Position Summary

Eurosport is looking for top engineering talent whose deep technical chops and problem-solving skills are matched only by their passion for design and user experience. Our team builds the user experiences for OTT applications on Roku tvOS, FireTV, and other connected TV operating systems. If you delight in delivering high quality, fast, and efficient apps to millions of customers, then this is the team for you.

For 30 years Eurosport has been a household name for live sports. Now, Discovery is significantly reinvesting to re-energize Eurosport Digital to connect fans with the sports they love anytime, anywhere, on any device.  Eurosport produces, acquires, and delivers premium sports programming on linear free-to-air and PayTV channels and digital streaming and interactive platforms to customers in 99 countries and in 21 languages. Having secured a strong and growing offering of exclusive broadcast and streaming rights for a variety of sports and popular sporting events including the Olympic Games through 2024, there's no better time than now to join Eurosport on this incredible adventure!

Eurosport Digital serves sports fans with quality free, ad-supported and premium subscription content in 60+ markets.  We operate on a proprietary front and back-end technology platform that powers our digital products.  The Eurosport technology team builds and maintains the Eurosport.com website and suite of native apps on mobile and connected TV operating systems.  Our product roadmap is ambitious, and our appetite for innovation and improvements to the customer experience is voracious!

Toward that end, we are hiring senior software development engineers to join our team in London. The ideal candidate has a track record of building high-performance, stable, scalable applications that have been successfully shipped into production.

If this sounds like you, your work and approach to work are exemplary: you drive best practices and set standards for your team.  You are a key influencer in your team’s strategy and contribute significantly to team planning. You show good judgement making trade-offs between immediate and long-term business needs.  You are a collaborative leader that makes other engineers and team members around you more productive, by sharing your knowledge, and helping to tie-break key technical decisions. You provide mentoring to other engineers.

Responsibilities

• You are experienced and capable of playing a leading role to design and develop major functional changes to existing software systems, or new ones, involving yourself and other engineers. You make good decisions when to build new and when to extend existing.
• You provide guidance on design, coding, and operational best practices, and have a track-record of applying these best practices to software that you have worked on. You can propose and create best practices proactively where none exist.
• You make high impact decisions driving how and what software gets built. Your decisions are often right, and you are persuasive in delivering your suggestions and ideas to your team.
• You mentor junior engineers, overseeing their designs, code quality, and integration into a team. Your success is judged as much on your own productivity as on the positive impact you have on engineers around you.

Requirements

• Proficient in Swift, HTML5, JavaScript, with TypeScript experience a plus
• Experience with some or all of the technology in our stacks, including ReactJS, Redux, Node.js, ReactNative, Swift, Android, and BrightScript.
