Job Details

About Filmhub? 🎬

Filmhub is a global, all rights, film & TV distributor. Leveraging decades of industry expertise and a legacy of billions of dollars in global box office, we distribute unlimited opportunity to the storytellers, creatives, and makers who drive our industry.

Filmhub was founded by world-renowned composer and producer Klaus Badelt (Pirates of the Caribbean, Gladiator) and Silicon Valley entrepreneur Alan d’Escragnolle (Square, Intuit) and funded by the top investors in tech & entertainment including a16z & 8VC.

Pairing a global network of strategic relationships with cutting-edge technology, we represent the industry’s leaders, from producers of global blockbusters to Oscar legends, festival darlings, cinema auteurs, and indie heroes.

What's the opportunity? 🤔

At Filmhub, you will be a product engineer - someone who solves real customer problems through a smart and efficient application of your technical knowledge and your tools. You’ll be part of our multidisciplinary product team, where you will build both backend and frontend systems and work closely with design, product management, and data engineering.

We’re facing many exciting challenges. We’re building the first platform to take the whole film distribution online, where your expertise can be applied to areas such as building beautiful movie listings, marketplace, search, digital video workflows, and machine learning, to name a few.

Developer experience is First at Filmhub, embracing cutting-edge frameworks and tools. We ship often and make deployments fast, which keeps us on our toes. Filmhub engineers have full ownership of what we build from beginning to end — not just a small slice of it. New team members deploy their first feature within their first few days, making a tangible change they own early on and all the time.

What will I be doing? 🚀

  • Provide technical leadership and guidance for the Product Engineering team

  • Guide and mentor team members in technical aspects.

  • Make decisions on the technology stack, frameworks, and overall system structure.

  • Ensure that the software architecture aligns with the business requirements.

  • Work in a cross-functional team with design, product, operations, and engineering.

  • Ship a change to production on your first day and a feature in your first week. That “day one” change is automatically deployed to production along with your team’s other deployments. Every deployment is live for all of our users within seconds.

  • Be involved in the full software lifecycle by contributing to technical design meetings, providing feedback, collaborating with other engineers to execute a project, and deploying it to production.

  • Write full-stack TypeScript code for our web app with React and NextJS, overcoming the traditional separation and limitations of frontend/backend. Enjoy writing both frontend and API code alongside each other with automatic code splitting. You’ll be flying through new features.

  • Write backend code in Typescript, occasional Python or other languages for our Decoupled Cloud Apps, knitting together AWS infrastructure, workflow, and platform technologies that form the core of Filmhub’s cloud processing infrastructure
