Frontend Engineer
Zattoo
The Role
As one of our Front-End Engineers you will be part of the Offering & Conversion Team. An agile, multi-department squad which is responsible for all user interactions with regards to sign-up and purchasing subscriptions. Sign-up is a standalone web hosted React app integrated with native iOS, Android apps and desktop web player, thus enables sign-up & subscriptions to be an autonomous part of Zattoo. You will be working closely with other Front-End Engineers as well as colleagues from UX/UI, backend and QA.
Zattoo’s whole web development team builds apps beyond usual desktop/mobile browsers. They deliver JS applications to a vast range of platforms like Chromecast, Samsung and LG smart TVs and set-top boxes.
Performance which matters. Our apps should run smoothly on devices which are 50x times slower than your laptop.
Non-trivial user interactions. We are building UIs which could be controlled via remote control, connected smartphones or voice interaction.
Complex business logic. Each app could be deployed to a different B2B customer, which results in a different feature set, different UI, different language, different business rules and many more.
If you like to work in a unique environment where you are motivated and challenged every day, Zattoo is the perfect place for you.
