Mobile Automation, Software Engineer

Jeroen "JW" Wijering was a student in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, in 2005 when he took up programming. One of his first late-night creations was a small piece of open-source software that enables images and sound to play on the Internet. Jeroen was still in college when his product became the basis for YouTube, which relied on JW Player until it was acquired by Google.

With over 2 million websites using our web player, we know a thing or two about making video easy for developers to work with. Our mobile SDKs aim to provide those same world-class video tools to native app developers building Android and iOS applications. We’re not looking to make the next cool app - we’re looking to enable the next thousand cool apps (and beyond) to build engaging video experiences.

JW Player is looking for a talented Software Engineer experienced in building test automation frameworks for both iOS & Android apps to join our rapidly growing team in our New York City headquarters. The right candidate will relish the opportunity to implement testing processes and automation frameworks for our Mobile SDK’s. This role will report to the Director of Quality Assurance.
