Welcome at Dailymotion 🎉

What we're looking for

• 5+ years of frontend development experience with production apps shipped at scale
• React & TypeScript: your everyday tools, not just words on a resume
• GraphQL and REST APIs: you know how to fetch, cache, and manage data client-side
• Strong fundamentals: HTML, CSS, JavaScript/TypeScript, browser APIs, responsive design, web performance
• Solid grasp of modern frontend architecture: components, state management, routing
• Autonomous by default: you drive work forward without needing constant supervision

English is mandatory: it's the team's daily working language. French is a plus

Nice to haves

• Comfortable using AI tools (Copilot, ChatGPT, etc.) for prototyping, debugging, or documenting, while knowing their limits
• Familiar with web optimization: lazy loading, code splitting, bundle optimization
• Experience with modern CSS methodologies: CSS Modules, Styled Components, Tailwind, or equivalent
• Solid with Git, CI/CD, and modern dev workflows
• Background in a startup or product company where you had to move fast with limited resources

What Will Make the Difference

You thrive in ambiguity, love exploring unfamiliar codebases, and can navigate complex systems even when documentation is sparse (or nonexistent). You prefer autonomy over micromanagement, turn messy problems into clean solutions, and always keep creators' needs front of mind.
