Original posting

BBC iPlayer | Development Lead | London, UK | Onsite | Full Time https://careershub.bbc.co.uk/members/modules/job/detail.php?... The job description is pretty much on point - we're a small team of 4 engineers (one of whom is me). We build the API for iPlayer (the video one, not the radio one), which is used by the Mobile Apps, TV Apps, Website and syndication partners such as Sky & Virgin - last week we counted 1.1 billion requests! We're also looking after the Apple TV app (TVML), some open source programs, and a number of internal tools for our editorial staff. At the moment we're extending our personalisation capabilities, with some audience research, an architecture revamp, and exciting ML projects and would love someone to help us build the best VoD & live content platform to come out of the UK.
