People act on what you say becauseits clear * You use AI tools (Copilot, Claude, Cursor, or similar) to write and ship code faster, * Experience with multiple CTV platforms (Tizen, webOS, Vizio, Xbox, PlayStation, or others) * Performance optimization on TV devices: profiling, memory measurement, rendering analysis. You knowhow to find the bottleneck, not just guess * Browser internals knowledge: rendering pipelines, compositing, layout thrashing, and how these behaveon TV runtimes vs. desktop browsers * Video player integration experience (Shaka, hls.js, or native platform players) * Observability tools: Conviva, New Relic, Datadog, Sentry, or similar * Experience working in Agile frameworks across distributed teams and time zones * Rapid proof-of-concept experience. Youve built throwaway prototypes to answer hard questions fast * Enthusiasm for sharing AI tools and workflows that save the team time * You care about UX on the 10-foot screen and youll push back when something isnt right * You say I dont know when you dont know ## Description platforms. These apps run on web-based runtimes with tight memory budgets, limited CPU, and hardware thatvaries by model year and price point. Youll write React and TypeScript that performs within those constraints. Youll own features from concept through certification. Youll work with central video engineering, external platform partners, and Product/Design to deliver what millions of viewers see on the biggest screen in the house. Responsibilities * Design, build, and maintain application components for Paramounts Smart TV apps using React andTypeScript * Optimize application performance on resource-constrained CTV devices. Profile rendering, measurememory, fix whats slow * Collaborate with central video engineering teams to integrate and optimize video players across platforms * Work with external platform partners (Samsung, LG, and others) to develop, debug, and certifyapplications * Manage application state with Redux and RTK. Keep the store clean and selectors fast as the app grows * Write clean, tested code and participate in code reviews. Hold your teammates to the same standard * Coordinate with Product, Design, and Backend Engineering to turn requirements into working features * Work across multiple agile teams and contribute to all phases of the development cycle * Improve CI/CD pipelines and testing infrastructure for multi-platform Smart TV deployments * Document components, platform-specific patterns, and technical decisions * Use AI development tools to move faster and share what works with the team, * You open a Smart TV codebase youve never seen, connect a Tizen emulator, and start diagnosing arendering issue the same afternoon * Other engineers read your code and understand it without a walkthrough * You spot a memory leak on a 2020-era LG TV before QA files a ticket. You fix it and write up whathappened * When a certification submission fails, you read the rejection, fix the issue, and flag what the team shouldcheck next time * You own your features end to end. From scoping through deployment, you dont wait for someone to tellyou whats next * You know which React patterns cause jank on low-end CTV hardware. You avoid them and explain why toteammates who ask * You push back when a plan has gaps. You suggest a better approach * You treat the build pipeline, test coverage, and error monitoring like product features * You help your teammates get better.
