- You have deep experience ensuring the quality of consumer web or device applications at scale, and you are highly proficient in JavaScript and TypeScript.
- You are an engineer first, with the software chops to build test frameworks, harnesses, and tooling from the ground up rather than only consuming what others build.
- You have a track record of improving how teams write tests, not just writing more of them, and you have applied AI tooling in a testing context to generate tests, triage failures, analyze flakiness, or close coverage gaps.
- You have hands-on experience with CI/CD systems such as Jenkins, Spinnaker, or GitHub Actions, and are comfortable debugging the pipelines your tests run in.
- You are curious about audio and video and how streaming works, including adaptive bitrate streaming, DRM, codecs, and browser media APIs such as MSE and EME.
- You understand the realities of browser and TV device diversity, and what it takes to prove consistent playback and performance across many device generations and capabilities.
- You have experience with performance testing and profiling of client applications, ideally on resource-constrained devices, and know how to produce stable, repeatable measurements that reliably catch regressions.
- You bring an analytical, data-driven approach to identifying root causes, and can reason through the interactions of client, network, and backend in a domain where playback failures are often emergent and hard to reproduce.
- You have exposure to A/B testing or experimentation workflows.
- You communicate clearly and build collaboration across boundaries, with player engineers on web and TV, fellow test and release engineers, product managers, and data science partners.
