Showtime Networks seeks an extraordinary developer with primary focus on backend Java (actually Groovy, but we’ll happily teach you), but with interest and experience in other languages and technologies. You will be creative, self-motivated, a quick study, and willing to develop new skills while constantly improving existing abilities.

Showtime applications are valuable to millions of subscribers, so it’s key that you write code that easily scales horizontally. We’re building the future of television, and growing to support new platforms–and as we expand the service, we’ll get to play with some great tech.
