Jobs at Dijit

Always Accepting New Talent to Join Our Growing Team!

Software Engineer - iOS/Android

Tired of seeing the same old startups? Joining "the Foursquare for Farmers" or "Angry Birds With a Twist" or "Cloud-Enabled Social Chat for Seniors" doesn't get you excited? Well, it's not on TechMeme every day, but the $500 billion TV industry is about to get the wind knocked out of it. The Future of TV is coming, it's coming soon, and it's going to be enormous. Oh, and it's a ton of fun to be a part of. Want to join?

At Dijit, our vision is the Next REALLY Big Thing is TV. It's an enormous industry that has largely been unaffected by the disruptive force of the internet. So far. As we've seen with books, newspapers, music, and countless other examples, there is no way for incumbents to prevent the disruptive force of the internet from ripping through their "safe" ecosystems. In every case, in its wake it leaves the next generation of tech giants, and is thus a massive opportunity for startups.

Why do we believe we've got the timing right? There are a number of forces at play: 1) internet is now a viable distribution platform for hi-def video, 2) the "coming of age" of the connected living room--over 40% of TVs sold today have WiFi built-in, and 3) liberalization of premium video content from the chokehold of traditional Pay TV operator monopolies.

How do we win?

Our strategy fits squarely into this changing landscape. As the number of pain points surrounding the TV experience is going through the roof (explosion of content choices, devices on which consumers watch TV don't work with each other, a fragmented social experience), we are creating the solution: an interface for next-gen TV. We think the best interface for TV will actually not be on your TV set, but on your tablet or smartphone. And we're not alone - 40% of people under 25 say they want to control everything with their iPhone. This is what we are building: an app that serves all the TV consumer needs: helping find stuff to watch, seamlessly integrating with all the A/V gear, and creating a social layer on top of it all.

We are off to a great start with a well reviewed app.

We've also been getting great press coverage.

Our team has a lot of relevant experience (Sling Media, Boxee, Clicker, VUDU, Rovi, NVIDIA) and our VCs are been behind a few household names in the space (TiVo, Sonos) as well.

If this piques your interest and you are an engineer seeking to work on one of the most exciting, cutting edge projects on iOS or Android, please send us a note. We look forward to hearing from you!
