  • Collaborate cross-functionally with product, design, algo, and other engineering partners to scope projects and build delightful user experiences. We validate our judgment by A/B testing product variants with real customers, instead of assuming we know what is best.
  • Work on a code base that is TypeScript/JavaScript based, built with React Frameworks & Redux architecture fine-tuned for TV platforms, and tested with proprietary Jest-based automation frameworks.
  • Own the quality of your features by writing testable code and crafting automation to validate functionality, in partnership with test engineers.

  • Colleagues appreciate the unique perspectives and balanced views you bring to collaborations.
  • You value the perspective of others when identifying solutions.
  • You know there is rarely one ‘right’ solution, and you make thoughtful trade-offs.
  • You have a strong sense of independence, bias towards action, and an inclination for collaboration.
