About the Role

Stop building React apps that only run in the latest Chrome. Instead, make JavaScript run on a 5-year-old Smart TV with a crippled engine, limited memory, and a manufacturer’s implementation of HbbTV that defies logic. Become a Platform Engineer and join a guild of JS veterans. Stop fighting the browser – start conquering the fragmentation of the living room.

Responsibilities

• Break the Browser Barrier: Take JavaScript into the wild. Build and optimise SDKs that perform flawlessly on Smart TVs, HbbTV, CTV, and DVB devices.
• Master the Legacy: Dive deep into VanillaJS. Command Prototypes and ES3–ES5. Make them fly.
• Engineer for Stability: Build a bulletproof testing suite. Kill the phrase „it works on my machine“. Ensure your code survives thousands of different TV models.
• Hunt the Unhuntable: Debug issues that only appear on one specific OS version of one specific TV brand in one specific country. Find the pattern. Fix the root cause.
• Decode the Protocols: Master HbbTV, CTV, and DVB. Turn opaque specifications into elegant, high-performance code.

Requirements

• Bring 3+ years of professional engineering experience.
• Understand how JavaScript actually works under the hood (Prototypes, Event Loop, Memory).
• Use TypeScript and Node.js to bring structure to the chaos.
• Deploy with Docker, Kubernetes, and Jenkins.
• Read Grafana dashboards and Graylog traces like a map.
• Don’t stop until every edge case is covered.
• Make version control your second nature.
• Show a portfolio, a side project, or a demo repo that demonstrates shipping production-ready, thought-through code.
