Collaborate closely with Product and Design to translate user and business needs into high-quality technical solutions.
Help define and execute the team’s technical roadmap within OTT, Monetization, and Coaching Analytics platforms.
Architect and evolve full-stack solutions that handle live video and consumer-scale workloads.
Lead the development and evolution of Pixellot's SDK, ensuring it is scalable, easy to integrate, and delivers an excellent developer experience.
