We build Smart TV applications on the Samsung Tizen platform, where performance isn’t optional.

Engineers on this team own features end-to-end – from the OS platform layer through the TV UI to cloud integration with DSPs and Ad Exchange. We move fast, hold a high bar, and work closely with product, design, and cross-functional engineering partners to ship ambitious ideas at scale.
