As a part of our developer team, you will develop the HbbTV applications that will run on 10 million TV sets in German households. To ensure that our cutting edge products run perfectly on all TV sets in the wild we need to better understand how they work on the different TV sets provided by the manufacturers. Your part is to combine the two worlds of our JS development team and the data we use to measure the performance.
HbbTV is a SmartTV standard installed on almost all modern TV sets. As soon the TV set is connected to the internet, our HbbTV applications can be started right away from the TV program. This is why HbbTV is a strategic platform for the ProSiebenSat.1 Group with a high management focus.
