Hello, we’re ScreenCloud!
Founded in 2015 and with 10,000+ customers around the globe, ScreenCloud is a cloud-based SaaS company, employing over 100 people in our Bangkok, Belfast, LA, Charlotte and London hubs.
At ScreenCloud, we’re hard at work helping businesses to make stronger connections at scale, and with those who are most important to them; their employees & their customers. By using the screens on their walls & the content in their systems, we enable the sales, productivity & engagement that keep our customers’ businesses thriving.
We’re very proud of our product and we’re also incredibly proud of our people. It’s our ‘ScreenClouders’ and the culture they nurture that will take us where other companies just can’t go. So if you’re someone looking to join a team of talented individuals, apply below!
The Role
ScreenCloud apps work just like your phone’s apps, but for the TV. We have over 70 apps to date, ranging from Instagram and Facebook, to live streaming, menu boards and calendar apps. As Senior Tech Lead in Belfast, you will be the leading person in Belfast representing our full Apps teams.
Apps is made up of multiple cross-functional teams, where each is wholly responsible for any project it takes on, meaning Product/Design/Dev/QA all in the one team, with full power to shape their own project.
You’ll help us drive technical excellence and foster team autonomy when it comes to building and maintaining our modern web apps.
And of course being a product for screens everywhere, the end result is a super visual experience that’s instantly rewarding when you see it land in customer’s hands and what they create on top.
