Company Description

Dailymotion is more than just a video app, it's a visual conversation in motion powered by a unique algorithm designed to develop users' critical thinking. Dailymotion brings nuance to the debates that engage young audiences and puts listening, discovery, and kindness back at the heart of exchanges to help build a safer and more virtuous Internet.

Dailymotion is also "Dailymotion Pro", a video hosting and streaming solution serving professionals across all industries; and "Dailymotion Advertising", a powerful proprietary video marketing platform that offers a high-quality and safe environment for brands.

Our team is made up of 400 employees in France, New York, and Singapore, all united by the same ambition: to visibly shake up the video platform ecosystem worldwide.

Job Description

Dailymotion Studio is our all-in-one video management platform, built for publishers, brands, and creators who want full control over their video strategy. From upload to monetization, Studio covers it all: video streaming, content organization, AI-powered recommendations, and built-in ad monetization, all from a single hub. It is the product at the heart of Dailymotion's partner ecosystem.
 

What you'll do

  • Design, develop, and maintain the frontend applications and UIs powering Studio's core features
  • Work across our stack, primarily React, TypeScript, GraphQL, and REST APIs, to build responsive and accessible web experiences
  • Tackle complex technical challenges around video player integration, content management workflows, creator dashboards, and interactive UX
  • Make pragmatic architectural decisions, balancing technical excellence with creator needs and business goals
  • Write clear and thorough technical specs that enable smooth collaboration across engineering teams
  • Be responsive and communicative: reply quickly, share timely updates, and keep stakeholders informed
  • Take part actively in code reviews, giving constructive feedback and learning from others
  • Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code that your teammates can build on
  • Champion best practices across the board: testing, documentation, accessibility, performance, and operational excellence

πŸ“ Location: Paris, 3 days remote per week

Qualifications

What we're looking for

  • 5+ years of frontend development experience with production apps shipped at scale
  • React & TypeScript: your everyday tools, not just words on a resume
  • GraphQL and REST APIs: you know how to fetch, cache, and manage data client-side
  • Strong fundamentals: HTML, CSS, JavaScript/TypeScript, browser APIs, responsive design, web performance
  • Solid grasp of modern frontend architecture: components, state management, routing
  • Autonomous by default: you drive work forward without needing constant supervision

English is mandatory: it's the team's daily working language. French is a plus

Nice to haves

  • Comfortable using AI tools (Copilot, ChatGPT, etc.) for prototyping, debugging, or documenting, while knowing their limits
  • Familiar with web optimization: lazy loading, code splitting, bundle optimization
  • Experience with modern CSS methodologies: CSS Modules, Styled Components, Tailwind, or equivalent
  • Solid with Git, CI/CD, and modern dev workflows
  • Background in a startup or product company where you had to move fast with limited resources

What Will Make the Difference

You thrive in ambiguity, love exploring unfamiliar codebases, and can navigate complex systems even when documentation is sparse (or nonexistent). You prefer autonomy over micromanagement, turn messy problems into clean solutions, and always keep creators' needs front of mind.
