UXP Systems (http://www.uxpsystems.com) Toronto, Canada We're building a platform and corresponding front-end clients for mobile, web, smart TVs, and set top boxes which interfaces with various cable providers/telcos' existing infrastructure and enables these companies to bring their offerings up to par in the age of Netflix and smart TVs. We're looking for front-end developers as well as UX designers to help flesh out the existing front-end projects we have, as well as help define the direction - both visually and architecturally - of the UI going forward. On the front-end, we're using Backbone, SVG for markup and animations on hardware-constrained set top boxes, and HTML/CSS for mobile, web, and smart TV. Alot of the front-end challenges we deal with here have to do with trying to optimize our application in order to provide a great user experience when dealing with the limited hardware capabilities of certain hardware platforms we use - we think existing TV solutions are subpar, and we aim to provide something people will enjoy using.
