Senior Front End Engineer Studio

Company Description

Dailymotion is more than a video app, it's a visual conversation in motion, based on a unique algorithm designed to broaden users' horizons. Dailymotion brings nuance to the debates that animate young people and puts listening, discovery, and kindness back at the heart of interactions to help build a better and safer Internet.

Dailymotion is also "Dailymotion for Enterprise", a video hosting and broadcasting solution for professionals in all sectors; and "Dailymotion Advertising", a powerful, proprietary video advertising platform, offering a high-quality, secure environment for brands.

Our team is made up of 400 people in France, New York, and Singapore, all united by the same ambition: to visibly shake up the global video platform ecosystem.

• Make pragmatic architectural decisions, balancing technical excellence with creator needs and business objectives
• Produce clear, comprehensive technical specifications that enable seamless collaboration across multiple engineering teams
• Be highly responsive in your communications—answer questions promptly, provide timely updates, and keep stakeholders informed
• Participate actively in code reviews, providing constructive feedback and learning from others
• Write clean, maintainable, well-tested code that others can understand and build upon
• Champion engineering best practices including testing, documentation, accessibility, performance optimization, and operational excellence

• 5+ years of frontend engineering experience with a proven track record of shipping production applications at scale
• Strong proficiency in React and TypeScript (these are our primary technologies)
• Experience with both GraphQL and REST APIs, including client-side data fetching, caching strategies, and state management
• Comfort leveraging AI-assisted workflows for prototyping, debugging, testing, or documentation, with a clear understanding of their limitations

• Strong knowledge of modern frontend architecture patterns (component design, state management, routing)
• Understanding of web performance optimization, lazy loading, code splitting, and bundle optimization
