About the Role

You'll own the technical direction of Paramount's Smart TV applications across Samsung Tizen, LG webOS, and other CTV platforms. These apps run on web-based runtimes with tight memory budgets, limited CPU, and hardware that varies by model year and price point. You know these constraints and you know how to build React applications that perform within them. You'll lead a team of engineers, write code alongside them, and set the standard for how the team builds. You'll coordinate with central video engineering, external platform partners, and Product/Design to ship features that work on the biggest screen in the house.

Build and maintain application components using React and TypeScript in a hands-on capacity.
Lead a team of Smart TV engineers, conducting code reviews, pairing on complex problems, and providing feedback to improve performance.
Architect solutions considering CTV platform constraints such as web runtime limitations, memory ceilings, rendering performance on low-end hardware, and platform certification requirements.
Ship real-time personalization features on Smart TV applications, including personalized recommendations, dynamic artwork, and ad engagement experiences tailored for CTV.
Collaborate with central video engineering teams to integrate and optimize video players across platforms.
Work with external platform partners (Samsung, LG, etc.) to develop, debug, and certify applications.
Plan and prioritize technical work, scope projects, identify risks, and keep releases on track.
