Company mission
To connect entertainment fans with their favorite content worldwide.
Role
Who you are
- We are looking for driven people who love to work in infrastructure. Big pros for us are side projects, failed and successful startups. It's about the energy you bring to the team
- We love challenging goals. We question everything. We are always learning and believe in the 80/20 rule and want you to share this passion for common sense and pragmatism in everything
- Eagerness to learn and explore new technologies
- The ability to make independent decisions
- Service-oriented mindset and the empathy to understand what makes engineers tick
- A desire to help others before chasing infrastructure inefficiencies
- A “done is better than perfect” mentality
What the job involves
- JustWatch is the leading entertainment marketing platform that connects people with their favorite content. We are looking for an engineer that is all about building powerful yet simple infrastructure. Our tools shape how engineers deliver code to over 30 million users per month, and we strive to make it an exceptional experience
- We enable JustWatch's mission by combining open-source solutions with custom software to reach the right level of fit. To make our platform simple and powerful, we stay away from trends and high-end solutions and are a member of the boring technology club
- We focus on battle-proven, stable technologies. Only when faced with problems we can not solve with out-of-the-box solutions do we build custom ones
- What we recently worked on
- We've enhanced our monitoring stack to keep track of Core Web Vitals, considered the findings, and reworked our Kubernetes node pools, resulting in a ~30% performance boost for the JustWatch page
- We migrated our self-hosted Scylla database over to Scylla cloud. We're doing the same thing by moving self-hosted Postgres instances over to Google CloudSQL
- We’ve dipped our toes into GitOps with ArgoCD and are currently rolling out our Prometheus Operator stack with it
- Lately, we've put our heads together and started brainstorming extensions of ChatOps, the main point through which engineering releases the code behind JustWatch
Application process
- Just hit the apply button at the bottom of this page, and leave us your CV, info, and a short intro that gives us an idea of what motivates you, why you want to work at JustWatch, and how you think you will help us achieve our goals
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.
