About our client:
Our client is a professional management consultancy and IT services provider, focused on delivering creative and innovative digital solutions. Their client base includes both startups and large corporations, but their mission remains the same: to provide excellent support in the design, development, and implementation of digital products that drive value and transformation.
What you will be doing:
Own, maintain, and scale a single, shared React Native codebase targeting mobile (iOS, Android) and TV ecosystems (tvOS, Android TV, Amazon Fire TV).
Design and implement robust user interfaces and navigation structures explicitly optimized for 10-foot TV experiences, including strict focus management and D-pad (remote control) navigation.
Implement, optimize, and maintain high-performance video playback engines using HLS and DASH streaming protocols.
Secure premium content workflows by configuring and troubleshooting Digital Rights Management (DRM) systems, including Widevine, FairPlay, and PlayReady.
Integrate and maintain video ad insertion protocols, specifically handling VAST, VMAP, and Server-Side Ad Insertion (SSAI) to ensure seamless ad delivery on big screens.
Manage the end-to-end submission, compliance, and release lifecycle for both mobile marketplaces (App Store, Google Play) and TV stores, with specific focus on Amazon Fire OS submission requirements.
Maintain high-quality JavaScript/TypeScript code, ensuring performance optimization specifically tailored to the hardware constraints of TV streaming sticks and older smart TV hardware.
What our client is looking for:
Between 2 - 4 years of experience with React Native, including proficiency in JavaScript and TypeScript.
Experience deploying React Native applications across tvOS, Android TV, and Amazon Fire TV platforms, with a specific understanding of Fire OS submission procedures.
Showcase a minimum of one successful application launch on the App Store or Google Play, covering either mobile or TV devices.
Maintain a comprehensive technical understanding of video streaming technologies such as HLS and DASH, alongside DRM systems including Widevine, FairPlay, and PlayReady.
Apply practical expertise in digital advertising integration, specifically involving VAST, VMAP, and SSAI protocols.
