Software Developer II

As a Web Player SDK Developer, you will be responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining components of the Web Player SDK using TypeScript, CSS, JavaScript, and Lightning JS. You will collaborate with product managers, designers, and engineering teams to enhance video playback experiences. Your role includes optimizing streaming performance to ensure low latency and high-quality playback using web video APIs and Lightning JS media players. Troubleshooting issues related to media streaming, buffering, and DRM will also be part of your responsibilities. It is essential to uphold high code quality through unit/integration tests and code reviews. Staying current with web video technologies and the Lightning JS framework is crucial, and you will explore and document cross-team technical solutions considering performance tradeoffs, browser/device compatibility, and Lightning JS capabilities. To be successful in this role, you must have at least 3 years of experience in web development with a focus on TypeScript and JavaScript. Strong proficiency in CSS, modern JS (ES6+), and web video APIs (HTML5, MSE, EME) is required. Hands-on experience with streaming protocols like HLS and DASH is a must. Familiarity with build tools (e.g., Webpack, Parcel), CI/CD, automated testing (Jest, Cypress), and Agile development is essential. You should possess solid problem-solving and debugging capabilities, particularly for video/web platforms. A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience is preferred. Knowledge of state management (Redux, Zustand, Context API) is necessary, along with experience in handling on-call support for customer-facing web/TV issues. Additionally, you should have the ability to mentor junior engineers in TypeScript, JavaScript, and web dev best practices and exposure to web-based telemetry and video analytics. It would be beneficial to have experience with Lightning JS for connected TV apps, familiarity with SSR and web video performance optimization techniques, an understanding of cross-browser compatibility for video playback, and awareness of connected TV development nuances and standards.,
