Senior Software Engineer

Role Overview

Crunchyroll is hiring a Senior Software Engineer for its LRX Core team. The role focuses on building shared architecture and foundational layers that power Crunchyroll experiences across Smart TVs, game consoles, and other connected devices. You’ll shape an HTML5-based architecture and develop core client frameworks and platform capabilities used by multiple product teams.

Responsibilities

• Architect and build core platform capabilities: design, implement, and evolve shared client architecture, frameworks, and libraries for Smart TVs and game consoles.
• Drive cross-platform consistency: define/enforce patterns for navigation, state management, rendering, and performance.
• Lead complex technical initiatives: own large cross-team projects with multiple dependencies, balancing near-term delivery with long-term architectural goals.
• Define event-driven and scalable systems: design modular, event-driven systems that enable extensibility across clients and teams.
• Collaborate across teams: work with product, design, and platform teams to align on requirements and unblock development.
• Code quality and technical leadership: lead code reviews, provide actionable feedback, and establish best practices.
• Performance and reliability: identify and resolve performance bottlenecks, memory constraints, and device/platform limitations.
• Mentorship and enablement: mentor engineers, document architecture and guidance for team adoption.

Requirements

• 8+ years of professional software development, with strong focus on frontend/client-side engineering.
• Deep expertise in JavaScript, TypeScript, and React, including building scalable, maintainable applications.
• Proven experience designing and delivering complex systems/frameworks/shared libraries used across multiple teams/products.
• Strong debugging/problem-solving skills, especially in cross-module and platform-specific scenarios.
• Ability to lead projects, influence architectural decisions, and drive alignment across teams.
• Collaboration experience across cross-functional teams and managing dependencies in distributed environments.

Nice to Have

• Experience building for Smart TVs, game consoles, or other constrained environments (or strong interest in this area).
