- A strong understanding of interface design and UX. Focusing on simplicity and cleanliness, not necessarily pixel perfection
- A hands-on mindset eager to solve problems and help your users
- Good code quality. We don’t want perfect code, we want working code, but we need it to be maintainable
- Awareness and understanding of multi-cultural environments
- Fluent in English

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.
