About the role
- Drive streaming excellence at scale — delivering a discovery and playback experience that feels buttery smooth, responsive, and immersive, even on older, underpowered Smart TV models.
- Tame the hardest devices — making Angel work reliably on low-memory, slow CPU, and inconsistent Smart TV platforms that others give up on.
- Push the boundaries of what’s possible — designing and maintaining highly efficient, secure, and reusable code that performs under high memory, network, and device constraints.
- Build, ship, and iterate at speed — rapidly delivering innovative features, testing ideas in production, and continuously improving quality through small, frequent releases.
- Set the standard for quality and performance — embedding performance, observability, and reliability into the development process within a CI/CD environment.
- Measure what matters — help define, instrument, and track metrics for streaming performance, app health, and user experience, and coach the team on using data to guide decisions.
- Hunt down and resolve the hardest, most elusive problems — diagnosing deep performance, memory, and lifecycle issues across the apps, and turning fragile, failure-prone flows into a consistently smooth, high-performance experience from launch to playback and beyond.
- Multiply the team’s speed and impact — provide expert front-end guidance, perform thoughtful code reviews, and actively coach and accelerate other engineers.
- Partner deeply across disciplines — working closely with product managers, designers, and engineers to shape features from concept to launch and beyond.
- Lead through influence — sharing knowledge in brownbags, workshops, hackathons, and cross-team forums to raise the technical bar across the organization.
- Continuously refine and improve — analyze real-world application performance, debug complex issues, and proactively recommend improvements.
- Strengthen our foundation — contribute to technical documentation that scales knowledge across Product and Engineering.
