying right on the TV,” said Mudd, who helps drive engineering for interactive TV. It’s hardly a siloed affair: As Mudd said, it begs efforts across all parts of VIZIO’s tech, plus its automatic content recognition arm, Inscape.

The process of displaying this interactive piece requires all levels of the VIZIO technology — from firmware to platform to Inscape.

Makis McDonald

Senior Director, Data & Analytics

Leverage data to inform digital disruption

Performance data is critical for VIZIO. It’s McDonald’s team that stores and analyzes it — a function crucial as the org incorporates future interactive capabilities for content and advertising. As he looks ahead, future projects include the creation of a new predictive analytics arm at VIZIO driven by ML and AI. “It’s unusual to see a company of this size reorganize itself around data the way that VIZIO has,” McDonald said.

VIZIO, as a company, is in the middle of an evolutionary shift in the way it operates and interacts with its clients.

How does your team reward individual success?

VIZIO engineers have been tasked with re-defining the boundaries that govern the relationship between the television and the viewer. By integrating interactive on-screen elements, voice controls, camera inputs, and a powerful cloud based algorithmic learning we are turning the TV it into something altogether different.

Makis

Senior Director, Data & Analytics

What does your typical day look like?

A typical day is never known as we work with so many components within our TV’s and Soundbars. What makes this job fun, is the excitement of never knowing what we will be covering and testing. In essence, every day is always a new adventure with VIZIO products!

Myles

Manager, Quality Assurance

How has your career grown since starting at the company?

VIZIO’s commitment to transparency and accessibility has allowed me to familiarize myself with concepts outside of my perceived scope, which has improved both my technical understanding and project management skills. This has improved my understanding of the business, influenced my goals and expanded the directions I can go with my career.

Nicole

Partner Manager

How do you make yourself accessible to the rest of the team?

To ensure that I’m accessible to share strategic vision, communicate goals & answer questions, I host office hours with my leadership team, present monthly to the Platform+ organization & I’m always a Slack message away from all our team members. Collaboration is foundational to our ability to innovate quickly & stay ahead of the competition.

Katherine

Group VP, Business Development/Roadmap

How do your team's ideas influence the company's direction?

At Vizio, innovation is driven through discoveries of unique patterns in the data. These patterns allow us to drive customer engagement with the products, identify audiences for advertising, and source engaging content. The creative teams here, are leveraging a vast array of data, data science tools and techniques to recognize these patterns.
