Staff Software Engineer - Discovery - Ooyala - Santa Clara, CA
The Internet has turned every device with a screen into a television with unlimited channels.
People are watching everywhere. They stream from home, from the café, from international flights. With the rise of binge-watching and catch-up TV, people want to watch content on their own schedule . As a result, the technology required to connect with viewers is becoming increasingly complex. That’s where Ooyala comes in.
We help our customers — some of the largest operators, broadcasters, media companies and brands in the world — connect viewers with their interests, audiences with relevant advertising, analytic insights to business strategies, and ultimately, video with revenue.
Ooyala captures billions of analytics events each day, reaches hundreds of millions of unique monthly viewers in almost every country in the world and serves billions of video ads each month.
It’s not a task for the faint of heart. As with many other industries undergoing cloud-based transformation, in this pivotal time for the TV industry, the cloud represents both the challenge and the solution.
Working at Ooyala is fast-paced, fun, and challenging, and we thrive on innovation. Come join our team and help shape the future of TV. The world is watching.
