• Collaborate cross-functionally with product, design, and engineering partners to scope project roadmaps to build delightful and accessible user experiences
• Build experimentation-driven product features, core UI infrastructure & systems, and define best practices to help drive consistency and simplicity of client code
• Work on TVUI Client code base that is TypeScript/JavaScript based, built with React Frameworks & Redux architecture fine-tuned for TV platforms, and tested with proprietary Jest-based automation frameworks
• Architect maintainable, highly performant, testable TVUI client code with effective documentation that can be leveraged by TVUI developers on other teams
• Keep a pulse on cutting-edge Web/JS technologies and software engineering practices, and modernize the TVUI client code base to accelerate innovation velocity while upholding high product quality

• You have a strong sense of independence, bias towards action, and inclination for collaboration.
