Senior Frontend Engineer
Who we are
JustWatch delivers data-driven digital marketing for the global entertainment business. From the biggest blockbusters to award-winning shows, major sporting events, and best-selling console games. Not only are we entertainment obsessives ourselves, but we also own the world's largest streaming guide, which gives us unparalleled data and insights on audience behaviors and content tastes.

Our Stack

Our web app is SSR which requires more care and love than a normal SPA. Knowledge of best practices for core web vitals is also a big plus. We developed our TV app with React Native. We are currently migrating our Mobile app to React Native which means Ionic and Capacitor will soon be gone.
