UI Engineer 5 - Studio Foundation Apps Engineering

The Studio Foundation Apps Engineering team is building a next-generation media review and collaboration platform to power the creation of our global slate of feature films and television series. Our mission is to empower directors, producers, and studio executives to collaborate seamlessly and creatively, enabling riveting storytelling through effortless content review, anywhere and at any time.

This is a high-impact, end-to-end engineering role. We are responsible for developing a robust, cross-platform, high-performance system that centralizes and secures the thousands of work-in-progress files — including still images, short video clips, and long-form videos — generated across hundreds of active productions annually.

The Studio Foundation Apps Engineering Team accelerates critical decision-making during Principal Photography and Post-Production by providing a secure, high-fidelity playback experience for pre-release content, incorporating DRM, multi-factor authentication, and visual watermarking to mitigate financial losses from delays. We address complex engineering challenges to deliver a unified experience across all devices and connectivity environments via a sophisticated hybrid cross-platform architecture that ensures system-native performance for features like offline video playback and annotation.

The team owns the full content lifecycle, from media ingestion and robust processing (transcoding and packaging) to implementing sophisticated collaboration features like timecode-based commenting and annotation, ensuring deep integration with the Studio's internal systems to serve as a critical part of the content creation ecosystem, ultimately enhancing how creative teams interact with media throughout the production lifecycle.
