Role
Who you are
- We seek individuals who are naturally curious and enjoy exploring technology
- Proficiency in Go, including concepts like goroutines, web server creation, and API consumption, is essential
- A genuine passion for movies and shows is also highly valued
- It is also important for us that you share our passion for movies and shows
What the job involves
- Currently, we're tackling challenges like integrating video ads, fortifying against scraping, enhancing response times, and optimizing the click-through rate for our recommender engine
- As part of our team, you'll contribute by coding in Go, gradually assuming more responsibilities including infrastructure management such as monitoring, deployment, and debugging
Application process
- Following an initial chat with our Talent team, you'll engage with either myself or Martin, our VP of Engineering, to discuss cultural alignment and assess mutual fit
- If we proceed, a coding challenge awaits, a collaborative 1.5-hour session where we'll tackle fictional functionalities together
- You will share your screen and code on your machine. If needed, we can also provide you with a coding environment in linux
- Prior to the interview, we expect you to share code samples or your GitHub profile showcasing your work
- You are not just a task execution machine. I (and the rest of JustWatch) want to support your career growth as a developer. We will be working together and supporting in any way
Our take
For years, JustWatch served as a global streaming guide, simplifying the search for shows across platforms like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime. On top of this, it leveraged user data to run targeted movie marketing campaigns.
However, in the 2020s, JustWatch introduces a significant upgrade. Following in the footsteps of Plex and Reelgood, users can now seamlessly search, access, and receive recommendations from all their streaming services within a single app.
Remarkably, despite minimal external funding since its 2014 inception, JustWatch has expanded into approximately 60 markets with a team exceeding a hundred members. As the streaming services market becomes increasingly diverse and fragmented, JustWatch finds itself in a promising position to capitalize on these developments.
