Director of Engineering - Consumer Applications

Pixellot’s consumer applications reach millions of users globally - parents streaming their kids’ games, clubs monetizing content, and coaches analyzing performance. We’re looking for a hands-on Director of Engineering to lead our Consumer Applications domain, owning OTT and Coaching Analytics across web and mobile platforms.

This is a high-impact role at the intersection of consumer experience, engineering leadership, and business. You’ll lead multiple multidisciplinary teams, stay close to the technology, and shape a cohesive end-to-end product with a strong frontend-first, UX-driven bar- while challenging architectural decisions and partnering closely with Product and Design.

You’ll join a strong R&D leadership team driving an AI-first transformation, and lead teams that ship with high standards, clear ownership, and relentless focus on what users actually feel.

• Architect and evolve full-stack solutions that handle live video and consumer-scale workloads, with clear ownership over frontend quality and user experience.
