Description
Your team:
The Player Engineering domain is one of the most crucial parts of the DAZN stack. We build, own, and support the frontend playback experience across customers’ devices at DAZN. We strive to deliver the best possible video experience across all devices (web, set-top boxes, TVs, games consoles, mobiles) regardless of network conditions. To do this we build everything from our own tooling and automation applications to test and evaluate devices to our own complex heuristics to ensure that we deliver the highest quality video streams to customers as often as possible based on their network conditions.
The way we work:
- We obsess over data and use it to measure how we are performing against our customers’ and the business’ expectations, as well as using it to build our backlog and to inform where we should focus our development efforts. We value agile delivery practices and are continually evolving and reviewing our processes.
- Delivery teams are typically made up of around 5-8 Engineers, a Team Lead, and a Product Manager. Our teams are from various and diverse backgrounds, and we welcome and encourage new perspectives and opinions openly. Whilst we welcome anyone with experience in the streaming or OTT industry, it is by no means a prerequisite to work on this team. Successful engineers are people who love to solve challenging problems and enjoy the opportunity to work on a variety of features and devices.
- As our new Software Architect within Player Engineering on the Player UI team, you will have the opportunity to be a technical leader on one of the teams providing a perfect streaming experience for millions of sports fans across the world.
- As a Software Architect you are technical and hands on, driving the technical approach for the team and advising the leadership team on technical options, whilst supporting and mentoring engineers within the delivery team.
- The Player UI Team owns the UI and UX of the video player on web and connected living room devices (TVs, set top boxes and games consoles) as well as other supporting other initiatives that require work in the video player stack.
You’ll be set up for success if you have:
- Experience of vanilla JavaScript/TypeScript, you’recomfortable working outside of frameworks like React.
- A strong understanding of CSS and HTML5, you understand why things look the way they do and that there are multiple ways of achieving the same result and that some browsers interpret markup differently to others.
- Knowledge of modern software delivery practices, you’ve worked on agile teams and reviewed other people’s code. You work collaboratively and communicate well.
- Have worked on any connected living room devices e.g. Smart TVs, set top boxes or games consoles.
- It’s desirable, but not essential (we can teach you),if you:
- Have any experience in video playback or OTT (or understand DASH, HLS, MSS. DRM)
