Who we are
JustWatch delivers data-driven digital marketing for the global entertainment business, from the biggest blockbusters to award-winning shows and major sporting events. We are entertainment-obsessed ourselves, fueling the world's largest streaming guide, which in turn gives us unparalleled insights into audience behaviours and content tastes.
The Front-end engineering team is in charge of developing
