The Role

We are hiring 3 Lightning Developers (1 Senior, 2 Mid-Level) to help deliver critical features for a new streaming store concept.

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to meet delivery timelines
  • Contribute to a culture of accountability – engineers own the quality of what they produce
  • Participate fully in team ways of working: planning, reviews, and standups (not operating as external consultants)

What We’re Looking For

  • Strong JavaScript experience (minimum 3 years for mid-level, 5+ years for senior)
  • Hands-on experience with Lightning framework (Lightning 2 preferred)
  • Background in device platforms, web applications, or TV/broadcast-related products is a strong plus
