Company mission
To connect entertainment fans with their favorite content worldwide.
Role
Who you are
- We are looking for people that have proven experience in Go, can deploy and manage a live system with its monitoring logging and that have some experience debugging production issues
- Media is important to us and we are always happy to hear from people who enjoy film!
- We are hiring for the attitude, values, and personality
What the job involves
- Our mission is to propel justwatch.com to become the premier streaming guide worldwide
- 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
- 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
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. The last one will be with our CTO Dominik
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.
