Why Work at Ross Video? We have a great group of people working together to create and deliver cutting edge products that look amazing and are easy to use. We go all out so that our customers can have the best possible experience and achieve quality results. With a product focus, continual learning, results driven processes, and creative thinking, we constantly strive to improve our solutions and to deliver results. If you've ever watched live television, news, sports, or entertainment, you've seen our products in use. All of the major Hollywood award shows, most professional sports teams, and many of the largest broadcasters in the world use Ross Video technology. Get behind the scenes and learn about what it takes to make live events possible. If that resonates, and you’re someone with integrity, commitment, and a strong drive to deliver great products, we’d love to hear from you.

Job Overview:
Be part of a vibrant group where you can make a difference in the evolution of technology products. You will be part of a small, highly collaborative team that enables rapid development of production ready web-based software. As part of the platform development team, you will help conceive, design, develop and deliver products used across the company. You will work to improve and grow the technical competence of our designs. Our small teams encourage outside of the box thinking, we value innovation and feedback, and you will work alongside a diverse group of people with a broad range of skills and experience. You will be working on real-world applications and get to see the results of your hard work firsthand. The team is based in Ottawa ON and works primarily remote with the expectation that all team members will come into office on the same day, once every other week. You have a deep interest in Java and genuinely enjoy working across a range of development tools and frameworks—like Eclipse Equinox, React, and relational databases. You love tackling tough problems and building platforms that make a real impact on developer experience. You’re energized by new challenges and are always up for learning something new and are also engaged by the unique challenges of mentoring a team with responsibilities that include supporting vital legacy code. Here, you’ll find a team that values initiative, welcomes new ideas, and trusts you to drive your own work. We operate with minimal hierarchy, collaborate closely, and always make time to learn, adapt and to try new things.
