• Experience building SDK components.
• Familiarity with remote control navigation paradigms and focus‑based UI flows.
• Experience writing and maintaining automated tests (unit, integration, UI) for TV/BBD applications.
• Strong collaboration skills and ability to work with designers, product managers, and QA teams.
• Knowledge of monitoring, logging, and debugging tools for connected TV applications.

• Own the full development lifecycle: from concept to store submission, certification, and post‑release support.
• Optimize app performance — memory usage, navigation responsiveness, and video playback.
• Build and extend SDK components tailored for BBD platforms.
• Manage media playback pipelines, including DRM integration, buffering, and adaptive streaming.
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines for BBD applications (e.g. GitHub Actions, Jenkins).
