About the role
As a JavaScript Front-End Software Developer you will be in charge of participating in the development of an interactive animations JavaScript Player, embedding a rendering engine, running as an interpreter of the creative instructions captured within an in-house grammar.
You will be working under the responsibility of an Engineering Manager, closely with the VP of the OCS Engineering (founder of the technology) who will progressively transfer to you the component’s ownership. You will be interacting with Back-End and Front-End Developers, and collaborating with motion designers, within an international and remote team of 8 contributors.
This player is at the core of the OCS technology. It is business critical, massively used for rendering ad campaigns creatives based on templates or bespoke. Its grammar is being used on a daily basis by the Motion Designers. You will be given the opportunity to participate in an ambitious program, leveraging a new technology that hasn’t been seen on the market.

What you will be doing
- Develop and maintain the JavaScript player, which is written in ECMA 5 in order to support as many browser environments as possible. You will need to manage its API and its grammar, you will be in charge of the documentation and samples. You will be involved in the design and implementation of web service endpoints running headless browsers involving the player.
- Participate in the design of Proof of Concepts, to assess alternate and complementary technologies (for instance, WebAssembly, WebGL, WebXR), to assess third-party rendering libraries for augmenting the animation and graphical possibilities offered by the player.
- Support the motion designers and the creative template engineer in the understanding of the grammar possibilities and its proper usage for respecting the delivery constraints (binary weight, CPU / GPU and RAM footprint of the creatives).
- Ensure the reliability of the player through automated tests (as of today written in Java through Selenium), proper error handling, with the respect of security in mind.
- Participate in ceremonies (daily meetings, demos, reviews, retrospectives) coming with the agile methodologies involved by the project.
